No Deal with Iran

Summary


Did Arnaud de Borchgrave imply that the United States should offer Iran a nonaggression treaty in exchange for scrapping its nuclear program ("Perfect storm warning," Commentary, Tuesday)?

Any promise by Washington to the Tehran mullahs that no military action will be taken against them would turn Iran into a safe haven for terrorists.
