In a timely discussion on U.S. – Iranian relations, the Center for American Progress will host two of the foremost authorities on the subject, Barbara Slavin and Trita Parsi. They have both recently authored books outlining the mercurial relationship between the United States and Iran and the influences of outside actors, including Israel. Both authors had unprecedented access to administration officials in both countries and provide keen insight into a very complicated situation.
Please join us for a lively and stimulating discussion with Barbara Slavin and Trita Parsi, as they draw on their research to illuminate post-NIE policy directions. The discussion will be moderated by Joseph Cirincione, Senior Fellow and Director for Nuclear Policy at the Center for American Progress.
Featured Panelists:
Barbara Slavin, Senior Diplomatic reporter for USA Today (on leave this year as a fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace) and the author of Bitter Friends, Bosom Enemies: Iran, the U.S., and the Twisted Path to Confrontation
Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council and author of Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States
Moderated by:
