The United States and Iran The Past, Present, and Future of a Challenging Relationship

Where do relations between the United States and Iran stand today? How did we get here, and
where are we going? How will the Trump administration’s decision to reimpose sanctions
influence the future trajectory of US-Iran relations and the geopolitics of the Middle East? Are
the United States and Iran on a collision course, or is there hope for cooperation?
Join us on March 27 for an expert discussion of these and other questions!
Panelists:
• Simon Davis: Professor of History, CUNY Graduate Center
• Omid Memarian: Deputy Director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran
• Richard Nephew: Senior Research Scholar at the Columbia Center for Global Energy Policy
and former Principal Deputy Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the U.S. Department of State.
• Nilo Tabrizy: Video Journalist, The New York Times
