Managing the Dangers of Iran’s Remaining Nuclear Capabilities

U.S. President Donald Trump’s April 1 address to the nation on the war on Iran offered a torrent of lies and no solutions. Far from freeing the United States from “the specter of nuclear blackmail,” it appears that this war will leave a greatly weakened but embittered and harder-lined Iranian regime that is more determined than ever to build a nuclear deterrent. Although on-again, off-again talks are still underway, as of late April, Iran still retains much of the material and equipment needed to do so. That includes enough weapons-usable highly enriched uranium (HEU) for more than 10 nuclear bombs.
