Welcoming this morning’s statement on Iran by Secretary Rice, Carnegie President Jessica Tuchman Mathews said:
“This is an important step, which should be welcomed by the entire world, including Iran. The new policy advances both U.S. and global security interests by responding in a calm and sensible way to Iran's invitation to dialogue. A negotiated solution is the way forward and the Iranians must stop their enrichment and reprocessing activities for talks to proceed. It makes no sense to talk while they build. Now the onus is on the Iranian regime to respond in a similarly constructive manner.”

French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled his country’s new nuclear doctrine. Are the changes he has made enough to reassure France’s European partners in the current geopolitical context?
Rym Momtaz, ed.
The drone strike on the British air base in Akrotiri brings Europe’s proximity to the conflict in Iran into sharp relief. In the fog of war, old tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean risk being reignited, and regional stakeholders must avoid escalation.
Marc Pierini
European reactions to the war in Iran have lost sight of wider political dynamics. The EU must position itself for the next phase of the crisis without giving up on its principles.
Richard Youngs
For years, the United States anchored global cyber diplomacy. As Washington rethinks its leadership role, the launch of the UN’s Cyber Global Mechanism may test how allies adjust their engagement.
Patryk Pawlak, Chris Painter
Europe’s reaction to the war in Iran has been disunited and meek, a far cry from its previously leading role in diplomacy with Tehran. To avoid being condemned to the sidelines while escalation continues, Brussels needs to stand up for international law.
