This information includes articles, papers and other documents addressing issues pertinent to US military response options for dealing with chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats and countermeasures. It’s our hope this information resource will help enhance your counterproliferation issue awareness. Established in 1998, the USAF/CPC provides education and research to present and future leaders of the Air Force, as well as to members of other branches of the armed services and Department of Defense. Our purpose is to help those agencies better prepare to counter the threat from weapons of mass destruction.

According to the poll, nearly two-thirds of Israelis favor a nuclear free zone in the Middle East. The University of Maryland research poll was joint project of the Anwar Sadat Chair at the University of Maryland and the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA). PIPA is a joint program of the Center on Policy Attitudes and the Center on International Security Studies at Maryland. The poll, according to PhysOrg.com, showed that 64 percent of Israeli Jews favored establishing a nuclear free zone in the Middle East even if this means that Israel and Iran would have to forgo having nuclear weapons. Fewer than 43 percent supported an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The poll also found that 90 percent of Israelis believe it is likely Iran will acquire nuclear weapons. When respondents were asked which they preferred, a Middle East zone in which both Israel and Iran have nuclear weapons or one in which neither have nuclear weapons, 65 percent responded they would prefer that neither have nuclear weapons. Only 19 percent of respondents said they would prefer both Israel and Iran to have nuclear weapons. University of Maryland's Anwar Sadat professor for Peace and Development Shibley Telhami, said: "I find the results surprising given the long held assumption that the Israeli public is not prepared to even discuss the nuclear issue given their deep seated sense of insecurity." Steven Kull, director of PIPA, added "If Israel and Iran were to indicate a readiness to join a process toward turning the Middle East into a nuclear free zone this would be a major game changer in negotiations on Iran's nuclear program." The researchers found that Israeli Jews were in support of a long term goal of eliminating nuclear weapons in the region. They were in support of a proposal for Iran and Israel to make their nuclear programs mutually transparent. 60 percent of respondents favored a proposal to have Israel, Iran and all countries in the region "agree to have a system of full international inspection of all facilities where nuclear components could be built and maintained." The researchers believe their research findings are very relevant to any future negotiations with Iran. The poll results follow Iran's recent boycott of an Israel-Arab meeting on nuclear-free Middle East. Haaretz Daily reports Iran said it boycotted the meeting because it was convinced that IAEA director general Yukiya Amano, was biased in favor of the West. Iran also accused the IAEA of failing to address the issue of Israel's alleged atomic arsenal. The meeting was planned to pave way for an international conference next year to address the issue of freeing the Middle East of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Haaretz Daily reports Israel is the only Middle East country outside the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel is believed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, but the country has never confirmed or denied the allegation.

Major General Zhang Zhaozhong said, "China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third World War." The United States and Israel have repeatedly threatened Tehran with the "option" of a military strike, based on the allegation that Iran's nuclear program may consist of a covert military agenda. Iran has refuted the allegations, saying that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Over the past weeks, Israel has renewed its aggressive rhetoric against Iran. On November 21, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned that "time has come" to deal with Iran. Israeli President Shimon Peres also threatened on November 6 that an attack against Iran is becoming "more and more likely." Iranian officials have promised a crushing response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East. http://presstv.com/detail/213760.html (Return to Articles and Documents List) Los Angeles Times Mysterious Blasts, Slayings Suggest Covert Efforts in Iran Attacks targeting nuclear scientists and sites lead some observers to believe that the U.S. and Israel are trying to derail Iran's programs. By Ken Dilanian, Los Angeles Times December 4, 2011 Reporting from Washington — At an Iranian military base 30 miles west of Tehran, engineers were working on weapons that the armed forces chief of staff had boasted could give Israel a "strong punch in the mouth." But then a huge explosion ripped through the Revolutionary Guard Corps base on Nov. 12, leveling most of the buildings. Government officials said 17 people were killed, including a founder of Iran's ballistic missile program, Gen. Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam. Iranian officials called the blast an accident. Perhaps it was. Decades of international sanctions have left Iran struggling to obtain technology and spare parts for military programs and commercial industries, leading in some cases to dangerous working conditions. However, many former U.S. intelligence officials and Iran experts believe that the explosion — the most destructive of at least two dozen unexplained blasts in the last two years — was part of a covert effort by the U.S., Issue No. 962, 06 December 2011 United States Air Force Counterproliferation Research & Education | Maxwell AFB, Montgomery AL Phone: 334.953.7538 | Fax: 334.953.7530 Israel and others to disable Iran's nuclear and missile programs.

