Description

Since the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, Tehran has continued its malign policies in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq, Syria and Yemen. Iran’s expanding influence in these war-torn countries has been facilitated by the strategic dividends and sanctions relief provided by the nuclear deal. How should the United States respond? What should be done about the flawed nuclear agreement? How can the United States target the Iranian regime's repression at home? A panel of experts will examine these and other issues.
