Iran deal draft reportedly includes 4 phases, would take full effect after 165 days
[IsraelTimes] The draft proposal would see a uranium enrichment freeze, sanctions relief and a prisoner release deal.
Benefits front-loaded for Iran, one assumes, and all that’s required of them is a pause — a pause during which cheating will not be difficult.
A draft proposal
...I suppose technically it’ll be a draft until all parties have signed and confirmed the thing...
from the final stages of negotiations to revive the 2015 Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....
nuclear deal envisions the Iranians halting all uranium enrichment, but holding on to the material they already have,

...that’ll be a hudna of a pause — in place only until the Mad Mullahs have secretly refined enough uranium to fill their nuclear bomb molds...
and a final US return to the pact less than six months after it is signed, Haaretz reported on Sunday.

The newspaper published what it said was a draft of the proposal submitted by the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
to the Iranians last month as a final offer. Iran responded with its own comments and the US later provided its own input after reviewing the Iranian response. The EU has coordinated talks in Vienna on reviving the nuclear deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which has unraveled since the US pulled out in 2018.

According to the unsourced report, the EU draft proposed last month included four incremental steps in the halting of Iran’s nuclear activity and in the lifting of Western sanctions on the Islamic Theocratic Republic, with the fourth and final step taking effect 165 days after the deal is signed.

The purpose of the gradual steps is to consolidate trust between the parties, according to the report.
Taqiyya. Iran has demonstrated over the years that it cannot be trusted in this, as in other matters.
Before any deal is signed, the sides will reportedly finalize a deal that will see Western prisoners freed by Tehran in exchange for Iranian assets being unfrozen by Western nations and initial sanctions relief.
Ah. They’ve been taken as hostages against America, etc thinking they might not surrender and sign the stupid thing as well as for money.
The first step, taking effect on the day of the signing, would see Iran freeze its uranium enrichment, although it will be allowed to hold on to the enriched uranium it will have stockpiled before that date.

The report said the second step would take 30 days and will see the administration of US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run. On the other hand, he did abandon Afghanistan...
bring the deal to Congress for approval. The third step, 60 days after congressional approval,
...assuming Congress does, though really they mean the Senate, do they not?
would see Washington notify the UN Security Council and the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about its decision to rejoin the pact.

The fourth and final step — after an additional 60 days — would see the US formally return to the deal, with the sides removing more sanctions and halting their violations of the JCPOA, according to the report.

An official with knowledge of the negotiations told Rooters last week that under the emerging deal, Iran would not be allowed to possess uranium at 20% and 60% enrichment levels and it would be forced to switch off its advanced centrifuges, preventing it from amassing the material required to build a bomb.
But not destroy the machines and give up the refined product.
A day before it gave its remarks to the EU, Washington said that Iran had agreed to ease key demands that had held up an agreement.

According to an anonymous US official, Iran’s draft does not include Tehran’s long-held demand that the US lift the terrorism designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and that the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency close its investigation into unexplained traces of uranium at three undeclared sites.

Israel has piled pressure on Western countries to halt talks on reviving the agreement, warning against the consequences of returning to the accord. Mossad chief David Barnea will travel to Washington next week as part of the efforts to shape the deal.

A senior Israeli official told news hounds Sunday that Israel wants "a minimum amount" of funds to be released to Iran through lifted sanctions, but did not specify if there’s a figure Israel could accept. Lapid last week claimed that the deal would enable $100 billion a year to flow into Iran’s coffers, money that he said could be directed to its terror financing.

The 2015 agreement between Iran and six world powers — Britannia, China, La Belle France, Germany, Russia, and the US — gave the Islamic Theocratic Republic sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.

The JCPOA was designed to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon — something the country has denied it is pursuing.

After the US withdrew and imposed sanctions on Iran the latter dropped many of its own commitments, ramping up its program and enriching uranium to levels and stockpiles that exceed the JCPOA limits and raising concerns that it is approaching the threshold of producing a nuclear weapon.

#1 Phase 1: Pretend to freeze enrichment, while cheating
Phase 2: Once there is enough enriched uranium, assemble bomb
Phase 3: Mount bomb on missile
Phase 4: Tel Aviv disappears under a mushroom cloud

Not mentioned: phase 5: Tehran, Qom, and numerous other places in Iran disappear under Israeli mushroom clouds

#3 Israel may now, or soon may, have the capability to shoot down an Iran fired nuclear missile depending on where sensing and targeting assets are placed.

This probably matters.

#4  This probably matters.

It would certainly prove amusing to watch, for those of us not in those regions of Iran under the stymied missiles.