  • A Strong Case for a New START a National Security Briefing Memo
    A Strong Case for a New START A National Security Briefing Memo Max Bergmann and Samuel Charap April 6, 2010 What is New START and why do we need it? New START, the agreement between the United States and Russia on a successor to the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, is a historic achievement that will increase the United States’ safety and security. It will help us move beyond the outdated strategic approaches of the Cold War and reduce the threat of nuclear war, and marks a significant step in advancing President Barack Obama’s vision of a world without nuclear weapons. It also shows that his policy of constructive engagement with Russia is working. New START strengthens and modernizes the original START Treaty that President Ronald Reagan initiated in 1982 and George H.W. Bush signed in 1991. That agreement significantly reduced the number of nuclear weapons and launchers, but it also embodied Reagan’s favorite Russian proverb “trust but verify” by establishing an extensive verifica- tion and monitoring system to ensure compliance. This system helped build trust and mutual confidence that decreased the unimaginable consequences of а conflict between the world’s only nuclear superpowers. Yet President George W. Bush’s reckless policies left this cornerstone of nuclear stability’s fate in doubt. Bush effectively cut off relations between the United States and Russia on nuclear issues by unilaterally pulling out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and refusing to engage in negotiations on a successor to START even though it was set to expire less than a year after he left office.

It was demonstrated that Ahmadinejad indeed called for the destruction of Israel and his words were not misrepresented. The previous study concluded with the observation by Michael Axworthy, who served as head of the Iran Section of Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1998 to 2000: “The formula had been used before by Khomeini and others, and had been translated by representatives of the Iranian regime as ‘wiped off the map.’ Some of the dispute that has arisen over what exactly Ahmadinejad meant by it has been rather bogus.

    THE GOSPEL PROJECT Into the Promised Land Daily Discipleship Guide SPRING 2019 | VOL. 3 | ESV Daily DiscipleshipDaily Guide ESV SPRING 2019 © 2019 LifeWay Christian Resources God’s Word to You A Life Worth Dying For In the beginning, God created all things good. With the making of humankind as male and female, He even declared His creation to be very good. Paradise was the location; abundant life was the experience, that is, until the taint of sin covered the world through the rebellion of Adam and Eve against their Creator. As a result, humanity lost its paradise and was separated from the God who created all things good. Death was God’s warning for disobedience, and death became the reality—the death of living apart from God (sin), the death of life (physical death), and the death of eternal separation from God’s goodness (spiritual death). But the God of all good things was not finished. He called a people to Himself to be a light to the world. He gave them His holy expectations that they should follow them. He made provision for sin through sacrifices. And even when His people continued to rebel against Him, He promised life from death. In comes Jesus, the Son of God sent into the world to make all things new. “In him was life, and that life was the light of men” (John 1:4). “Full of grace and truth,” Jesus obeyed all of the Father’s holy expectations (1:14). He is “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (1:29).

Defining the Obama Doctrine, Its Pitfalls, and How to Avoid Them by Kim Holmes, Ph.D., and James Carafano, Ph.D., Published by The Heritage Foundation, September 1, 2010 Obama’s Foreign Policy by Henry Nau, Published by Hoover Institution, Policy Review, Number 160, September 29, 2010 What Are the Key Tenets of the Obama Doctrine? By Kim Holmes, Ph.D. and James Carafano, Ph.D. Published online at The Heritage Foundation (no date provided) Almost two years into his term, President Obama had hoped to improve America’s standing in the world by crafting a foreign policy vastly different from his predecessor’s. His statements and actions demonstrate a doctrine that sees America less as “the exceptional nation” than as an “equal partner,” one nation among many. Characteristics of his policies include a heightened emphasis on multilateralism, an apologetic attitude toward the past, a more restrained role on the global stage, and an atmosphere of mutual respect toward oppressive autocracies. Examining the principles and policies advanced thus far by the Obama Administration, Professor Henry Nau and former Assistant Secretary of State Kim R. Holmes analyzed whether the unfolding Obama Doctrine has in fact improved America’s standing in the world and our national interests According to Dr. Holmes and Dr. Nau, President Obama has “laid out in his public statements, the tenets of a doctrine that, if enacted, would enable his Administration to remake America as one nation among many, with no singular claim either to responsibility or exceptionalism.
