Should approval of an international agreement limiting Iran’s nuclear program be linked to Iran’s history of sponsoring terrorism?
That question will move to center stage Tuesday when a Senate committee considers legislation that in essence would add renouncing terrorism to the list of Iran’s commitments for the United States to honor a final deal.
Nuclear negotiations between Iran and the so-called P5 + 1 reached a long-anticipated breakthrough on April 2nd as negotiators emerged weary-eyed from all-night talks to announce a framework for a final deal.
Yesterday, international negotiators announced the parameters of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA); that is, the framework for an agreement on the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and its sister organization, Council for a Livable World, commend the U.S. and its negotiating partners for this breakthrough on the way to a comprehensive and peaceful resolution to one of the world’s most critical security challenges.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered quite possibly the best campaign speech of his career last Tuesday.
