Iran nuclear program

The United States and Iran will both need to convince domestic critics that any nuclear agreement is a success.

The North Korea and Ukraine experiences offer some useful lessons, positive and negative.

The Russian offer gives the U.S. to engage with Iran on a host of regional issues, including Syria.

“At present, we have no enrichment plan for purity levels above 20 percent, but when it comes to certain needs…”

A rumored proposal suggests that global powers continue to underestimate the value Iran places on its nuclear program.

Iran would have much to lose in closing the strait. If Tehran’s economic security is endangered, it might choose a ‘measured’ response.
