Brookings Institution
Iran remains a central foreign policy challenge for the United States as tension mounts over its growing nuclear program. The country’s support for destabilizing forces throughout the Middle East, unpredictable domestic politics and hostility toward Israel pose a great threat to regional and international security. Although an international coalition has deployed an array of economic sanctions, dealing with Iran will remain a key challenge for the United States. On April 10, the Campaign 2012 project at Brookings will hold a discussion on Iran, the fourth in a series of forums that will identify and address the 12 most critical issues facing the next president. Josh Gerstein of POLITICO will moderate a panel discussion with Brookings experts Suzanne Maloney, Shibley Telhami and Michael Doran, who will present recommendations to the next president.
After the program, panelists will take questions from the audience.
This event will be webcast live, and participants may follow the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #BIIran.
