A Task Force sponsored by the National Security Initiative released a report 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, and including Ambassador Dennis Ross and Steve Rademaker, three retired four-star generals and admirals, and other experts in nuclear proliferation and energy markets. 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 realistic, robust, and comprehensive approach “incorporating new diplomatic, economic and military tools in an integrated fashion” that can deter Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons-capability.
