Anne W. Patterson: “Iran is the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism, including in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.”

A destabilized Syria is not just a threat to us and neighbors, but it is also a threat to Russia.

The United States has been a vocal and leading champion of rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The United States will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.

There is no military solution, and the international community cannot afford a continuation of the status quo.
