Since I last wrote about Iran's nuclear program, the momentum of events has shifted.

Half a year ago, UN nuclear inspectors seemed to be on the verge of forcing Tehran to acknowledge the full extent of its activities and start dismantling them. Instead, the Iranians have succeeded in keeping the crisis "in suspension" for months on end, simultaneously stonewalling the nuclear inspectors while buying time with an on-again, off-again suspension of uranium enrichment activities. At the same time, they've worked to cement tactical alliances with Moscow and Beijing, making UN sanctions increasingly unlikely.

Is any resolution in sight? [more]
