Since the signing of the interim accord on Iran’s nuclear program, Iranian hardliners are trying to undermine the agreement by reiterating their core tenet: the West is inherently opposed to Iran’s technological advancement. Panelists will launch a report proposing seven areas of scientific collaboration between Iran and the West that have no proliferation risk but can help strengthen and consolidate the positive-sum outlook of the Hassan Rouhani government.

The Iran Task Force, co-chaired by Ambassador Stuart E. Eizenstat, performs comprehensive analyses of Iran’s internal political landscape, its role in the region and the world, and any basis for an improved relationship with the West.
