Thomas Donnelly, Danielle Pletka, and Maseh Zarif of the American Enterprise Institute have an important (and timely!) report on Iran, titled “Containing and Deterring a Nuclear Iran: Questions for Strategy, Requirements for Military Forces.”

“The report is very much an acknowledgment of the very real possibility of failure of the strategy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and any responsible party should recognize that failure is an option. There’s been a huge disservice done by all who have spent their lives in denial of that possibility,” Pletka reportedly told Josh Rogin. “Whenever you devise a strategy for what happens before a country gets a nuclear weapon, you should have a strategy for what happens after they get one as well.”
