Surprise! Misinfo from @SenTedCruz on benefits of restoring 2015 #IranDeal Yes, the admin. has an assessment, which finds there ARE significant benefits, namely increasing time it would take Iran to produce an SQ of fissile material from 2 wks today to approx. 9 mnths. 1/
@SenTedCruz In addition, restoring compliance with JCPOA would ensure enhanced IAEA inspections, which are essential to provide early warning in the event Iran tries to evade the JCPOA restrictions or violate its safeguards obligations. 2/
@SenTedCruz Trump's decision to exit JCPOA in 2018 not only failed to produce the promised results; it opened the way for Iran to take steps breach the JCPOA’s nuclear limits and accelerate its capacity to produce bomb-grade nuclear material. Pursuing the same failed strategy is lunacy. 3/
@SenTedCruz Those in Congress like @SenTedCruz who are trying to prevent Biden and our European allies from bringing Iran back under the nuclear limits set by the JCPOA are aiding and abetting the expansion of Iran's nuclear program and are undermining U.S. nonproliferation efforts. 4/4

Let's get real Anatoly #Antonov @RusEmbUSA It is @KremlinRussia_E who has issued threats of nuclear weapons use and started a war that raises the risk of nuclear annihilation. Russia cannot have it both ways and claim to be a "responsible" nuclear actor when it is clearly not. 1/
@RusEmbUSA @KremlinRussia_E It is #Putin who has issued nuclear threats to shield Russia's aggression against a nonnuclear, democratic, independent state, raised the alert levels of Russian forces, overseen an ICBM flight tests, and authorized Russian state TV to air simulations of attacks on Europe. 2/ Image
@RusEmbUSA @KremlinRussia_E Fortunately, and so far, Biden and NATO have not matched Russia's nuclear taunts and have taken the threats seriously and have made it clear they do not want U.S. and NATO forces involved in the conflict in Ukraine, but will act to help Ukraine defend its people and territory. 3/

Nuclear arms control is a serious business that requires serious ideas and serious diplomacy. Unfortunately @USArmsControl continues to demonstrate that @realDonaldTrump is unserious and lacks a real arms control strategy. Some comments 1/
@USArmsControl @realDonaldTrump First, it should be noted that China’s position has not changed even if Team Trump wants to say it is shifting regarding talks on things nuclear. What @FuCong17 said on July 7 is nearly identical to what China MFA said March 6 fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_6… 2/
@USArmsControl @realDonaldTrump @FuCong17 Unfortunately, U.S. officials and Chinese officials are talking past one another. Rather than use existing P5 format for engage in necessary discussions on strategic stability and nuclear arms control, U.S. officials continue to insist on separate trilateral talks w/Russia. 3/

What to make of Trump's support for Putin's proposal for summit of the leaders of Perm 5 members of the UNSC on n-arms control and security issues? What does this mean for #NewSTART, #NPT, and further action on disarmament? Some background & analysis. 1/
A P5 leaders summit on nuclear weapons is a potentially important development. There hasn't been such a mtg since Sept. 2009 when Obama convened UNSC for Resolution 1887. See armscontrol.org/pressroom/2009… This time around real progress is going to be difficult. Some background ... 2/
its important to note that the P5 heads of state summit idea is not a Trump initiative; the WH is responding to an invitation from President Putin sent to the leaders of the P5 members of the UNSC in late-January. Putin spoke about his concept in a speech a few days earlier. 3/
