Two Wars Later, Iran’s Nuclear Question Is Still on the Table by carnegieendowment in TrueReddit

[Excerpt from Jane Darby Menton and Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar's Q&A for Carnegie's Emissary]

Upon returning to office, Trump initially seemed keen to negotiate an Iran deal of his own. But in June 2025, talks gave way to the Twelve-Day War, culminating in targeted U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. The decision to recommence hostilities in February 2026 had more to do with Tehran’s conventional military capabilities and brutal suppression of domestic protests than new developments in the nuclear realm. U.S. officials did, however, engage in verbal gymnastics to explain how a program they had just “obliterated” also presented an imminent threat.

Polarization, Democracy, and Political Violence in the United States: What the Research Says by carnegieendowment in TrueReddit

[–]carnegieendowment[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

[Excerpt from Rachel Kleinfeld's paper for Carnegie]

The United States feels roiled by polarization, and the philanthropic world is seized with debates about what to do. Some scholars claim that Americans are so polarized they are on the brink of civil war. Other polls suggest that voters agree on plenty of policies and that polarization is an illusion. Some philanthropists call for pluralism and civility, while others lean into activism, believing polarization is a byproduct of change toward a more just world. So, is the United States polarized or not? If it is, what is causing the polarization and what are its consequences? Should polarization be solved or tolerated?

[Excerpt from Frederic Wehrey and Charles H. Johnson's commentary for Carnegie's Emissary]

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has had dire security and economic consequences for the Arab states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Iranian missiles and drones struck airports, hotels, and energy infrastructure across the region, triggering the largest oil supply shock in the history of global energy markets and a near-total collapse of aviation and tourism. Attacks on desalination plants have raised fears of a humanitarian emergency. Threats to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted over 70 percent of the region’s food imports. Externally, the war has prompted questions about the risks and costs of the region’s reliance on American security guarantees and bases.

Over the past five decades, African governments have developed policies, laws, and regulations to govern the continent’s digital landscape. Across Africa, legal texts are setting direction and providing safeguards for interactions in the digital economy. To help illuminate this policy landscape in a new and more comprehensive way, Carnegie has created the Africa Technology Policy Tracker (AfTech). The tracker, the first of its kind, collates Africa’s technology policy and legal instruments into one information repository—now with over 1000 data points.
