The Prospects For JCPOA Implementation Following The Release Of IAEA
Sec-Gen Amano's Report On The PMD Of Iran's Nuclear Program

*Introduction*

On December 2, 2015, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
secretary-general Yukiya Amano released his report on the Possible Military
Dimensions (PMD) of Iran's nuclear program.[1]
<http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn1>



*The report's findings, whatever they turned out to be, were not supposed
to impact the continued implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (JCPOA) in any way – even if they were completely negative regarding
Iran. From the outset, it was agreed that all that Iran was obligated to do
was to cooperate with the IAEA investigation of its PMD, and nothing more. *



The next milestone date for the continued implementation of the JCPOA is
December 15, 2015, when Amano's PMD report will be presented to the IAEA
Board of Governors and the latter will resolve whether to close Iran's PMD
dossier in the IAEA. This resolution is meant to be adopted by the UN
Security Council.

The implementation process is meant to be continued by Iran – that is, Iran
must meet its obligations under the JCPOA. These consist primarily of the
removal of nine tons of low-grade enriched uranium from the country, the
dismantling of centrifuges so that only 6,000 active ones remain, the
pouring of concrete into the core of the Arak nuclear reactor such that it
will not be able to be used to manufacture plutonium, the adoption of the
Additional Protocol, and more.

After that, the IAEA will check to verify that Iran has carried these out;
when it announces that it has, the next milestone date, Implementation Day,
will come into force. At that time, Europe and the U.S. will carry out
their promise, made October 19, 2015, to lift and suspend their sanctions
on Iran.

It was Iran itself that made Amano's PMD report a problematic issue, and,
essentially, a condition for its continued implementation of the JCPOA.
Iran demanded that the IAEA Board of Governors close its PMD dossier, and,
according to some Iranian spokesmen, it should do so in a way that
completely exonerates Iran of accusations against it regarding development
of a military nuclear program. That is, Iran will not be satisfied with a
closure of the dossier that is merely formal if Amano's report does not
completely exonerate it.

To this end, in the days leading up to the release of the report, Iran
pressured the IAEA and the P5+1, with the aim of ensuring that the report
would completely clear Iran of suspicions regarding PMD.[2]
<http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn2>

In addition to its direct pressure on Amano, Iran also implemented
political pressure on the P5+1, warning that if the dossier remained open,
Iran would not implement its obligations under the JCPOA, and that the West
had to choose between the PMD, that is, accusing Iran of developing a
military nuclear program, and implementing the JCPOA.[3]
<http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn3>

*The Findings Of Amano's PMD Report *

Iran's pressure netted only partial success. Prior to the report's release,
Amano stated: "What I can now say is that this is an issue that cannot be
answered by 'yes' and 'no.'"[4]
<http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn4>The report included aspects
that were both positive and negative for Iran.

On the one hand, it stated: "The Agency has not found indications of an
undeclared nuclear fuel cycle in Iran, beyond those activities declared
retrospectively by Iran. The Agency has found no indications of Iran having
conducted activities which can be directly traced to the 'uranium metal
document' or to design information for a nuclear explosive device from the
clandestine nuclear supply network."

However, it also said: "The Agency assesses that explosive bridgewire (EBW)
detonators developed by Iran have characteristics relevant to a nuclear
explosive device."

With regard to the Parchin facility, Amano's PMD report stated that "[t]he
information available to the Agency... does not support Iran's statements
on the purpose of the building." Furthermore, the report stated that "the
Agency assesses that the extensive activities undertaken by Iran since
February 2012 at the particular location of interest to the Agency
seriously undermined the Agency’s ability to conduct effective
verification." It continued:

