Despite another round of drama, Iran is actually meeting the terms of the nuclear deal hammered out in Switzerland last summer by the United States-led P5+1 Group. Iran shipped to Russia nearly its entire fissionable stockpile of over 12 tons of enriched uranium. Iran is mothballing thousands of centrifuges necessary to enrich uranium, and has removed the core of its heavy water reactor at Arak so it can’t produce a plutonium bomb. For this, Iran stands to get back almost $60 billion. Some Iranian citizens will be removed from U.S. government blacklists, Europe will allow trade in software, gold and metals, and transportation equipment, and Iran will be allowed to rejoin the international banking system and sell oil on the open market.
