IAEA DG @rafaelmgrossi has recommended the Board of Govs to authorize him to carry out the bilateral safeguards for the flawed U.S.-Saudi n-cooperation deal, which does NOT require the Addtl. Protocol and creates a pathway for transfer of enrichment. See ow.ly/TaCu5104HIt

War on Iran is not the answer. Competent, commonsense diplomacy is. Congress must do more than complain, it must act.
Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election. Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.
