Obama 'Admin' prepares for a deal, leaving Nuclear outbreak possibility for Iran— and for Israeli backlash.HT: Jpost.

WASHINGTON -- American and Israeli officials have been off script all year on a wide range of issues, caught in public disputes over the wisdom of peace talks with the Palestinians, the fate of Syria and even support for a besieged Ukraine.

But perhaps none is more pressing— no single slight or quip against the other more consequential— than recent alarm bells from Jerusalem over the prospect of a nuclear deal between Iran and the rest of the world.

To the surprise of many, negotiations under way in Vienna are on pace: diplomats will begin drafting the final agreement next week, and all sides publicly express optimism that a deal can be forged by the self-imposed deadline of July 20.

According to US officials, President Barack Obama will not tolerate a nuclear agreement that falls short of practical incapacitation: the White House is prepared to accept continued nuclear work in Iran, so long as the Iranians are not technically able to produce a nuclear weapon.

That standard requires persistant checks on multiple fronts: research and development would have to be invasively monitored, centrifuges would have to be dismantled, and remaining enrichment sites would require constant oversight. And the international community would have to rely on the International Atomic Energy Agency to successfully police the deal on a daily basis, possibly for decades.

Israel's fears are in these details. Iran's retention of active research teams will be hard to police; they have finely honed the efficiency of Iran's centrifuges, enabling Iran to break out from low levels of uranium enrichment at a quicker pace.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu fears Iran will be left with more of a nuclear capability than the world will want to admit, at the whims and under the watch of a United Nations agency he does not trust, no longer under the yoke of sanctions designed to cripple the program.Hmmm.........Iran Denies IAEA Access to Parchin.......Because they have NOTHING to hide.
