About the Event:
The international community is currently negotiating a deal with Iran on its nuclear program. Under a potential deal, Iran would put significant limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief from the international community. But the detail and effects of any potential agreement are far from simple. Iran’s regional rivals, who are core U.S. partners in the Middle East, are deeply concerned about how a deal will change regional power dynamics. There are also questions about economic competition, particularly in energy markets in the aftermath of a nuclear deal. And there are many questions about how the United States and the European Union would be able to re-impose their punishing economic sanctions in the event that Iran does not adhere to a deal. To address these questions, the Center for a New American Security and the Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law will convene a high-level forum of Middle East and sanctions experts to discuss Iran and the future of regional security and economics.
