Why The Iran Sanctions Fight Is A Big Deal

Jeremy Diamond, Jan. 26, 2015, CNN

If talks fall apart, the U.S. and the international community would lose the access it's gained to monitor most of Iran's nuclear facilities and Iran would no longer be constrained to a uranium enrichment threshold, as it has under the terms of the current negotiations.

That's why many argue that even if negotiations don't result in a deal, the status quo is better than the alternative. Failed talks would send Iran's nuclear program underground, so to speak, and sound alarm bells in Israel, the U.S. and other Western countries.

Rory Carroll, Nov. 29, 2010, The Guardian

Clinton's preoccupation may stem partly from the fact that Kirchner's career has mirrored her own: both are lawyers and tough political operators whose husbands became president and campaigned for their wives to inherit the sash after they left office.
