Current Issues of Interest on Israel and the Middle East |

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.
