United States Policy toward Iran: a Dossier

President Obama released a special video message for all those celebrating Nowruz. Translated "New Day," Nowruz marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of the New Year for millions in Iran and other communities around the world. This year, the President wanted to send a special message to the people and government of Iran on Nowruz, acknowledging the strain in our relations over the last few decades. "But at this holiday we are reminded of the common humanity that binds us together," he says.

Key U.S. Policy Priorities

Clinton: Concern over Iran Should Be Addressed with "One Voice" (2010-02-25)   The international community has "little choice" but to impose higher costs on Iran due to its provocative actions related to its nuclear program, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton tells congressional panels, adding that the Iranian leadership’s failure to respond to U.S. engagement efforts have helped to build international consensus in support of economic sanctions that some countries might have opposed otherwise.

The secretary told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that President Obama had offered Iranian leaders "the opportunity to engage in a serious way," and described it as "a necessary and important step" that was taken despite some domestic political criticism. However, Iran has failed to respond "in a serious manner," and since the initial U.S. offer of engagement there has been the revelation of a new nuclear facility at Qom, Iran's decision to attempt uranium enrichment to a higher percentage, and the International Atomic Energy Agency's February 18 report that Iran may be trying to design a nuclear-armed missile.
