Delivering online cognitive behavioral therapy to address mental health challenges in correctional workers: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Background: Correctional workers (CWs), are frequently exposed to traumatic workplace events, placing them at higher risk of experiencing mental health disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite high prevalence of mental health challenges, CWs underutilize mental health services due to stigma, irregular work schedules, and accessibility issues.
Schmit shows duplicity in Congress, fails his constituents
Sen. Eric Schmitt continues to amaze with his falsehoods and bloviations, while accomplishing little for the benefit of Missouri. As the state’s attorney general he joined a lawsuit to invalidate certain electoral votes in the 2020 election, with no basis in fact. He rightfully condemns violent rhetoric from the left, but overlooks similar threats from the right, including from the president.
What if Iran withdraws from the NPT?
What if Iran withdraws from the NPT? Bulletin. By Mark Goodman, Mark Fitzpatrick | June 25, 2025 As the Iranian nuclear program saga plays out, one diplomatic action has been widely expected: Iran may declare its withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).[1] Such a withdrawal would eliminate the legal prohibition on Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons and the requirement that Iran accept international safeguards monitoring.

Iran-US diplomacy trudges on as hopes of new nuclear understandings grow
June 25, 2023 The European Union’s mediator for reviving the Iran nuclear deal Enrique Mora met with Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani earlier this week, as Washington and Tehran are reportedly discussing new agreements that would limit the latter’s nuclear capabilities. While US President Joe Biden has said the Iran nuclear deal is “dead,” a new agreement of sorts appears in the making. “Long live the Iran deal” is not a cheer raised by anybody in the Biden Administration.

How Israel's Nuclear Monopoly Affects Proliferation in the Middle East • Stimson Center
“What about Israel?” is a question often posed when I lecture about Iran’s nuclear program. I had a chance to address the question head-on at a recent Stimson Center panel discussion on “Nuclear Proliferation in the Middle East Beyond Iran.” It is not news that for past half century, Israel has had a nuclear monopoly in the region. The weapons serve as an ultimate insurance policy for a nation surrounded by much more populous and often antagonistic Muslim states.

Restoring Iran nuclear deal may again see trade-off between past and present knowledge
August 12, 2022 After months of deadlock and near death, the Iran nuclear deal has a new chance for revival. On Aug. 8, the European Union, which for the past 16 months has been acting as a broker between Iran and the United States in talks to restore the accord, presented what it called a final text of a compromise package that it hopes meets all parties’ bottom lines. The EU text would require compromises for both main antagonists.
Limits on Iran’s nuclear program are needed more than ever
June 3, 2022 Two May 30 reports on Iran’s nuclear program by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) paint a dire picture. Iran has now produced over 43 kilograms of 60% highly enriched uranium (HEU). This is enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon if further enriched to 90%, a process that could take just a couple of weeks. Iran’s “breakout” time is thus below the margin of error for timely detection.
Iran nuclear talks overcome Russian wrench in gears
Anyone hoping for resumed limits on Iran’s nuclear program and resumed Iranian international trade can breathe a sigh of relief that the 2015 accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), appears likely soon to be revived. What last week had looked to be a Russian wrench dropped into the gears of negotiations on Tuesday became little more than sand — irritating, but not debilitating — as Moscow apparently backed down from over-reaching demands.

Do you really need collision insurance?
Collision coverage pays for necessary repairs if the policyholder’s car gets damaged after colliding with another vehicle or object. This coverage type is typically included as part of a full coverage policy. Other inclusions are liability and comprehensive coverage. There are various factors to consider in determining if you do need collision coverage or not. Among these are your vehicle’s age, value and location.

