Iran after the Agreement

The political debates over the Iran nuclear agreement have tended to focus on side issues: what might happen more than 10 years from now, how soon Iran could develop one crude nuclear device, worst-case 24-day challenges to inspection, and largely irrelevant issues like the inspection of Parchim—an Iranian facility that has already been destroyed. Washington now must face both the challenges in actually implementing the Iran nuclear agreement and a much wider range of challenges from Iran.
