Il Hyun Cho, Assistant Professor of Government and Law at Lafayette College, believes stopping Iran's nuclear program is and should be a top priority.


"We have to stop Iran's nuclear program," Cho said. "That has been the U.S. and many European country's petition on this."


In Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress on Tuesday, he said Congress' current negotiations with Iran are not stern enough with regard to their nuclear program.


"A deal that is supposed to prevent nuclear proliferation, will instead spark nuclear arms race in the most dangerous part of the planet," Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said.


In response, Cho said how closely Iran's nuclear program is monitored is an aspect of current negotiations that will have a major consequences.


"That is part of the deal that is being negotiated," Cho said.


Cho said if Iran allows the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to inspect their facilities, their ability to produce and turn out highly enriched uranium would be limited.


However, if the process of verification gets delayed with political difficulties, Cho said then it will be difficult to effectively stop nuclear ability in Iran.


"Israel is also a nuclear power in the Middle East," Cho said. "So you add one more nuclear power that might lead to a regional nuclear arms race. That is a major concern."


The White House said the current deal being brokered with Iran has only a 50-50 chance of being agreed upon at best.
