Weighing Benefits and Costs of Military Action Against Iran

Founding director Ambassador Edward P. Djerejian is a signatory to a recently released report that aims to offer an objective, nonpartisan analysis of the benefits and costs of using military force against Iran. The signatories -- former officials of the U.S. government and professionals in U.S. national security -- believe the report remains consistent with U.S. policy to maintain pressure Iran while holding open the possibility of reaching a political solution, without ruling out the use of military force. The report is published by The Iran Project, a nongovernmental organization that seeks to improve official contacts between the United States and Iranian governments.
