When you guys hear this industry term, a breakout hit, what does that mean?

Immediately after the escape, the Transitional Government dismissed two senior penitentiary officials and detained eight prison guards for alleged complicity in the breakout.

Maybe my friend was lucky to speak with only two of the 20 people in his breakout group. As Werqit s Anderson knows, the most effective introductions are those made by others.

The risk of NPT parties misusing the Treaty's peaceful nuclear energy provisions in order to acquire the technical basis for a rapid breakout to nuclear weapons is a serious matter for the international community.

Kaki King, the first female on Rolling Stone's guitar god list, rocks out to a full live set at TED2008, including her breakout single, Playing with Pink Noise. Jaw dropping virtuosity meets a guitar technique that truly stands out.

Indeed, does my friend have a right to their time? He told me that he had actually sat in a breakout group with 20 people, each of whom he wanted to meet, but he managed to talk to only two of them.

If trust were to collapse, and the Iranian regime decided to abrogate all of the relevant international agreements, it is highly likely that it would get its weapon, even if the country itself was bombed repeatedly. The strategic emphasis on breakout time is thus misplaced.

The reality is that Iran does not envisage giving up its nuclear breakout capacity. The negotiations are aimed not at eradication, but at lengthening lead time specifically, limiting uranium enrichment levels to 3.5 , establishing a strong inspections regime, and reaching an agreement on the Arak nuclear facility.

Indeed, this is what explains some of the most astounding turnarounds in economic performance in recent decades, such as South Korea s and China s breakout growth (in the 1960 s and the late 1970 s, respectively). In both cases, the biggest winners were vested interests (Korea s business establishment and the Chinese Communist Party).

The absence of trust between Iran and the West leads directly to the second obstacle to a comprehensive agreement verification and monitoring. The central issue in these negotiations, around which everything else revolves, concerns Iran s breakout capability the time it would need, within the framework of any agreement with the West, to renege and build a nuclear weapon.

Indeed, the US has trimmed its presence abroad by refusing to contribute to a eurozone bailout, intervene in Syria, or use force to contain Iran s nuclear breakout (despite strong Israeli support). President Barack Obama officially ended the war in Iraq, and is withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan at a pace constrained only by the need to save face.

In a football match, the rituals the flag waving, the national anthems, the collective chants and the language that is employed (the match starts with a breakout of hostilities, one bombs the goal, blows up the defense, launches missile ) reinforce the perception of war by other means. And, in fact, real war has actually broken out over football.

In the meantime, a major effort must be launched to assuage the concerns of Iran s neighbors, several of which will be tempted to hedge their bets against Iran s potential breakout in 15 years by pursuing nuclear programs of their own. The Middle East is already nightmarish enough without the added risks posed by a number of would be nuclear powers.

Two quarters of strengthening GDP growth hardly indicates a breakout from an anemic recovery. The same thing has happened twice since the end of the Great Recession in mid 2009 a 3.4 average annualized gain in the second and third quarters of 2010 and a 4.3 average increase in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.

It is important that the United States (ideally, joined by other countries) let Iran know that any action to put itself in a position to field nuclear weapons after 15 years, though not explicitly precluded by the accord, will not be tolerated. Harsh sanctions should be reintroduced at the first sign that Iran is preparing a post JCPOA breakout this, too, is not precluded by the accord.

It is not for nothing that such facilities have been described as bomb starter kits, and that Iran s progress down that path whether deliberately designed to give it a latent weapons breakout capability or not has spooked so many others in the international community. That is why there was so much pressure to produce the deal now on the table, which dramatically limits Iran s enrichment capability.

The question, then, is why has Iran walked the precipice for so long by building a visible breakout capability bound to spook the West, Israel, and its Arab neighbors? The answer, I believe, is overwhelmingly national pride its peoples desire to demonstrate that Iran is a power to be reckoned with, a country that has impressive technical prowess, and that there are limits to its willingness to suffer international humiliation.

From 2003 to 2006, Iran made clear to anyone willing to listen that it would agree to all the key elements of the recent deal, including measures to block uranium and plutonium pathways to a bomb and obtrusive monitoring mechanisms to ensure ample advance notice of a likely breakout. All it needed in return beyond, of course, the lifting of sanctions as implementation proceeded was formal recognition of its right to enrich uranium.

With little leverage, Iran s leaders would then have two options. They could follow North Korea by sacrificing economic prosperity for nuclear breakout, and hope that US and Israeli talk of all options being on the table to stop their efforts is a bluff or they could pursue economic prosperity by forgoing a nuclear weapons capacity, and hope that a Libya style revolt does not envelope the country and doom the regime to a fate like that of Qaddafi.
