How to Prevent Iran from Acquiring Nuclear Weapons and a War from Breaking Out in the Middle East

How events will unfold will depend on how firm the joint policy of the negotiators in Vienna, namely the United States, Russia, UK, France, China, and Germany, proves to be. The options, other than a quick diplomatic solution, include continuation of difficult negotiations and tougher sanctions, as well as cyber-attacks or military pinpoint strikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities in order to slow down the country's nuclear weapons development. Large-scale military operations eliciting Iranian retaliation cannot be ruled out either. In this case, given the cautious approach of the U.S., Israel believes that it may have to go-it-alone and conduct highly unpopular military actions involving human casualties

Op-Ed: What Failed U.S.-North Korea Nuclear Talks Can Teach Us About Negotiating With Iran

The nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran are a rare second chance to use negotiations to make sure Iran does not get a nuclear device. As government officials, we participated in high-level nuclear talks with North Korea more than 20 years ago. Based on those discussions, we believe now is the best - and likely only - opportunity to accomplish this task peacefully because Iran still does not have a nuclear weapon

Biden Should Endorse No Use And Reject No First Use In The Pentagon’s Nuclear Posture Review

The Pentagon’s Nuclear Posture Review, to be released early next year, has led to a pitched battle between arms controllers and deterrence strategists. The fight is over what President Joe Biden should say about when he would consider using nuclear weapons first in the event deterrence fails. U.S. declaratory policy hasn’t ruled out first use, mostly in deference to allies that seek shelter under the U.S. nuclear umbrella

Lessons From the Cold War on Preventing a U.S.-China Arms Race

After months of watching hundreds of new nuclear missile silos being dug in the dirt northwest of Beijing, it is welcome news that President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping seemingly agreed at last week’s summit on the need for strategic stability talks. Strategic stability - the idea that nuclear-armed countries should not be able to gain decisive advantage over one another - has taken on new importance as China expands and modernizes its nuclear arsenal

Biden Should Do More to Prevent the Accidental Launch of Nuclear Weapons. Here’s How

On the morning of Oct. 28, 1962, the 13 days of the Cuban missile crisis came to an end with a broadcast on Radio Moscow announcing Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s decision to remove Soviet nuclear missiles from Cuba. What President John F. Kennedy referred to as “the final failure” - a nuclear war - had been averted. The events of 1962 may have brought us as close to nuclear war as the world has ever been, but there have been a number of other very close calls involving false alarms and faulty computers

One Man Shouldn’t Control The Nuclear Button

Congress should require consultation, so generals wouldn’t have to break the rules to save the world Gen. Mark Milley is being criticized for taking actions to forestall the possibility of an inappropriate nuclear launch order by President Trump. The criticism is based on steps the general allegedly took, as described in Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s new book, “Peril.” Gen. Milley was ostensibly concerned that Mr. Trump was unstable and might order a nuclear launch for political reasons. The general told Congress last month that because he believed China had unwarranted worries of a U.S. attack, he acted to “de-escalate” the situation and contacted his Chinese counterparts to indicate that no attack was planned.

Iran and the Complicated History of the Nuclear Deal

In May of 2018, President Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and in May of the following year Iran gradually began violating its commitments under the JCPOA. On December 1, 2020, the Iranian Majles passed the Strategic Action Plan to Lift Sanctions and Protect Iranian Nation’s Interests, a bill which demanded that the United States lift all sanctions against Iran by February 21, 2021. If the United States failed to do so, Tehran threatened to abandon the Additional Protocol to its safeguards agreement with the IAEA and step up its nuclear activity. And that is exactly what happened. Today, Iran barely complies with the Additional Protocol.
