As Obama’s September deadline for Iran's compliance on nuclear proliferation approaches, the IAEA releases a progress report this week. ++ “Tehran is not looking forward to this prospect, which will likely worsen internal fissures in the government made worse by the contested presidential elections in June.” ++ The US must therefore tread carefully using persuasion and not coercion to bring Iran back inside the orbit of the NPT. ++ Otherwise, “the greater the threat against Iran, the greater the chance it will tread the path of proliferation.”
