Articles & Testimony
In the Summer 2013 issue of International Security, Washington Institute managing director Michael Singh participated in a debate regarding the future of nuclear talks with Iran. In the previous issue, he and Harvard professor James Sebenius had contributed the article "Is a Nuclear Deal with Iran Possible? An Analytical Framework," which provided an in-depth look at how the United States could use pressure and inducements to convince Iran's leaders that negotiating a deal is their best option. Paul Pillar, a senior fellow with Georgetown's Center for Security Studies and the Brookings Institution, disagreed with some of their points in the Summer 2013 issue, however, arguing that their assumptions about Iranian objectives and U.S. interests are mistaken. Singh and Sebenius responded, and Belfer Center research fellow Robert Reardon joined the discussion as well.
