Iran is also a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty<\/a>, which makes the same pledge.

Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – February 27, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\nOn Monday, February 23, Daniel Ruetenik, Pat Milton, and Cara Tabachnick of CBS News reported a newly uncovered document in the Epstein files shows that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was running an investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and fourteen other people for drug trafficking, prostitution, and money laundering.<\/p>\n
This investigation\u2014which is different from the sex trafficking case under way when he died\u2014began on December 17, 2010, under the Obama administration and was still operating in 2015. A heavily redacted document in the Epstein files from the director of the DEA\u2019s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) said \u201cDEA reporting indicates the above individuals are involved in illegitimate wire transfers which are tied to illicit drug and\/or prostitution activities occurring in the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York City.\u201d The investigation was named \u201cChain Reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, described OCDETF as \u201ca premier task force set up to identify, disrupt and dismantle major organized crime and drug trafficking operations.\u201d It \u201cworked with partners across federal agencies to conduct sophisticated investigations into transnational organized crime and money laundering. OCDETF frequently targeted dangerous drug cartels , the Russian mafia and violent gangs moving fentanyl and weapons.\u201d The Trump administration dismantled OCDETF.
