TOP STORY
What's Next with Iran
Over the last several years, many have written about Iran’s growing hegemony. Using a volatile admixture of oil wealth and aggressive Islamic ideology, the governing regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran is nothing like a stable friend of the US, Europe, and its neighbors of earlier years. On acquisition and delivery of a nuclear device, the clock is steadily ticking. Iran has used the process of negotiations about its nuclear desires, not to reach a conclusion, but too delay in reaching one. How and when should the international community let constructive verbal engagement lapse into harsh sanctions if not military pre-emption? What are the choices?
We offer here links to some of those analyses. ISMI does not take a political position on the contents of these items; we believe a better informed public will understand what decisions need to be made by the international community as Iranian intentions are gauged and responses appropriately calibrated and delivered.
Dr. Kenneth W. Stein, Director 11/30/09
