Confronting the Challenge of Iran


[Washington Institute for Near East Policy] Mario Mancuso - U.S. Undersecretary of Commerce Mario Mancuso addressed The Washington Institute on July 22, 2008: "Tehran's reckless pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery has raised alarms in capitals around the world....Today, the U.S. approach includes energetic diplomacy, targeted financial, export control, and other economic measures, and a vigorous counter-proliferation posture. And, of course, as a last, reluctant resort, the military option still remains on the table." "As President Bush remarked before the Israeli Knesset earlier this year, 'For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.' The United States remains committed to seeking a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the comprehensive threat posed by Iran....It is our urgent work to facilitate, in a timely fashion, a responsible decision by Iran."
