This is John Batchel, a colleague Henry Sikolsky of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center,

anticipating the possibility that Iran following the attack will withdraw from the NPT,

similar to what North Korea did in the beginning of the 21st century.

What is to be done?

Henry poses the question quite straightforwardly. Here's Henry

Sikolsky on NPT, Iran, and the possibilities, and what is to be done. More of this later.

I think both. In other words, if it's unacceptable, you need to make withdrawal from the NPT

painful and clear in a preemptive way, which is to say preventative way,

which is to announce now what we will do, not just the United States, but other like-minded

states, if Iran withdraws from the NPT before it's come back into compliance with it, because

now it's in violation of it.

So we didn't do that in the case of North Korea.

We need to clean up our act here.
