Iran Negotiations

A diplomacy-driven U.S. approach to Iran can, at minimum, cultivate a far better environment for the Iranian people to push for democratic change in their country.

The regime has rejected 99 percent of reformist candidates standing in next month's elections.

Shah of Iran made same arguments as Islamic government that would eventually replace him.

The vast financial assets unlocked by the Iran nuke deal are being spent by the mullahs—on arms.

Officials on state TV said inspectors from the U.S. will not be allowed to access nuclear facilities, confirming the State Department's predictions.

The Iran deal offers a chance for the West to engage with the countries of the South Caucasus.

The Israeli premier's strident alarmism has failed to offer an alternative that would improve Israel's safety.

The agreement is far from optimal, but one that everyone (except for the poor Syrian people) should be able to live with.

The Iran nuke deal must not lead to dropping our guard against the Russian nuclear threat.

Will the deal change the nature of the Iranian regime? We will find out in ten years—which may be too late.

Despite the deal, Iran will not change its anti-Western foreign policy.

We need to send the message that under a Republican president the deal will not last ten years but 18 months.

In return for lifting U.S., EU and U.N. sanctions, Iran will be subjected to long-term curbs on a nuclear program.

To renege on the agreement would damage the U.S.'s credibility and its future capacity to act.

Iran has hanged more than 650 people already this year and is one of the world's largest prisons for journalists and bloggers.

Is the Iran nuke deal good for America? Would doing nothing be better? What does it mean for Israel?

"The strange inspection arrangement in the agreement will allow the Iranians to lie and cheat."

Technically, yes. Politically, it wouldn't be easy.

Foreign ministers from Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia arrived Sunday to make a push to meet Tuesday's deadline for an Iranian nuclear agreement.

Alongside monitoring trade, the financial sector has a key role to play—if its rules are set right.

Tehran's top nuclear negotiator hopes diplomacy resuming this week will yield results before a self-imposed deadline for a final deal to curtail Iran's atomic program expires at the end of June.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi, Russia, on Tuesday to discuss Ukraine and other issues, the United States said on Monday.

"Look, the president needs to sell this to the American people, and Congress needs to be involved," said Senator Bob Corker.

Convincing Congress to accept the Iran nuclear framework agreement will be a daunting political challenge for Obama.

By playing nice on Iran, Russia hopes to strengthen its hand on Ukraine.

"Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate," Obama said, quoting John F. Kennedy.

Iran has already destroyed its weapons-grade uranium and halted the Arak nuclear plant.

Iran's foreign minister on Thursday suggested that a 10-year freeze on some aspects of the country's nuclear program might be acceptable.

"The prime minister didn't offer any viable alternatives," Obama said.

Kerry said critics of an emerging nuclear deal with Iran did not know what they were talking about.
