Executive Summary
ISN/CTR’s Iraq Program works inside Iraq to target and disrupt Iran’s efforts to threaten U.S. troops and Israel, by denying Iranian-backed proxies and other terrorist groups the ability to pursue unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, and by preventing UAS and chemical and biological weapons (CBW) attacks on U.S. personnel and interests in Iraq and the broader region. Through targeted engagements in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan, the ISN/CTR Iraq Program develops Iraqi capabilities to counter these threats by disrupting threat actor acquisition of materials, dual-use equipment, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure for the development of CBW, and supports Iraqi military forces, law enforcement, and laboratories to detect and respond to CBW attacks. Supporting Iraqi prevention and response capabilities against chemical, biological, radiological, and UAS threats provides security to U.S. personnel and allies in the region, while weakening Iran’s proxy networks, in turn creating greater leverage for the United States for negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

Executive Summary
The Director of National Intelligence assesses that Russian scientific institutes continue to research and develop chemical and biological weapons (CBW) capabilities, including technologies to deliver CBW agents. Russia retains an undeclared chemical weapons program and has used chemical weapons at least twice during recent years in assassination attempts with Novichok nerve agents, also known as fourth-generation agents, against Russian opposition leader Aleksey Navalny in 2020, and against U.K. citizen Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yuliya Skripal on U.K. soil in 2018. Russian forces almost certainly continue using chemicals against Ukrainian forces, with hundreds of reported attacks occurring since late 2022.

In response to this very specific national security threat, ISN/CTR will engage biological, biotechnology, chemical, and pharmaceutical (BBCP) industry on compliance and due diligence best-practices to protect manufacturing and distribution supply chains from Russian acquisition of material and equipment for CBW development. In the instances of use, ISN/CTR will train first responders to assess and secure contamination sites and collect and transport samples to maintain a proper chain of custody to a detection laboratory.  ISN/CTR will also train laboratory staff in CBW detection methods to ensure beneficiaries are technically proficient to detect CBW use, as well as strengthen cybersecurity via assessments and select upgrades to protect detection processes, documentation, and reporting.

For Fiscal Year 2025, American Spaces Morocco aims to continue delivering impactful programs that promote American excellence and encourage the best and brightest young Moroccans, ages 18 to 30, to increase their engagement with America. The programming will focus on four key areas: English language learning, creative economies, digital transformation, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math). The English Language Learning initiative will provide immersive, skill-building opportunities that enhance language proficiency while fostering cultural exchange and greater appreciation of American values. Creative economy programming will build connections between American and Moroccan artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators, with the goal of increasing interest in U.S. expertise, services, and educational opportunities within creative industries. Digital transformation programs will offer participants—including individuals and small businesses—the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world, with an emphasis on the influence and benefits of American technology. STEAM initiatives will promote hands-on learning and inspire Moroccan youth to explore academic and professional paths in STEAM-related fields, while also encouraging them to consider higher education in the United States. Programs will be held primarily in person at American Spaces, with virtual components used to extend reach or serve as the main method of delivery when necessary. The initiative seeks proposals that prioritize the needs of young participants while minimizing administrative and equipment costs. A successful proposal will include a detailed monthly calendar of activities spanning at least eight months and address one or more of the core focus areas. Programming may be implemented at one or both American Spaces locations as well as with local partner organizations dedicated to amplifying American culture. Preference will be given to proposals that are innovative, cost-effective, and clearly designed to maximize impact on
participants, aligning closely with American Spaces’ mission to foster mutual understanding and provide educational and professional development opportunities through cultural exchange.