"The Agency assesses that Iran conducted computer modelling of a nuclear
explosive device prior to 2004 and between 2005 and 2009. The Agency notes,
however, the incomplete and fragmented nature of those calculations... The
Agency assesses that, before the end of 2003, an organizational structure
was in place in Iran suitable for the coordination of a range of activities
relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device. Although some
activities took place after 2003, they were not part of a coordinated
effort. The Agency's overall assessment is that a range of activities
relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device were conducted in
Iran prior to the end of 2003 as a coordinated effort, and some activities
took place after 2003. The Agency also assesses that these activities did
not advance beyond feasibility and scientific studies, and the acquisition
of certain relevant technical competences and capabilities. The Agency has
no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development
of a nuclear explosive device after 2009."[5]

*Iran's Future Moves Vis-à-vis The PMD Dossier In The IAEA Board Of
Governors *

Assuming that the IAEA Board of Governors follows the Iran-U.S. dictates
and closes Iran's PMD dossier[6]
<http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn6>in spite of the findings
mentioned above, it is not clear that a formal closure of the dossier by
the Board of Governors would satisfy Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei,
or whether he would block Iran's implementation of the JCPOA because the
Amano report's findings do not exonerate Iran.

The Iranian reactions to the report have been mixed, in accordance with the
speakers' affiliation with either the pragmatic camp of President Rohani
and Foreign Minister Zarif, or the ideological camp*. *While the former is
willing to settle for a formal closure of the PMD dossier without Iran's
complete exoneration,[7] <http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn7>the
latter stresses that the reports' findings determine that Iran conducted
military nuclear development prior to 2009, and see this as a reason to
stop the entire JCPOA process.

The *Appendix *below presents statements by Deputy Foreign Minister and
negotiator Abbas Aragchi, representing the pragmatic camp, and by Hossein
Shariatmadari, editor of the Iranian daily *Kayhan*, which is affiliated
with Supreme Leader Khamenei, representing the ideological camp.

It cannot be known whether Khamenei and ideological camp spokesmen will
accept the Board of Governors' resolution as sufficient. Furthermore, even
if Khamenei decides to accept a closure of the PMD dossier by the Board of
Governors as sufficient, his nine new conditions for Iran's implementation
of the JCPOA, as set out on October 21, 2015
<http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8813.htm>, remain an obstacle
to Iran's implementation of the JCPOA.[8]

*Appendix*

*Statements By Deputy Foreign Minister Araghchi Immediately After The
Release Of Amano's PMD Report *

On December 2, 2015, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told
Iranian Channel 1: "In the matter of the [Final Assessment] on Past and
Present Outstanding Issues [Regarding Iran's Nuclear Program], the Amano
report states explicitly that all the claims about PMD [refer] strictly to
scientific studies [and not to military development]. This is the most
salient point in the Amano report. The general view of the IAEA vis-à-vis
Past and Present Outstanding Issues in Iran's nuclear program counters the
claims made against Iran in the past decade.

"The IAEA assessment is that prior to 2003, research activity was carried
out in Iran, not by it. Likewise, there is no sign that nuclear material
was diverted to any initiatives that are not for peaceful purposes.

"The claims in the IAEA report about science and research activity are
unacceptable to us, and we will inform the IAEA of our opinion on this
matter within the allotted time, even though previously Amano said that his
report was not black or white, but in my opinion it leans more towards the
white side, particularly when the conclusion of the report explicitly
rejects [the claim] that there is in Iran a military program, and it is
preparing the ground for the Board of Governors to close the issue of the
PMD dossier.

"The report states that there is no sign of nuclear material in matters
that are not for peaceful purposes, and also that there is no sign of an
undeclared nuclear fuel cycle in Iran. In the matter of equipment [for]
dual use, the IAEA says that in the past Iran worked on detonators, but the
report declares that these detonators had uses for both peaceful and
non-peaceful purposes, and that the IAEA could not make a determination in
this matter...

"Likewise, Iran's procurements [activities] are not against [the law] and
there is no organization in Iran that was established to produce an atomic
bomb and nuclear weapons. The IAEA pointed out that in the past there was
an organizational structure for this purpose [i.e. to create a nuclear
weapon] and that in Iran's view this, this organization could have been
used for conventional weapons.

