"Waiver governing Bushehr nuclear complex...shld be extended because allows Iran to buy uranium to power its reactor rather than enriching it on its own." “U.S. position should be that Fordow be shut down...was part of nuclear weapons program and it’s being preserved for [one].”https://twitter.com/TheGoodISIS/status/1116373848096759810 …

8. "If Trump sincerely desires a better deal, he will not achieve it by keeping parts of the old one alive that reward Iran when it deserves it least."

7. "For maximum pressure to bear fruit, the U.S. should be prohibiting nuclear know-how and related material from flowing into the country." Nevertheless, "the State Department granted civilian nuclear waivers for Iran without having to provide a full accounting of its program."

6. "Bushehr is a light-water reactor that poses less of a proliferation risk and is the subject of genuine nuclear safety ventures like stress testing, and a waiver related to Bushehr should therefore continue to be granted, as well as made public."

5. "Washington should tie the provision of a waiver for Arak to Iran providing the IAEA with access to the tubes, their verified destruction, and information related to their procurement."

4. "Much like Iran’s careful curation and retention of the nuclear archive, the regime’s decision to procure and retain these tubes highlights its future intentions. By continuing to provide a waiver for Arak, Washington is turning a blind-eye..."

3. On the Arak reactor, Iran "apparently hedged its bets to make sure it could keep the door open to a potential plutonium pathway to a nuclear weapon"... "the Iranians illicitly procured a spare set of tubes for the calandria of the Arak reactor."

2. "...The atomic archive information makes clear that the focus on Fordow should now be investigating its origins. The waiver perpetuates the Iranian fiction that Fordow was part of a civilian nuclear program."
