nuclear weapons
-
- The framework agreement between Washington and Tehran offers hope Iran's nuclear ambitions can be curbed without war
-
- All nations — including Israel and the U.S. — must rid themselves of nuclear weapons
-
- Mr. Netanyahu wants the U.S. to forgo negotiations in favor of sanctions while Iran continues to build the infrastructure for nuclear weapons. The logical consequence of this chain of events would be war, because Iran would continue to develop its nuclear program unless negotiations prohibit it. Presumably, then, Mr. Netanyahu wants the next step to be a U.S.-led war in Iran
- Our view: the Israeli prime minister did himself and his country no favor by trying to scuttle talks over Iran's disputed nuclear program by making U.S. support for Israel a partisan issue
- Embarrassing debacle of Israeli prime minister's speech should be put to an end
- Extending the negotiations over Iran's disputed nuclear program is better than letting the talks fail or accepting a bad deal that leaves the world less safe
- Neither U.S. activism in the case of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and Iran, nor U.S. inaction in the case of Syria, has yet to bring the results hoped for by the Obama Administration. While U.S. policy in the Middle East has not yet broken down, except, perhaps in the case of Syria; the U.S. remains a long way from the breakthrough in the region that the Obama Administration had hoped for.
- While the tensions and nuclear stare-down with the Soviet Union are over, the specter of nuclear Armageddon remains, requiring continued American vigilance.
- Unfortunately, a group of 59 Senators, including Maryland's Ben Cardin, has introduced and is seeking a vote on a bill (S. 1881) that would impose further sanctions on Iran, reopen the terms of the first phase agreement and impose new and unrealistic restrictions on the comprehensive deal. The bill's authors claim their proposal for additional sanctions supports a diplomatic solution. As President Obama and the 10 Senate Democratic committee chairs have warned, it would not.
- We can't trust Iran, but war is not inevitable
- Iran wins, U.S. loses under terms of negotiated nuclear agreement
-
- Once again, intense negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program have failed to produce a deal, but there remains some reason for optimism after the weekend's high-level negotiations in Geneva.
- Iran's 'peace offensive' in nuclear talks could signal it truly wants better relations with the West, or that it's simply running out the clock in order to build a bomb
- Shippers should have to choose between doing business in Maryland and in Iran
-
- Fewer nuclear weapons makes financial and strategic sense for U.S.
- President Obama's State of the Union address put the issue of nuclear arms control back on the nation's agenda
- The country's young ruler, Kim Jong Un, replays the intimidation and threats of his late father
- The military cuts in the fiscal cliff would encourage Iran to build the bomb.
- I had always wished that my great-grandmother , who lived in Maryland during the Civil War had written some personal notes as to what it was like for her at the time
- Baltimoreans and the world had reasons to be worried 50 Octobers ago when the U.S. and Russia came to the brink of nuclear war over missiles in Cuba.
