countries in the ,middle ,east1 and its

increase the risk that ,iran would share

with extremist groups and rogue nations2
  7,c7 destabilize global energy        
markets1 posing a direct and devastating
 threat to the ,american and global     
economy2 and  7,d7 likely lead other    
governments in the region to pursue

increasing the prospect of nuclear      
proliferation throughout the region and
