Some excellent points by Susan Khazaeli in her piece: Ignore the naysayers – a nuclear deal with Iran is close in today's Globe & Mail.  Key excerpt:

The P5+1 negotiators have been wrong to focus on centrifuges – not least because they are, in essence, dictating to Iran, but because it is the wrong metric of a good deal. Most non-proliferation and arms control experts are agreed that only verification can achieve the ultimate goal of preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon. For now, Iran’s facilities at Natanz and Fordow are subject to daily inspections. Under such scrutinous conditions, Iran is not liable to ‘break-out.’
