The US and Iran: Conciliation or Confrontation?
Karim Sadjadpour

November 6, 2014

As part of the ongoing Nuclear Crossroads Initiative, the Center for Global Security Research (CGSR) is sponsoring a talk entitled “The US and Iran: Conciliation or Confrontation?” Following the lecture there will be a question and answer session. This is open to the Laboratory.

After 35 years of Cold War, are the US and Iran on the verge of a nuclear détente that could facilitate political reconciliation and the possibility of Tehran as a regional ally rather than a regional adversary? Or are the two countries destined for continued nuclear escalation and regional conflict?

He is a leading researcher on Iran, has conducted dozens of interviews with senior Iranian officials and hundreds with Iranian intellectuals, clerics, dissidents, paramilitaries, businessmen, students, activists, and youth, among others. Mr. Sadjadpour received a Masters at John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a BA from the University of Michigan.
