Restoring the JCPOA would not resolve the underlying issue of Iran’s past nuclear weapons work. It would, however, prevent Iran from being able to dash for a weapon now.

Israel’s attacks on Iran changed everything — or did they? @MarkTFitz @IISS_org

@bbcpersian always asks me good questions.

[BBC NEWS فارسی @bbcpersian]

آژانس بین‌المللی انرژی اتمی: ایران می‌تواند ظرف چند ماه غنی‌سازی اورانیوم را از سر بگیرد. آیا ایران هنوز یک تهدید هسته‌ای است؟

In dark moments like these, I am reminded of Mike Elleman, a colleague at @IISS_org who passed away way too soon.

Mike was the greatest missile expert, and he taught me (a complete amateur in defence matters) a lot about missiles, missile defence and UAVs. Mike was much more than this, a nice man with the biggest heart ever. He would be studying tonight's attacks with "a cool head and a warm heart", able to analyse and explain complex technical matters in simple ways all while remembering the people suffering in the war. We miss you, Mike.

@AEI @dpletka Factual mistake: enriching to 60% is condemnable, but it's not an NPT violation, and the embedded URL doesn't say it it.

@russianforces Yes, thanks.

And anyone who claims the release of frozen Iranian assets abetted the attack is propagandizing.

[Mark Fitzpatrick @MarkTFitz]

Thank goodness the USG got @sianamazi and four other Amcit hostages out of Iran before the Hamas attack put diplomacy out of reach.

#Iran's future will be decided by its people and only its people.

Kudos to brave Iranians who carry the torch on the ground, despite efforts by others to hijack their struggle.

I've tried to keep an open mind about this story but this rebuttal and the others I've read are far far more persuasive the accusations themselves.

[David Santoro @DavidSantoro1]

I don’t focus much on Iran in my work but Dina was a colleague when I worked at the IISS in London. The attacks against her are ridiculous. She’s a great analyst. Disagreeing with her conclusions or recommendations is fine. Questioning her integrity or spreading falsehoods isn’t.