"Nowhere in the IAEA report does it say that Iran conducted dual use
activity, except it is written that dual use activity was carried out in
Iran; nowhere in the report does it accuse the Iranian government of
operating in this direction.

"An additional positive point is that nowhere in the IAEA report is the
term PMD used, since we have never officially recognized this matter and
have not allowed the use of it in official documents or discussions. The
JCPOA and the [IAEA] Road-map likewise do not use this term. In this
report, there is use of [the term] '[Final Assessment] on Past and Present
Outstanding Issues [Regarding Iran's Nuclear Program] and there is no use
at all of the term Possible Military Dimensions.

"The IAEA's claim that in the past there was research concerning military
nuclear activity could be a negative issue. I believe that if the IAEA had
sought the truth, it would not have said such a thing. Additionally, the
IAEA claimed that an explosives firing chamber was constructed at Parchin,
that now does not exist. According to photos from 2000 that we have shown
the IAEA, and on which the IAEA is basing its claims, there was never any
such chamber at such a location. Further, the IAEA visited Parchin twice,
in 2004 and 2005, and saw no such thing. We do not confirm this claim, and
we did not want such a summary to appear in the IAEA report.

"All in all, when all the IAEA's previous claims are placed next to the
[Amano report's] findings, it appears that the report's fairness leans in
Iran's favor. The Board of Governors has no excuse to leave this dossier
open...

"Although the IAEA took samples from the Parchin site, it is not declaring
that it found nothing to justify its claims. We expected the IAEA to act
fairly and realistically and not to present these things in the report...

"Amano is not in a position to close the PMD dossier. Amano is a [strictly]
technical element that must report on his assessment according to reality,
facts on the ground, and research that was carried out. The Board of
Governors must resolve whether to close the PMD dossier. In my opinion,
with regard to the report that Amano published, this procedure should be
ended, because there is no proof that Iran's nuclear program is military,
or [was so] even in the past...

"According to the JCPOA, the P5+1 must submit to the Board of Governors a
draft resolution with the aim of closing the PMD dossier. It does not
appear that the board will decide otherwise in the matter, because the
[political] will is to close [the dossier], and the Amano report provides a
reason to do so.

"Another positive point in the Amano report is its pointing out that the
Road-map was carried out perfectly by Iran. According to it, Iran met all
its obligations.

"Still, the absolute Iranian position is that if this dossier is not
closed, and if even the smallest window remains open [that will allow] a
return to this issue, the JCPOA will not be implemented. We have conveyed
this message, in a serious manner, to the other side, that if the PMD
dossier is not closed [as noted above], we will not carry out our main
steps in the JCPOA. The P5+1 and the Board of Governors must choose one or
the other: the PMD or the JCPOA.

"The IAEA report mentions a prohibition on the use of dual equipment in
illegal matters, particularly nuclear weapons, but there is no prohibition
on the use of dual equipment in ways that are for peaceful purposes or for
conventional weapons. The IAEA has said that EBW [Exploding-Bridgewire
Detonator] and MPI [Multipoint Initiation] are equipment that has a use in
nuclear weapons, Iran has manufactured them and used them. The IAEA says
explicitly that it cannot determine [which] use Iran has made of them. We
have presented the IAEA with documents that show the use of this equipment
in the oil industry and Amano mentioned that Iran has used dual equipment
in matters of peaceful purposes..."[9]

*Hossein Shariatmadari In Kayhan Editorial, December 5, 2015 *

In *Kayhan's *December 5, 2015 editorial, Shariatmadari wrote: "On
Wednesday, December 2, the IAEA released its final report on the PMD. In
this report, without presenting any evidence or proof, the IAEA rejects the
opinion of Iran, which Iran has stated many times, and writes that up until
2009 Iran engaged in a series of activities connected to the production of
nuclear weapons. This is despite the fact that in the past 12 years Iran
has absolutely rejected any deviation [in a military direction] in its
civilian nuclear activity.

