Dmitriy Shapiro JNS, Mar. 10, 2022 “Particularly concerning is that the prospective agreement is likely to include significant sanctions relief to Iran and allow it to keep its advanced centrifuges and stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.” Experts with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) think tank in Washington, D.C., agreed this week that information […]
Behnam Ben Taleblu and Saeed Ghasseminejad Iran International, Feb. 20, 2022 “American policymakers should be taking stock of the costs and benefits driving Iranian decision-makers this late in the game.” US officials have deployed an impressive array of metaphors over the past 10 months – from dwindling patience, to a diminishing runway, to a closing window – to describe […]
Laurence Norman WSJ, Mar. 11, 2022 “After weeks of round-the-clock negotiations in Vienna between the U.S., Iran, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the pause significantly raises the prospect that efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal may fail.” The Iran nuclear talks broke off Friday with no agreement, imperiling negotiations that were advancing toward […]
Michael Goodwin NY Post, Mar. 12, 2022 “It starts with a strange, little-known fact: Russia is acting as a go-between for the United States in nuclear talks with Iran.” Some stories make so little sense that all you can do is scratch your head. Others are so infuriating that you want to pull your hair out. […]

Jonathan Vanian and Nick Lichtenberg Fortune, Feb. 24, 2022 “… there are three major ways that the worst military crisis in Europe since World War II is negatively impacting the world economy already.” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is already introducing more uncertainty into a global economy sick of an uncertain future. Indeed, stock markets around the […]
Hyunjoo Jin Reuters, Mar. 7, 2022 “Rising raw material prices certainly have the potential to delay the timeline on cost parity between EV and ICE vehicles, which could hamper the wider adoption of EVs.” Surging raw materials costs, made worse by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, could set back the dream of Tesla (TSLA.O) Chief Executive Elon Musk […]
Joseph Wilson, Samy Magdy, Aya Batrawy and Chinedu Asadu The Christian Science Monitor, Mar. 7, 2022 “If the war is prolonged, countries that rely on affordable wheat exports from Ukraine could face shortages starting in July.” The Russian tanks and missiles besieging Ukraine also are threatening the food supply and livelihoods of people in Europe, Africa and Asia who […]
Guy Faulconbridge and Karin Strohecker Reuters, Mar. 6, 2022 “It could be Russia’s first major debt default in more than a century.” Russia said on Sunday that sovereign bond payments will depend on sanctions imposed by the West over the invasion of Ukraine, raising the spectre of its first major default on foreign bonds since […]

Emanuele Ottolenghi Tablet, Mar. 2, 2022 “The ayatollahs’ Iran aspires to reassert Shiite predominance over the Sunni world, much like Putin’s Russia seeks to resuscitate the czarist empire.” Vladimir Putin has opened the gates of hell by invading Ukraine at the end of his 23-year journey to destroy Europe’s post-Cold War security architecture and reestablish […]
Caroline B. Glick Newsweek, Mar. 7, 2022 “Malley’s capitulation includes delisting Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps from the State Department’s list of Foreign Terror Organizations and ending U.S. sanctions on Iran’s senior terror masters.” For decades, senior Israeli defense officials beat a path to the Pentagon, the State Department, the CIA and the National Security Council with briefcases full […]
Michael Makovsky Jerusalem Post, Mar. 2, 2022 “… it is on the core Israeli security issues – Iran nuclear talks and weapons delivery – that the Bennett-Lapid approach must be judged.” Foreign Minister Yair Lapid told visiting American Jewish leaders last week that his government’s conciliatory policy toward America was paying off. But the reported imminence of […]
Reuel Marc Gerecht Sapir Journal, Vol. 4, Winter 2022 “Future Western sanctions are unlikely to crack the regime. Donald Trump gave it his best shot.” Can the Islamic Republic of Iran — the radical theocratic regime, that is, as opposed to the nation it tyrannizes — fall by the year 2030? That would be a moonshot for the Jewish […]
