A Maximum Pressure Exit Strategy: Can the U.S. Save the Iran Nuclear Deal Before it’s Too Late?
Since President Trump withdrew from and violated the Iran nuclear deal, tensions with Iran have risen dramatically. The U.S. and Iran have moved to the edge of war twice in the past year, including in January following the airstrike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. Iran has halted compliance with limits under the nuclear accord, and hardliners have increasingly exerted control over Iranian policy. Still, the framework of the nuclear accord remains intact, and the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden has pledged to return the U.S. to compliance if Iran does the same.
Would a Biden administration return to the deal, and if so what hurdles could it encounter? Could Trump pivot away from maximum pressure? And, if the nuclear accord is stabilized, how could the U.S. use diplomacy to resolve tensions across the region? Join us on Wednesday, June 24 for an expert panel and report release addressing these important questions.
