IRAN - Ex-IAEA official: P5+1 deal will keep Iran as a nuclear weapons-threshold state

The current terms of the agreement under negotiation between the major world powers and the Iranian regime will allow it to remain as a nuclear weapons-threshold state, Olli Heinonen, former deputy chief of the UN nuclear watchdog, has warned.
Dr. Olli Heinonen, former Deputy Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), made the remarks in a panel of the Foundation for Middle Eastern Studies in Paris on June 12. The panel also included former CIA director James Woolsey; former White House Director of Public Liaison Linda Chavez; Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the US representative office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI); and Dr. Bruno Tertrais, Senior Research Fellow at France's Foundation for Strategic Research (FRS).
Text of remarks by Dr. Olli Heinonen, former Deputy Director General of the IAEA, at FEMO panel in Paris on June 12, 2015:
Thank you very much to the organizers for inviting me to talk here and share my views with you. I'm actually looking forward to interacting with the great audience that is here today. So I'm not going to be very dogmatic in my presentation but I’ll make maybe four or five points about where we stand today.
