With the signing of an interim accord providing limited sanctions relief in return for restraints on Iran’s nuclear program, attention has focused on whether Iran will be able to increase its currently depressed oil and natural gas exports and whether multinational oil companies will again be willing to invest in Iran’s energy sector. Meanwhile, the President Hassan Rouhani’s administration is altering Iran’s energy policies in an effort to attract new buyers and investment. The panel will discuss the impact of these changes on Iran’s economy and on world oil supplies and prices.
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.
