Leading Iran Experts Offer "Scorecard" for Nuclear Deal

WASHINGTON, July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- JINSA's Gemunder Center Iran Task Force will release a new report at a panel discussion today to provide an expert analysis of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA), the final agreement with Iran on nuclear disarmament.

The Task Force – co-chaired by Ambassador Dennis Ross, who played a leading role in shaping the Middle East peace process for 12 years under three administrations, and Ambassador Eric Edelman,former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy under President George W. Bush – has detailed a comprehensive series of questions and concerns in three previous reports this year. 

This new report will analyze the extent to which the JCPA addresses these issues, which included:

• Key restrictions being removed in 5-15 years
• R&D on advanced centrifuges
• Front-loaded sanctions relief – including up to $150 billion in unfrozen assets – with no automatic "snapback" mechanism
• An end to the U.N. arms embargo against Iran
• No anytime, anywhere inspections
