Some Useful Links on the Iran Nuclear Agreement The Iran Nuclear Agreement represents a real breakthrough for diplomacy. This is, by far, the most effective non-proliferation regime to date. Those who oppose it offer no viable alternative and implicitly wish to take our nation down the road to war, which would be an unmitigated disaster. We encourage you to learn more about the agreement and to make your voice heard.