Executive Summary
ISN/CTR administers the Counterproliferation and Sanctions Enforcement (CASE) program to increase global capacity to implement and enforce U.S. and international sanctions imposed on Iran and DPRK and thwart these nations’ abilities to develop ballistic missile (BM), drone and unmanned aerial system (UAS), and nuclear capabilities that pose a threat to U.S. national security. Established in 2017 to support the Trump Administration’s pressure campaign against the DPRK, the CASE trains partners to enforce U.S. and international sanctions constraining DPRK weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. In parallel, CASE is ISN’s flagship programmatic tool to implement Maximum Pressure on Iran through National Security Presidential Memorandum 2. In support of these campaigns, CASE facilitates sanctions implementation by equipping partner governments and private sector leaders with expertise and enforcement tools to detect, disrupt and prevent Iranian and DPRK sanctions evasion activities that enable their acquisition of proliferation sensitive technologies, materials, and expertise.  CASE activities ultimately strengthen maritime security, cybersecurity, and global sanctions regimes; disrupt Iran and DPRK revenue generation; and protect U.S. supply chains, U.S. companies’ global investments, and U.S. access to international markets.

Executive Summary
ISN/CTR’s Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP) advances the Trump Administration’s Executive Order (E.O.) on Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research, which pledges to “balance the prevention of catastrophic consequences with maintaining readiness against biological threats and driving global leadership in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, biosecurity, and health research”. In alignment with this E.O., BEP engages partner countries to prevent U.S. adversaries from developing or using biological weapons (BW) against Americans. BEP also protects U.S. biotechnologies, sensitive data, and intellectual property (IP), and bolsters U.S. leadership of global biotechnology markets through private sector engagement to outcompete China, and promotes partner countries’ adoption of U.S. laboratory security, safety, and cybersecurity standards. To successfully achieve this mission, BEP partners include biological and biotechnology laboratories, bio- and data repositories, universities, science and technology organizations or academies, foreign government organizations and entities, biosafety associations or similar professional associations, and private industry.  The expertise and tools acquired through BEP engagements are critical to enable our partners to counter the predatory and exploitative efforts of U.S. adversaries that threaten U.S. national and economic security.

Executive Summary
ISN/CTR's Chemical Security Program (CSP) is a counterproliferation program designed to prevent U.S. adversaries from acquiring the materials, equipment, and expertise needed to advance chemical weapons (CW) programs that threaten U.S. national security. CSP engages key stakeholders in frontline countries to ensure they are better able to identify, interdict, and investigate high-risk transfers; enforce U.S. sanctions; recognize and attribute chemical attacks; and promote U.S. chemical security standards and risk-based best practices for partner country chemical industries. Through targeted engagements, CSP disrupts U.S. adversaries' efforts to weaponize pharmaceutical based agents (PBAs) for offensive and military applications, builds countries ability to recognize and attribute chemical weapons (CW) attacks, and disrupts illicit chemical shipments that could be used to produce CW. CSP also promotes security coordination between partner governments and private industry to improve counterproliferation implementation. Through this targeted, preventive programming, CSP enhances U.S. and partner resilience by closing the chemical counterproliferation gaps exploited by American adversaries, while simultaneously promoting U.S. chemical security standards and reducing undue burden on business.

Executive Summary 
China and Russia systematically exploit global supply chains and the U.S. financial system to acquire proliferation-sensitive goods and technologies and support onward proliferation through illicit trade networks. These actions are in violation of U.S. and international laws and regulations and undermine American security and prosperity and the security of our partners and allies.   

ISN/CTR conducts global national security programming that counters illicit procurement, investment schemes, and financing networks that China and Russia use to exploit international trade and finance.  U.S. and partner country sanctions and economic deterrents target the nodes and sectors that enable China’s & Russia’s military modernization and sanctions evasion efforts; however, these tools are only as strong as their implementation and enforcement around the globe. 

ISN/CTR provides partners with enhanced capabilities to identify and disrupt complex sanctions evasion strategies and understand the risks of noncompliance (e.g. potential secondary sanctions). ISN/CTR accomplishes this through technical engagements that provide resources to assist partners to identify and avoid transactions with designated entities, and their associated networks. Engagements are tailored to discrete audiences within the public and private sector and address region or jurisdiction-specific issues.
