The Iran Deal's Fatal Flaw

The Iran Deal's Fatal Flaw

Alan Kuperman, professor at UT-Austin, is claiming that the Iran deal would allow a "breakout time" of under three months:

You can go through his back-of-the envelope engineering and judge for yourself.

Folks may recall Kuperman's last efforts, a rather amateurish report claiming physical security vulnerabilities in US nuclear plants making them vulnerable to terrorism:

Another of Kuperman's greatest hits, in which he called for premptively bombing Iran back in 2009 to stop their nuclear program:

I am honestly baffled how someone with so thin of a track record of credible analysis or relevant credentials manages to attract so much media attention. I think it's worth reminding media outlets of his particularly amateurish track record as far as his analysis goes.
