Analyzing New U.S. Iran Policy

October 26, 2017

On October 13, the Trump administration announced a major shift in U.S. policy, decertifying the nuclear agreement and signaling a tougher approach to Iran's destabilizing activities in the region. In this Call with Experts, RAND Middle East experts Dalia Dassa Kaye and Alireza Nader discuss the future of the Iran nuclear deal and reactions to new sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran. They analyze the ramifications of the decision on the nuclear deal and the longer-term implications for the region and U.S. foreign policy. Media relations director Jeffrey Hiday moderates the call.