"In spite of the extensive and comprehensive visits by IAEA inspectors,
there is no finding to this claim. Several minutes after it was released,
the report was welcomed by the media in the U.S. and in the Zionist regime.
It was said that this report confirms their previous statements against
Iran's nuclear program, and Iran was accused of lying and cheating for
several years.

"It may be that the IAEA report will have dangerous ramifications, that
should be stated:

"1.   It was told [to us] that in the nuclear talks it was agreed that the
IAEA report would be grey, but that the Board of Governors will close [the
matter of the] claim [regarding] the PMD by means of its final resolution.
About this, it must be said that:

"a.    If this is a matter of an official agreement, where is this
mentioned in the JCPOA? The answer is: Nowhere.

"b.   And if this was an oral agreement, how can the oral agreements of the
rival be trusted when it has violated and continues to violate its formal
obligations?!

"c.    It was told [to us] that the IAEA report would be grey – that is,
with black and white points, positive and negative. Contrary to the opinion
of our dear brother Dr. Araghchi, not only does this report not lean more
towards white, but most of its sections are black. Additionally, the white
points that the members [of the negotiating team] mention have only a white
exterior, and their essence is completely black; we will address this later
on.

"2.   The report states that up to 2009, Iran engaged in research and
development connected to [nuclear] weapons – that is, the part of the
report that addresses Iran's nuclear challenge, which has continued for 12
years, is decided in favor of the rival. This is because in the past 12
years, the U.S. and its allies, and after that the P5+1, accused Iran of
deviating in its nuclear program in the direction of nuclear weapons...
Ultimately, the IAEA carried out more extensive oversight activity than
[that required] in the Additional Protocol, and found no document attesting
that Iran's nuclear activity was not civilian. [Our] technical and judicial
expectation was that the report would reject the claims that Iran had
deviated in its nuclear program or at the very least that it would be
stated [in it] that it had found no sign of such a deviation. But the
report confirms the groundless and evidence-free claim of the U.S. and its
allies.

"3.   Our friends [on the negotiating team] say that the general view of
the report shows that its conclusion contradicts all the claims and talk
against Iran's nuclear program in the past 12 years... For 12 years [the
U.S. and its allies] have claimed that Iran's nuclear program is not
civilian and is advancing in the direction of nuclear weapons. The IAEA
report justifies this claim. How, then, can it be said that 'the report
contradicts the claims [against Iran] in the past 12 years!?'

"4.   The U.S. and its allies accused Iran, without presenting any proof,
that up until 2009 it made efforts to obtain nuclear weapons. Now, the
report justifies the claims and accuses Iran of lying, cheating,
concealing, breaking the law, and more. Those responsible for the nuclear
negotiations must be asked: Was this the intention of the 'acquisition of
international confidence for Iran' that you talked so much about? Take a
quick look at the statements by American, European, and Zionist elements,
and at the commentary and analysis by the foreign media, that were
published immediately after the report was released: U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry says proudly that everything we [the U.S.] said about
Iran's nuclear program was true.[10]
<http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn10>He stresses that we [the
U.S.] had never had any doubts that Iran had striven to attain nuclear
weapons.[11] <http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn11>Reuters
rejected Iran's statements that we had never wanted nuclear weapons, and
wrote, with a large headline: 'Iran had 'coordinated effort' relevant to
atom bombs – IAEA.' *USA Today *accuses Iran of lying about its
non-civilian nuclear activity up to 2009. The *Times of Israel *spoke
respectfully of the opinion of Israeli experts that from the outset, they
had said that Iran was making efforts to create nuclear weapons, and more.

"5.   The first article of the [IAEA] report states that it is 'based on
information available to the IAEA... [The points in the original report]
include information obtained by the IAEA from Iran in the Framework for
Cooperation, including* t*he Road-map and the JCPOA.' This article says, or
at least can be interpreted as saying, that even the elements in Iran (as
the IAEA supposes) agreed that up to 2009 Iran engaged in non-civilian
[nuclear] activity. Now, tell me: What is white in this report [as Araghchi
said], and what in it arouses pride?!

