U.S. officials believe that these sanctions caused Iran to return to the nuclear bargaining table in April 2012 with greater seriousness and intent toward peaceful resolution. Despite the imposition of what many now consider to be "crippling" sanctions, some in Congress believe that economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran needs to increase further and faster. In the 112th Congress, legislation would enhance both the economic sanctions and human rights-related provisions of a previous Iran sanctions laws However, movement on new sanctions might be on hold pending the outcome of a second round of nuclear talks slated for May 23 in Baghdad.</p>Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights2012-07-03T07:51:21-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87377/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87377/"><img alt="Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights" title="Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87377/small/"/></a></p><p>This report discusses the situation immediately following the completion of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq on December 18, 2011, when relations among major political factions worsened substantially, threatening Iraq's stability and the legacy of the U.S. intervention in Iraq.

The international coalition that is imposing progressively strict economic sanctions on Iran is broadening and deepening, with increasingly significant effect on Iran's economy. U.S. officials believe that these sanctions might yet cause Iran to return to the nuclear bargaining table with greater seriousness and intent toward peaceful resolution.

This report analyzes key factors that may influence current Israeli political decisions relating to a possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. For Congress, the potential impact-short- and long-term-of an Israeli decision regarding Iran and its implementation is a critical issue of concern. By all accounts, such an attack could have considerable regional and global security, political, and economic repercussions, not least for the United States, Israel, and their bilateral relationship. This report has many aspects that are the subject of vigorous debate and remain fully or partially outside public knowledge.</p>Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses2012-04-27T15:49:45-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc84038/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc84038/"><img alt="Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses" title="Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc84038/small/"/></a></p><p>The issue of Iran and its nuclear program has emerged as a top priority for the Obama Administration. The United States also sees a threat to U.S. interests posed by Iran's support for militant groups in the Middle East and in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tensions have been particularly elevated since Iran's late-December 2011 threat to try to choke off much of the world's oil supplies -a reaction to the imposition of significant sanctions against Iran's vital exports of oil. The heightened tensions follow three years in which the Obama Administration has assembled a broad international coalition to pressure Iran through economic sanctions while also offering sustained engagement with Iran if it verifiably assures the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful. The Administration uses indicators such as Iran's economic deterioration and its willingness to engage in new talks as evidence that policy is starting to work and should be given more time before any consideration of U.S. or other country military options. The Administration also perceives that the legitimacy and popularity of Iran's regime is in decline, although not to the point where the regime's grip on power is threatened. Over the past two years, the United States has increased public criticism of Iran's human rights record, an effort broadly supported in the international community.</p>Iran Sanctions2012-06-06T14:34:05-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc85483/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc85483/"><img alt="Iran Sanctions" title="Iran Sanctions" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc85483/small/"/></a></p><p>This report focuses on the United States' relationship with Iran and how the Obama Administration is handling prior administration's economic sanctions against Iran. The Obama Administration's policy approach toward Iran has contrasted with the Bush Administration's by attempting to couple the imposition of sanctions to an active and direct U.S. effort to negotiate with Iran on the nuclear issue. That approach was not initially altered because of the Iranian dispute over its June 12, 2009, elections. However, with subsequent negotiations yielding no firm Iranian agreement to compromise, since early 2010 the Administration has focused on achieving the imposition of additional U.N., U.S., and allied country sanctions whose cumulative effect would be to compel it to accept a nuclear bargain.</p>Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights2012-07-03T07:51:21-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87378/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87378/"><img alt="Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights" title="Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87378/small/"/></a></p><p>This report discusses the situation immediately following the completion of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq on December 18, 2011, when relations among major political factions worsened substantially, threatening Iraq's stability and the legacy of the U.S. intervention in Iraq.

The Obama Administration's policy approach toward Iran has contrasted with the Bush Administration's by attempting to couple the imposition of sanctions to an active and direct U.S. effort to negotiate with Iran on the nuclear issue. That approach was not initially altered because of the Iranian dispute over its June 12, 2009, elections. However, with subsequent negotiations yielding no firm Iranian agreement to compromise, since early 2010 the Administration has focused on achieving the imposition of additional U.N., U.S., and allied country sanctions whose cumulative effect would be to compel it to accept a nuclear bargain.</p>Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses2012-07-03T07:51:21-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87268/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87268/"><img alt="Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses" title="Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87268/small/"/></a></p><p>The Obama Administration identifies Iran as a major threat to U.S. national security interests.
