Nuclear proliferation and the actions of nuclear rogue states, in particular Iran and North Korea, continue to pose some of the toughest challenges facing U.S. policymakers. Iran is adding to its stock of enriched uranium and expanding its enrichment capability in the new Fardo underground facility. Additionally, the dialogue between Tehran and the United Nations Security Council Permanent Five plus Germany (the P5+1) remains stalemated, and Israeli leaders suggest the time for military action against Iran’s nuclear program is nearing. Meanwhile, senior U.S. and North Korean nuclear negotiators will soon meet to resume discussions halted by the death of Kim Jong Il, but Pyongyang's uranium enrichment activities continue to persist without interruption or any monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
After the program, panelists will take audience questions.
