Ambassador Eric Edelman, General Charles Wald, USAF (ret.), VADM John Bird et al JINSA, July 11, 2022 “The president should reaffirm and update the 1980 Carter Doctrine with a “Biden Doctrine” that explicitly reasserts vital U.S. interests in preventing regional domination by any power – including preventing a nuclear Iran – and that any such […]
