Iran Nuclear Talks Deadline: What Comes Next?
How U.S. policy will proceed after the deadline is uncertain. In April, Trump resoundingly vowed the Iranian regime would be in “great danger” if negotiations fail, suggesting the situation may require military force and that Israel would “be the leader of that.” However, Trump has made clear his preference for a diplomatic solution over a military one. Washington may opt to stretch talks past the deadline or yield to Iran on core issues, like enrichment, in a last-ditch effort to reach a deal.
To discuss the possible road ahead for U.S. policy, JINSA will be hosting a webinar featuring JINSA Iran Policy Project Member and former U.S. Special Representative for Iran Elliott Abrams, JINSA Senior Advisor and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation the Hon. Stephen Rademaker, and JINSA Director of Foreign Policy Jonathan Ruhe.
The discussion will be moderated by JINSA Vice President for Policy Blaise Misztal.
