Question of the Week: How Should the P-5+1 Engage Iran Regarding Its Nuclear Program?

On October 1, members of the P-5+1 met with the Iranian delegation in Geneva, where they held a series of discussions. Iran has refused to talk about its nuclear program since July of 2008. These discussions marked the first time the U.S. engaged Iran in the P-5+1 as a full participant. Three themes emerged: the unity of the P5+1 group, the focus on the nuclear issue, and the beginning of an intensive diplomatic process that we hope will lead to Iran allowing the international community to verify that Iran's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

How should the P-5+1 engage Iran regarding its nuclear program?

More than one billion people — one sixth of the world's population — suffer from chronic hunger. Without enough food, adults struggle to work and children struggle to learn. Global food supplies must increase by an estimated 50 percent to meet expected demand in the next 20 years. Advancing sustainable agricultural-led growth increases the availability of food, keeps food affordable, and raises the incomes of the poor. The U.S. is committed to working as part of a collaborative global effort centered around country-led processes to improve food security.

The President said, “The basic bargain (of the NPT) is sound: countries with nuclear weapons will move towards disarmament, countries without nuclear weapons will not acquire them, and all countries can access peaceful nuclear energy."

How can the international community strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation regime?
