Ms. Bingen: The president then outlined several objectives for the campaign that include destroying Iran’s missile and nuclear infrastructure, naval assets, and proxy forces. So six days in, let’s take stock of where the campaign is at and specifically examine the strategic forces-related dimensions of it. What has defined the campaign thus far? What are the prospects for eliminating Iran’s missile and nuclear threats? What does a prolonged campaign mean for U.S. munitions, inventories, missile defense capacity, and force readiness? And what are the broader regional and global implications of the conflict?
I’m Kari Bingen, director of the Aerospace Security Project. I’m joined by Heather Williams, director of the CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues, and Tom Karako, director of the CSIS Missile Defense Project, to answer these questions. Welcome back to the HTK Series, devoted to talking about strategic forces issues of the day. HTK stands for Heather, Tom, and Kari, but for the defense wonks out there it also stands for hit to kill. We will take audience questions, so please submit those online via the event page.
