Shredding the Iran agreement on "Day One."
Trying to lay out a position on the Iran agreement that he wants to shred on "Day One" as president, Ted Cruz brought up right-wing complaints about alleged "side deals" and Iranians being allowed to inspect their own facilities.
The problem with those claims is that neither is true.
Ever since the International Atomic Energy Agency has inspected nuclear facilities of the world's nations, it has done so under confidential arrangements. Without confidentiality, no nation, not just Iran would soon no longer be signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This is standard operating procedure. If Cruz wants to abrogate the NPT, demanding to see those arrangements is the perfect way to do it.
As for self-inspections, the IAEA has said it will supervise the taking of samples by Iranians.
