Opis

Although Iran's messenger may have changed in the last election, the message seems to have remained the same. The questions are these: Should we be cautiously hopeful for a diplomatic solution, given the new leadership and rhetoric coming from Tehran? What are the administration's near-term diplomatic goals and objectives for the P5+1 negotiations? How do we test Iranian intentions that they are negotiating in good faith? How do we get Iran to commit to transparency and to allow full verification that it has abandoned its pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability? Until we have the answers to these questions, the pressure on Iran must be sustained and the credible military threat that has brought Iran to the table must be maintained. Iran's centrifuges are still spinning, in the last 2 years, it has installed thousands of additional centrifuges, and the vast majority are fully installed and under vacuum, meaning Iran could quickly double its enrichment capacity. The fear is that Iran will achieve a breakout capability, defined as the technical capability to produce sufficient weapongrade uranium for a nuclear device without being detected by the international community.
