| Summary |
President Barack Obama faces a relatively short timeframe in which to peacefully address the most significant near-term foreign policy and security challenge for his second term. Due to Iran's persistent nuclear advances, Obama's repeated pledge that the United States would stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons could well be tested in the coming months, requiring intensified diplomatic engagement and careful calculation of the repercussions (regionally and globally) of a military response. Iran's growing stockpile of enriched uranium and its expanding capacity to produce higher levels of this potential bomb fuel require urgent attention. However, US policymakers must consider not only the short-term goal of suspending or delaying Iran's apparent pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability but also the longer-term objective of curtailing Iran's other worrisome activities in the region while encouraging a better relationship with the citizens of a pivotal state. For too long, US policy toward Iran has been mostly about tactics and too little about strategy. It is time to play chess, not checkers |
