U.S. vs. IRAN: Back to the Negotiating Table?

Tensions between the United States and Iran are back on the rise. On May 8, 2018 President Trump announced that the United States would no longer participate in the Join Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). As of November 5^th, all U.S. sanctions on Iran are back into effect, including energy and financial sanctions. Iran is already feeling the reaction in their economy as their oil exports decrease, companies withdraw from the state, and their currency value declines.

But will these reimposed sanctions make any difference in bringing Iran back to the negotiating table or will Iran decide to retaliate by withdrawing their own commitments to the JCPOA? What will the real impact be without international cooperation? Join us for an evening with Ray Takeyh from the Council on Foreign Relations as we discuss these questions and what the future holds for U.S.-Iran relations.
