    USAF Center for Unconventional Weapons Studies (CUWS) Outreach Journal CUWS Outreach Journal 1190 6 November 2015 Feature Item: “Nuclear Nonproliferation: NNSA’s Threat Assessment Process Could Be Improved”. Report to Congressional Committees: prepared and published by the Government Accounting Office (GAO); released 31 October 2015; 40 pages. http://www.gao.gov/assets/680/673470.pdf The threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear and radiological weapons remains one of the most pressing U.S. national security challenges, and these threats are evolving. Information produced by the “Over the Horizon” (OTH) initiative about future proliferation threats is intended to support long-term Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN) planning and other DNN management decisions. The Joint Explanatory Statement Accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 includes a provision for GAO to assess the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA’s) nuclear nonproliferation programs. This report (1) describes how NNSA assessed potential proliferation threats through its OTH initiative and assesses the limitations, if any, in the process used by the initiative and (2) examines the extent to which NNSA used information about the potential threats assessed through the OTH initiative in DNN organization and planning decisions. GAO analyzed NNSA documentation on the OTH initiative and NNSA planning documents. GAO also interviewed DOE and NNSA officials, DOE national laboratory representatives, and external subject matter experts and external validators in peer review groups involved in OTH activities.

  • Monthly Economic & Commercial
    Embassy of India Tehran *** No.TEH/COM/201/1/2016 10th February, 2016 ECONOMIC AND COMMERCIAL REPORT January 2016 Iran: 1.1 Iranian Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian announced that a number of electricity generation projects, worth €28 billion, are planned to be offered to foreign investors. New power plants will add 47,000 to 50,000 megawatts (MV) to Iran’s current electricity generation capacity in the course of ten years. To meet the ten-year target $5 billion of investment per year will be required in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Iranian Deputy Energy Minister Houshang Falahatian announced that contracts to set up solar and wind power plants, generating 1000 megawatts of electricity, will be concluded by March 19, 2016 which marks the end of current Iranian calendar year. The Iranian Energy Ministry offers incentives to companies that will make investment in the generation of electricity from clean energy resources in the country. The incentive, which is the long-term purchase of the generated electricity, is granted to both Iranian and foreign companies. 1.2 Seyed Mohsen Qamsari, the director for international affairs at the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) elaborated on Iran’s plans of selling oil in post-sanctions era. Main strategies of Iran to boost oil exports are finding new customers, resuming negotiations with old customers and buying refineries abroad. Iran has repeatedly announced to raise oil output by 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) post sanctions, and another 500,000 bpd shortly after that. As crude market is oversupplied by 2.5 million to 3 million bpd, prices may be further affected by Iran’s plan to add more oil in the market.

  • Spotlight on Iran
    Spotlight on Iran October 3, 2013—Mehr 11, 1392 Editor: Dr. Raz Zimmt “Haqqani” and “Alavi”: hotbeds for the growth and development of Iranian leaders In August 2013 the Iranian president presented his new government, which is largely comprised of technocrats with an extensive academic education. One of Rowhani’s government’s distinctive characteristics is the prominent presence of graduates of “Alavi” high school and “Haqqani” religious seminary. Ever since the Islamic revolution of 1979, these two educational institutions have been considered a “hotbed” for the growth and development of high ranking officials in the upper echelons of the Iranian regime, who maintain their relations and form a network of allies within the government’s various branches. The political influence of the graduates of “Haqqani” religious seminary (established in Qom in 1964), many of whom are identified with the Iranian politics’ radical right, reached its peak during President Ahmadinejad’s first government. This can be partly attributed to the close relations between the former president and the senior conservative cleric Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi, who was one of the founders of the religious seminary. Rowhani’s government features two “Haqqani” graduates: Minister of Justice Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi and Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Ali Jannati. These two ministers first met as undergraduates in the religious seminary. Graduates of the “Alavi” high school (established in Tehran in 1955), which combined high-level general studies with religious studies, were also integrated into the Islamic republic’s political and administrative elite. The current government includes several graduates of the school: the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif; the Minister of Industry and Mines, Mohammad-Reza Nematzadeh; and the chief of staff of the president of Iran, Mohammad Nahavandian.

Annette Maennel Innenpolitik 2 Kultur 10 Wirtschaft 12 Außenpolitik 17 Mit der Wahl Hassan Rohanis zum iranischen Präsidenten und dessen Amtsantritt am 3. August 2013 wurde in der iranischen Politik ein bedeutender Wandel eingeleitet. Besonders augenfällig ist dies im Kurswechsel der Atompolitik. Die Öffnung der iranischen Politik nach außen und die Ankündigung innenpolitischer Reformen werden im Land von den konservativen Kräften heftig bekämpft. Der Widerstand lässt Rohani und seiner Regierung wenig Spielraum. Der Iran-Report wertet Nachrichten verschiedener Quellen aus. Auch um die von den Mächtigen in Iran verfügten Behinderungen und Einschränkungen der journalistischen Arbeit auszugleichen.

    SOUTH ASIA TRENDSSOUTH ASIA TRENDS March 2016 March 2016 South Asia Trends is a monthly newsletter on South Asian affairs. The purpose of the newsletter is to provide a panoramic view of important events that shape and impact the politics of the subcontinent. The effort would be to inform our readers of the domestic, regional and international repercussions of the political debates and diplomatic engagements that take place in South Asia. Compiled & Edited by Gulbin Sultana 1 SOUTH ASIA TRENDS March 2016 Editor’s Note 37th session of the SAARC Council of Ministers, 42nd session of the SAARC standing committee and the 52nd session of the SAARC programming committee were held in Pokhara, Nepal on March 14-16, 2016, as part of the SAARC inter-summit sessions. Foreign ministers of all the South Asian countries attended the Council of Ministers meeting which endorsed several proposals such as, SAARC summit will be held in every alternate November; Amjad Hussain B. Sial as the next secretary general of SAARC; establishment of SAARC disaster management centre in Delhi and centre overseeing environmental issues in Pakistan; amendment to the SAARC Development Fund Charter etc. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Nepal Kamal Thapa, who chaired the session, called the event a "grand success". However, analysts are not very satisfied with the outcome of the meeting. Deliberations were held over 32 agenda items during the two days, but the council of ministers could come to consensus to endorse only a few of them. The leaders of the member countries held several formal and informal meetings on the sidelines of the summit, where they discussed their bilateral issues with each other.
