As fifty-three countries attend the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague, a country that has developed a sophisticated nuclear complex and which has been in the news for more than a decade over its nuclear program is missing from the guest list, Iran, begging the question: Should it have been invited?
The Summit is the third of its kind; the United States hosted the inaugural 2010 Summit in Washington while a second Summit was held in Seoul in 2012. President Obama announced last spring his intention to host the 2016 Summit. While the purpose of the Summit is to prevent nuclear terrorism and to secure loose nuclear materials or stockpiles that could be used to develop nuclear weapons, its intentions and objectives are well within the spirit of the November 2013 Joint Plan of Action (JPA) between Iran and the so-called P5+1 and the cooperation framework agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
