Meeting the Challenge: U.S. Policy Toward Iranian Nuclear Development

A Task Force sponsored by NSP released a report identifying the regional and global threats posed by a nuclear weapons-capable Iran and recommended a new, robust and comprehensive strategy designed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability.

The report is the product of a high-level bipartisan Task Force led by former Senators Daniel Coats and Charles Robb. The report offers a blueprint for establishing an effective U.S. strategy toward Iran’s nuclear development and also offers a comprehensive source of information for policymakers, the public and the next President.

The Task Force believes the current U.S. policy is failing and it presents a new approach “incorporating new diplomatic, economic and military tools in an integrated fashion” that can deter Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons-capability.
