The US arms control and disarmament community aims to reduce the significance of nuclear weapons in global affairs. Calls for a plan to achieve this goal are made by experts. Washington urged to prioritize preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed state, with a focus on diplomatic and economic efforts. Iran is enhancing its nuclear capabilities as a deterrent against sanctions and external pressure. The US is urged to take action to reduce Tehran's nuclear capabilities and prevent it from producing nuclear weapons. Iran is using regional tensions with Israel to divert attention from its nuclear enrichment activities. Suggestions are made to focus on alternative warfighting concepts to control hypersonic arms rather than regulating the weapons directly. Efforts are emphasized to manage Iran's threats while preventing it from crossing the nuclear threshold and to negotiate a deal to roll back Iran's nuclear program.

“Washington should make Iran a priority and bring U.S. diplomatic and economic might to bear, to prevent the catastrophe of Iran as a permanent threshold state—or one armed with nuclear weapons.” https://t.co/kN5IvBhbIS
"The US arms control and disarmament community is united in the overarching goal of reducing the salience of nuclear weapons in international relations." What the community needs is a plan, writes one nuclear expert. https://t.co/r5RdsLCwkz
