U.S.-Iran Relations after the Nuclear Deal

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  
Vali Nasr

Vali Nasr.


The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, was negotiated between Iran, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, Germany, and the European Union in mid-2015. JCPOA laid a framework for Iran to drastically reduce, and in some ways to eliminate, its stockpiles of enriched uranium. However, earlier this year, the United States withdrew from the agreement, imposing new trade sanctions on Iran. The decision renewed tensions between the United States and Iran and poses new questions about the future of international efforts on the denuclearization agreement.

Join Asia Society Texas Center for a discussion with Johns Hopkins SAIS Dean Vali Nasr, a leading scholar and expert on American foreign policy and Iran, who will discuss the future of U.S.-Iran relations and what the U.S. withdrawal from the agreement means for the international community.


Schedule

5:45 p.m. | Reception
6:30 p.m. | Program
