Colin Kahl's feisty new report on how the U.S. might contain a nuclear-armed Iran

Colin Kahl's new report on containing a nuclear Iran (done with a couple of his homies) is
long, but worth it. I was asked to suggest cuts to a draft and honestly
couldn't find any. It is the best thing I have read about Iran policy in a long
time.

The problem is
that much what he is recommending for containment is expensive stuff like
forward-deployed missile defenses and conventional forces, and defense budgets
are going in the other direction. He also wants us to get more involved in
Syria and in attacking Iranian networks of "covert operatives, surrogates and
proxies" across the region.
