Cirincione is also the author of over eight hundred articles and reports on defense and national security.[8]

Cirincione has advocated for negotiations to end the diplomatic stalemate regarding the nuclear program of Iran.[9] [10] [11] In 2009, he appeared on The Colbert Report.[12] While at Ploughshares Fund, Cirincione was also the host of the nuclear security podcast, Press The Button.[13]

Cirincione previously served as vice president for national security and international policy at the Center for American Progress in Washington, DC. For eight years, he was the director for non-proliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he chaired and organized five annual Carnegie International Non-Proliferation Conferences.[14] The 2005 conference included Cirincione's presentation, "A Brief History of the Atomic Age."[15]
