In 2023, Washington Can’t Neglect Iran
Strategic neglect in America’s Iran policy will lead to far worse results as the regime murders innocents at home, assists Russia’s slaughter of Ukrainians abroad, and marches toward nuclear weapons.

In 2023, Washington Can’t Neglect Iran
Strategic neglect in America’s Iran policy will lead to far worse results as the regime murders innocents at home, assists Russia’s slaughter of Ukrainians abroad, and marches toward nuclear weapons.
The Oslo-based nonprofit Iran Human Rights warned this week that the Islamic Republic is poised to execute up to 100 Iranians for protesting against the regime. Meanwhile, Iran’s illicit nuclear activities continue apace, moving Tehran closer to a bomb. Despite these developments, the Biden administration’s Iran policy still amounts to one of strategic neglect. A hands-off approach with Tehran today will only demand President Joe Biden’s attention later, and at a much greater cost—potentially including military confrontation.
