OPINION: After Ukraine invasion, U.S. should walk away from nuclear talks with Iran
’s cruel invasion of Ukraine has upended the global order. President Vladimir Putin’s war crimes make him an international pariah alongside the world’s worst autocrats like Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.
In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Biden rightly proclaimed"throughout our history, we’ve learned this lesson: When dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos; they keep moving." Any new nuclear agreement recommended to the U.S. by, among others, Russia is inherently untrustworthy.
To start the nuclear talks in Vienna, the U.S. accepted a demeaning demand from Iran that its representatives would not sit in the same room with representatives of the U.S. government. While the Europeans serve as intermediaries to bring the latest Iranian proposals to the American delegation, Russia and China are playing leading roles in bridging gaps as U.S. delegates wait at another hotel.
How can we put our trust in the leaders of a country like Iran that continues to attack our allies in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as well as American military installations in the region, threatens Israel with nuclear obliteration, and enriches uranium and builds missiles in violation of the previous nuclear agreement?