EU's top diplomat says Iran nuclear talks to resume 'soon'
The European Union’s foreign policy chief said Thursday that he expected Iran and world powers would "soon" resume talks over reviving the landmark nuclear agreement.
Iran, UAE rehash tensions over contested islands
“The three islands are inseparable swaths of Iranian territory and any claim on them is vehemently rejected,” read a statement by Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations.
Iran, IAEA spar over access to Karaj nuclear site
September 27, 2021 The spokesperson for Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency, Behrouz Kamalvandi, has responded to the International Atomic Energy Agency on limitations on access to parts of Iran’s nuclear program. Kamalvandi said that the IAEA's claim that access to a nuclear facility was restricted was “one-sided and biased” and “not productive” to the process described in a Sept. 12 joint statement issued by Iran and IAEA director Rafael Grossi.
Iran introduces own version of maximum pressure
Anyone hoping for quick progress in talks to restore the Iran nuclear deal would find little reason for cheer in the posture adopted by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossain Amir-Abdollahian. In meetings with journalists and analysts in New York last week, the new face of Iran’s foreign policy, from an American perspective, demanded too much and offered too little. Iran would “very soon” return to meetings in Vienna, Amir-Abdollahian said.
Iran has had weeks post-election to get back into nuke talks – Responsible Statecraft
Time is wasting, and as Tehran delays, it continues to accumulate enriched uranium and operate advanced centrifuges. With talks on restoring the Iran nuclear deal now grounded for over ten weeks, Tehran says it could be another ten weeks before it is ready to resume talking. That would be a mistake. Further stalling intended to increase Iran’s leverage could have the opposite effect of decreasing the perceived value of restoring the deal.
US military mission limited to Kabul airport security, not retrieving Americans
The Pentagon placed the head of the 82nd Airborne Division in charge of securing Kabul’s main airport this week after chaos on the runway temporarily halted evacuation flights from Afghanistan. Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue arrived in the Afghan capital to relieve pressure on the US commander overseeing the evacuation, Rear Adm. Peter Vasely, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Afghan chaos further incentive for India’s efforts to strengthen ties with Iran
The Indian government, which has been reaching out to the new administration in Iran to establish closer ties that New Delhi sees as important to its regional aims, has seen its efforts become all the more pressing in light of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban's subsequent takeover. Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar has visited Tehran twice this summer, the second time as one of the high-profile guests at the Aug.
Whither US policy toward Iran?
With Hossein Amir-Abdollahian’s nomination as foreign minister set to be approved by Iran’s parliament, stalled negotiations to restore the Iran nuclear deal may finally get back on track. While it is not yet clear whether the Foreign Ministry or the Supreme National Security Council will oversee the nuclear file, Iran’s team has now taken shape and is largely united.
Iran's Kabul embassy 'operational' despite Taliban takeover
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said the country's embassy in Kabul continues its normal operations two days after the lightning capture of the Afghan capital by the Taliban. Khatibzadeh said the Islamic Republic's consulate in the city of Herat, close to the Iranian border, also remains fully operational.
US blasts Iran's uranium metal production as 'unconstructive'
The Biden administration is demanding Iran cease its “nuclear escalations,” warning that Tehran’s continued production of banned uranium metal will further undermine the diplomatic process as Washington seeks to revive the landmark nuclear agreement. Rafael Grossi, the head of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency watchdog, reportedly told member countries on Monday that Iran has manufactured 200 grams of uranium metal enriched up to 20%.
Ahmadinejad accuses 'ring' in Iran intelligence of espionage
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused a "corrupt ring" inside Iran's intelligence apparatus of maintaining "a systematic link" with foreign espionage agencies. "They have to brace for trials," Ahmadinejad, who served as head of state from 2005-2013, warned the group, without naming its members. But the former president left more than enough signs in his video message that "the ring" in question was within the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Watchdog: Internet disrupted in Iran amid water protests
The Iranian government cut internet access in the past week during protests in an impoverished province, according to an internet watchdog. There were disruptions to internet access on cellphones from July 15-20, and the blockage knocked out approximately 3% to 4% of mobile data in Iran, the London-based NetBlocks announced Wednesday.
Tehran begins another round of coronavirus lockdowns
Tehran announced a week of new restrictions as coronavirus cases in the country continue to climb. According to Health Ministry officials, in the last 24 hours over 27,000 individuals have contracted COVID-19, leading to over 2,000 hospitalizations. Also in the last 24 hours, there were 213 deaths from the virus, which brings the total number of COVID-19 deaths to over 87,000.
Iran spokesman says powerful body rejects nuclear deal with US
Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei said July 20 that a high-ranking committee has decided that an Iran-US agreement on the revival of the multilateral Iran nuclear deal, or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), has to be rejected. Rabiei said the decision was made despite an "agreement in principle" that has already been reached between Iran and American negotiators, who have been indirectly discussing their return to the JCPOA during six rounds of talks in Vienna.
Will Raisi follow Zarif’s path for reviving Iran nuclear deal?
Outgoing Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s July 12 report to parliament offers a clear path for completing negotiations over restoring the 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). All the incoming administration of President-elect Ebrahim Raisi needs to do is follow Zarif’s advice to adjust maximalist positions.
Iran's authorities reopen wounds of 2019 deadly crackdown
The Iranian public's rage at the state-led crackdown on fuel price hike protests in November 2019 has only accumulated over the past 18 months, as authorities refuse to come clean or release any official report into the killings and abuses. A series of inflammatory comments and decisions by Iranian officials over the past week seems to have further intensified the fury. The topic reentered the public sphere after Iran's security chief, Rear Adm.
EU hits Iranian officials with sanctions over human rights abuses
The European Union slapped sanctions on eight Iranian officials and three prisons on Monday over their roles in the deadly crackdown on the peaceful protests that erupted in 2019. The sanctions on militia commanders and police officers, announced by the EU’s Official Journal on Monday, are the first imposed by the European bloc since 2013. A sudden increase in gasoline prices prompted widespread anti-government demonstrations in November 2019.
US denies involvement in attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear site
The United States says it wasn't involved in the apparent cyberattack on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility on Sunday, which Tehran has described as “nuclear terrorism” carried out by Israel. “The US was not involved in any manner,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said when asked on Monday.
Iran hard-liners call for end to Vienna talks after attack on nuclear facility
After another attack on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, hard-liners in Iran have called for ending the negotiations in Vienna on the United States' reentry to the 2015 nuclear deal. Over the weekend, a suspected Israeli attack caused a power outage in the nuclear facility located in Esfahan province. The site has been attacked previously, years before the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, in a sophisticated cyber attack carried out by European countries, the United States and Israel.
White House faces tough task of tearing down Iran sanctions wall to save nuclear deal
In the fall of 2020, as Trump administration foreign policy officials anticipated their time in office would soon be over, they sought to perpetuate one of their most unsuccessful polices — the maximum pressure campaign against Iran — by erecting what they called a “sanctions wall.” The purpose, which they made no attempt to hide, was to undermine the next administration’s ability to restore the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The Takeaway: Timing of return to nuclear deal depends on Iran
Jan 27, 2021 Blinken on Iran deal: “We’re not there yet" In his first press conference as US secretary of state, Antony Blinken said, "If Iran comes back into full compliance with its obligations under the JCPOA [the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action], the United States would do the same thing and then we would use that as a platform to build, with our allies and partners, what we called a longer and stronger agreement and to deal with a number of other issues that are deeply problematic in...
To stop Iran’s advances toward nuclear weapons, restore the JCPOA
Jan 15, 2021 News on Jan. 13 that Iran has started work on an assembly line to manufacture uranium metal makes it more imperative to quickly restore the 2015 nuclear accord that restricted such activity, although Iran’s move may also make it harder for President-elect Joe Biden to follow through on his election pledge to resume US compliance with the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Laying out his plan in a Sept.
