Fiscal Year(s): 2014-2015Objective:
Iran’s nuclear weapons program has the potential to undermine the
existing but fragile nonproliferation regime while also posing a
hurdle to an improved U.S.-India strategic partnership. To
overcome these challenges, India could utilize its historic relations
with Iran to curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions. This alternative
approach could ease India’s accommodation into the
nonproliferation regime, moderate multilateral and unilateral
sanctions, and prevent countries from resorting to military options.PASC
