About this Web Site
NuclearIran seeks to provide non-partisan information and analysis about the many facets of Iran’s nuclear program. It has been made possible in large part by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation. Our objective, consistent with ISIS’s larger mission, is to promote a necessary degree of transparency about a complex issue that is an ongoing source of tension between Iran and the United States in particular.
ISIS is a non-profit, non-partisan institution dedicated to informing the public about science and policy issues affecting international security. Its work focuses on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons, bringing about greater transparency of nuclear activities worldwide, and achieving deep reductions in nuclear arsenals. ISIS's projects integrate technical, scientific, and policy research in order to build a sound foundation for a wide variety of efforts to reduce the threat posed by nuclear weapons to U.S. and international security.
Since its inception in 1993, ISIS has produced internationally recognized technical assessments of proliferant-state efforts to acquire nuclear weapons and has often been at the forefront of efforts to solve complex national and international security problems. It has worked regularly in the United States and abroad to assist government officials, independent experts, scientists, and the public to identify credible strategies to solve U.S., regional, and global security problems. Throughout its history, ISIS has maintained a commitment to the wide dissemination of its major findings.
This website is the result of an enormous effort by ISIS staff, including Jacqueline Shire, Paul Brannan, Andrea Scheel, Bernard Bluhm, Jelena Avramovic and Jessica McDonald.