"6.   The IAEA report on the PMD is a final report, and the IAEA saw no
need to continue to investigate. Perhaps there will be those who will see
this as a white point, and as a point in [Iran's] favor. But in effect, the
IAEA is stating absolutely that Iran made efforts to attain nuclear
weapons, and that there is no need to reexamine this. That is, the ground
has been prepared for future exploitation [of this claim against Iran].

"7.   The report justifies the suspicion of the U.S. and its allies
regarding Iran's nuclear activity and their perception of it non-civilian.
Therefore, this justifies grave restrictions on Iran's nuclear activity, as
well as unprecedented oversight on it. If we accept this report, we will
destroy [with our own hands] all our achievements gained through great
effort and sacrifices in blood.

"8.    The IAEA report could be more dangerous than the JCPOA, because it
is an international document that proves that the opinions and proof that
Iran submitted concerning its non-civilian nuclear program are unrealistic
and unreliable. Therefore, the U.S. can extend the implementation of the
JCPOA from 15 years to 25 years, or even for eternity, on the pretext that
the IAEA report shows that you [i.e. Iran] have lied  for 12 years about
your nuclear program and there is guarantee that you will not want to
produce nuclear weapons under your civilian program.

"9.    If Iran accepts the IAEA report, as unfortunately is becoming clear
from statements by certain elements, the document will gain international
[validity], and even if the Board of Governors closes the PMD dossier, this
document [i.e. the report] is sufficient in order to permanently restrict
our nuclear program and to leave Iran's nuclear activity in the laboratory
and as pilot [project]. That is, on the level of 'nothing.' Not for nothing
have the rival's media published the report enthusiastically and applauded
the IAEA and its secretary-general.

"10. With regard to the U.S.'s long list of broken promises and deception
in the past 12 years of [Iran's] nuclear challenge, it can be said
fervently that even if we assume that the Board of Governors closes the PMD
dossier, as the friends [in the negotiating team] say it has promised, the
IAEA's final report can serve as a good basis for future extortion and
excessive demands on the part of the U.S...

"11. In conclusion, the defense of [Iran's] national and scientific
interests requires that the elements connected to the nuclear [issue] in
Iran show strength and might and explicitly oppose the report and [demand
that it be considered] an illegal report and not a technical report [that
is, that it be considered a political report] lacking all findings and
proof."[12] <http:///report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8888.htm#_edn12>

It is even possible that I will meet with Amano again... According to what

and moderate report. It is true that it is not possible to determine
absolutely what happened 10-15 years ago, and there are various
possibilities. We do not expect that Amano will present an absolute
report... In any event,  the resolution [about closing the PMD dossier]
lies with the Board of Governors [and not with Amano]. Our criterion is the
closure of the PMD dossier in the Board of Governors. We are waiting for

resolution that the P5+1 is meant to present to the Board of Governors. In
the content [of the draft resolution], they must use terms that mean

this dossier is not closed, our position is absolutely clear – this dossier
must be closed, so that we implement the JCPOA. If not, we will not
implement our obligations, that according to the JCPOA Iran must implement
after the closure of the PMD dossier. That is, the JCPOA will not be
implemented fully. Mehr (Iran), November 29, 2015. Araghchi added, "If
Yukiya Amano or the Board of Governors present their report in such a way
that it does not meet the obligations that were given, Iran too will stop
[implementing] the JCPOA." Press TV, Iran, November 26, 2015. Also, at a
November 26, 2015 press conference, Foreign Minister Zarif said: "The Amano
report, in the coming days, will help close the dossier permanently. If the
report is realistic enough, Iran will move in the direction envisioned for
it in the past [that is, it will implement the JCPOA]."The PMD is
encapsulated, though we believe undeservedly, as 'concerns past and
present' in the text of the JCPOA; we hope Amano's report within upcoming
days will help close the case forever. If the report is realistic enough,
Iran will move in the direction predicted for it before." Mehr (Iran),
