The Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the release of secret documents that revealed Iran might be able to produce a nuclear weapon in a little more than a decade should show the public why the U.S. should never have agreed to the deal.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said Tuesday that “the details in these documents — which my colleagues and I had access to very early on — were among the many reasons I opposed this nuclear deal.”
The Associated Press reported on Monday that classified documents show that Iran could update its centrifuges with “3,500 advanced machines” after 11 to 13 years, which it said could give the country the capacity to produce a bomb in six to 12 months.
“As many of us warned, Iran can continue to research advanced centrifuges and will be able to industrialize their nuclear capability when many of the restrictions end in 10 years,” said Corker.
