The US-Iran MOU commits both sides to "maintain the status quo" of Iran's nuclear program, but that baseline does not exist. In @lawfare, I break down what reconstructing it will take and propose 3 provisions negotiators should prioritize in a future deal: lawfaremedia.org/article/rec…
TOMORROW I Tune-in for @CSISDefense's Global Security Forum exploring America at 250 - a defining moment for American statecraft and military power - through expert panel discussions with government, industry, and finance leaders.

Scoville Fellow '25 Elena Tiedens @csisponi attended the 2026 NPT Review Conference, where she got to hear from international delegates about the state of the global nuclear order.

This year's NPT Review Conference risks producing a hollow consensus on disarmament, in part because China has learned to leverage the treaty's multilateral dynamics to avoid nuclear accountability, writes @diyaashtakala of @csisponi.

The recently announced FY27 $1.5 trillion topline for DOW could provide meaningful funding increases for nuclear modernization and munitions resupply. Is it enough as the U.S. races to catch up?
Today, CSIS announces retired Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, the 19th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been named our next CEO, succeeding John Hamre, who announced last year that he will retire after 26 years of transformational leadership.

As New START expired, @heatherwilly argued that while Putin has offered to continue observing treaty limits without verification, she's not convinced the offer is genuine.
In a recent HTK with @tomkarako and Kari Bingen, she noted Moscow’s track record should create skepticism.
“The end of New START is a moment for reflection on all the treaty achieved and how the strategic landscape has changed since 2010; but it should also be a cue for new thinking on arms control,” writes @csisponi expert @heatherwilly.

3 Truths about the end of New START: it's not an arms race, the US doesn't need a massive buildup, and it's not the end of arms control. What does it mean for strategic competition? More here 👇 @CSIS @csisponi @CSISDefense

The expiration of New START does not necessarily foretell an arms race or a massive U.S. nuclear buildup, writes @csisponi expert @heatherwilly. Instead, the expiration of the treaty may be an opportunity for a new era of arms control.

How will U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals evolve after Feb. 5? What comes next for arms control post-New START?

Excited to share my latest analysis with @soraywang! We assess China and Russia's reactions to Golden Dome, and argue that both adversaries are likely to double down on asymmetric countermeasures.

"Chinese & Russian analysts contend that Golden Dome is emblematic of the U.S.'s continued destabilizing pursuit of strategic advantage, but also poses an elevated threat to second-strike survivability."
