The Indo-US nuclear deal has been signed. The next step is to get it passed through the US Congress and the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). This also entails amending the laws, so that India can receive the same benefits as those states that are a party to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT).

This Issue recommends that the US and other western powers adopt a cooperative approa

Dr. Rice said, "this is not a question of rights but whether or not the fuel cycle can be trusted in Iran."
On January 22, 2021 the TPNW will enter into force. But will it matter?
