The Obama administration has obviously decided to go silent on human rights abuses in Iran in hopes of concentrating like a laser on arms control. It is true that it is urgently necessary to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The last three administrations — Clinton, Bush, and Obama — have agreed on that if on little else.
The operating assumption for the U.S. negotiators with Iran is that if we make a big fuss about human rights abuses — intensifying under President Hassan Rouhani — it will impede our ability to strike a deal on nuclear weapons.
