About the Briefing
Negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 (US, UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany) have resulted in a first step agreement of a possible comprehensive deal on the Iranian nuclear program.
However, aspects of the deal have proved controversial, not only with U.S. allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, but with some members of the U.S. Congress as well.
Please join us as we hear from a panel of experts examining the negotiations, the potential for a deal that could effectively halt Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapons capability, and implications for U.S. national security.
