There is a common misperception that those of us who opposed the Iran nuclear deal are simply opposed to diplomacy with Iran. Nothing could be further from the truth. In more than 25 years in Congress, we have consistently supported diplomacy backed by sanctions, with the objective of ending Iran’s dangerous nuclear plans and curbing its regional aggression.

The Countdown to an Israeli War with Iran Has Begun by John Hannah, Foreign Policy, May 6, 2021
If Biden returns to the Iran nuclear deal, don’t be surprised if Israel takes matters into its own hands. Reaching the conclusion that their best ally, the United States, has chosen a course the Israelis fervently believe will end up increasing that threat rather than containing it will only confirm their view that Israel is on its own when it comes to stopping Iran’s march to the bomb—and that its operational planning to act military to defeat it must be accelerated.

Iranian Aggression Despite U.S. Retaliation by Blaise Misztal and Ari Cicurel, Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), March 5, 2021
Aggression by Iran and its regional proxies continues to escalate along multiple lines of effort with a March 3, 2021 attack on U.S. forces at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq and several alleged attacks against Israel and Saudi Arabia. The Biden Administration’s efforts to engage Tehran diplomatically while deterring it through a discrete, unilateral, and pin-prick military response in Syria on February 25 has not succeeded. Iran will likely continue its comprehensive regional counterpressure strategy of nuclear and military escalation so long as it believes it will be effective in achieving U.S. economic and geopolitical concessions. To establish deterrence, Washington should work with its regional partners to hold Iran accountable for its continued aggression against U.S. interests, using all elements of power, including covert action and debilitating military strikes. This policy memo from JINSA staff provides details and context of the airstrike in Syria, background on Iranian-backed aggression against Americans in Iraq, and policy recommendations for U.S. officials.

No Going Back Now: The Case Against Returning to the JCPOA, Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), March 3, 2021
Iran has violated the agreement not just by exceeding the deal’s limits on its nuclear program but by expanding that program in ways unforeseen by the agreement, such as constructing new facilities and operating advanced centrifuges. It has also become clearer how Tehran never fully complied with the JCPOA’s terms in the first place and has been acting in bad faith ever since. Meanwhile the United States has cast a much more comprehensive sanctions net over Iran than in 2015.
Thus, simply abiding by the letter of the JCPOA would leave Iran with too advanced a nuclear program for the United States to accept, and too many economic constraints for Tehran to abide. This creates the possibility of an untenable “more for less” interim outcome in which the United States tries to get back to the original nuclear agreement by giving up too many sanctions, in exchange for too few nuclear concessions from Tehran. In this light, the first step in realizing the Biden’s Administration’s oft-stated desire to pursue a more comprehensive agreement should be to recognize there is no returning to the JCPOA.

A Return to the Nuclear Deal: Washington and Tehran Sharpen Positions by Sima Shine and Eldad Shavit, The Institute for National Security Studies, INSS Insight No. 1431, February 1, 2021
With Biden’s entry into the White House, the JCPOA resumes a central position on the international agenda. However, Washington’s road to return to the nuclear deal is a long one, and in the meantime, each side has made its demands and conditions public. What are the implications of these declarations? Where might there be room for compromise – and where is there none at all?

As the deadline approaches for a comprehensive agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, JINSA’s Gemunder Center Iran Task Force issues a new brief describing the necessary elements of a verification and monitoring regime that would ensure a final deal would close off Iran’s pathways to nuclear weapons capability.
Verifying a Final Nuclear Deal with Iran by Olli Heinonen, Iran Task Force, June 2015
Unfettered access to sites, facilities, material, equipment, people, and documents is imperative to the credible long-term verification of any nuclear agreement with Iran. This “anywhere, anytime” access and short notice inspections must not be subject to a dispute resolution mechanism, which would delay the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) access. Procedures in a final deal, which provide Iran with the ability to define or control access, undermine the verifiability of the agreement and affect the IAEA’s ability to reach timely conclusions. Additionally, the resolution of the IAEA’s outstanding concerns regarding the possible military dimensions of Iran’s program must be resolved prior to the provision of substantial sanctions relief.

Good Arguments All, But Not Good Enough by Evelyn Gordon, The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, December 2, 2011
Israel would prefer not to attack Iran: It would rather see Tehran’s nuclear program halted by crippling sanctions, regime change or covert action, and if all these fail, it would prefer military action by an American-led coalition. Nevertheless, if Israel concluded that all other efforts had failed, and that international military action wasn’t in the cards, none of the arguments opponents have raised against an Israeli strike are likely to deter it.

Different Voices, Common Conclusion: Iran is a Threat, The American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC], December 18, 2007
“Top foreign leaders, Democratic and Republican national security experts, and leading editorialists have responded to the recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran with the conclusion that Iran remains a threat that must be thwarted. As Iran continues to advance its uranium enrichment capabilities in defiance of the U.N. Security Council resolutions, it is clear that sanctions must be stepped up to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.”
Misreading the Iran Report: Why Spying and Policymaking Don’t Mix by Henry A. Kissinger, Washington Post, December 13, 2007
“The NIE holds that Iran may be able to produce enough highly enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon by the end of 2009 and, with increasing confidence, more warheads by the period 2010 to 2015. That is virtually the same timeline as was suggested in the 2005 National Intelligence Estimate. ….It is therefore doubtful that the evidence supports the dramatic language of the summary and, even less so, the broad conclusions drawn in much of the public commentary.”
American Intelligence by Claude Moniquet, The Wall Street Journal, December 13, 2007:
“U.S. intelligence services have so far failed to predict the nuclearization of a single foreign nation. …. [T]he NIE has little in common with intelligence as it is understood by professionals. Instead, Langley & Co. seem to have decided to carry out their own foreign policy.”
Losing Weight in the Gulf by Thomas L. Friedman New York Times, December 12, 2007:
