“The steady progress made by North Korea on its nuclear and missile programs is deeply concerning. The US cannot solve this problem alone. However, in order to take steps that could fundamentally affect the North Korean leadership and its decision-making, we need to work even more closely with our allies in the region who feel this threat acutely. I would urge China, in particular, to intensify its leadership role in helping to solve this crisis.” HelpingProblemProgressProgramCrisisThreatSteadyNorth KoreaKoreanNorth Korean Author:Sam Nunn
“The Iranians know that if they develop nuclear weapons, they will be in tremendous jeopardy from military capabilities of their neighbors and of the United States. I am not predicting what will happen in 2013, but I do think it is a crucial year. I hope we can make it clear to the Iranians that we do not object to them having peaceful use of nuclear power. But when they enrich Uranium to a 20 percent level, people think they are going for the bomb. Their uranium enrichment program is a real danger.” PeopleThinkingRealMilitaryDangerProgramNeighborPeacefulCapabilityNuclear WeaponsNuclear PowerEnrichmentUranium Author:Sam Nunn
