The Joint Plan of Action and the ongoing negotiations to strike a comprehensive deal on Iran’s nuclear program is a win-win for both sides. Today’s agreement with IAEA is no exception. The seven practical measures give IAEA information it needed to make a final declaration on any military dimension of the program, by providing IAEA information and explanations for experiments in a type of detonator that the Agency says could be used to trigger a nuclear explosion. And Iran will have the chance to close the file on military dimensions of its program and continue a peaceful civilian nuclear program without sanctions or threat of military action.

There are numerous legitimate uses for Exploding Bridge Wire detonators none of which have anything to do with nuclear weapons

What's your opinion on this particular exploding detonators, not a part of weapon's program?

The very fact that iran has never been secretive about its work on this technology speaks volumes,add to that that there are numerous legitimate uses for this technology and I think it becomes very clear that this had little if anything to do with any alleged weapons program
