Policy Toward Iran After Sanctions

Trita Parsi and Michael Singh talked about the prospects for a diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear crisis at the Middle East Institute in the wake of recently imposed United Nations and U.S. sanctions. Among the topics they addressed were the impact that sanctions were having on the Iranian economy and the possibility that military action could be taken if sanctions failed to open the Iranian nuclear program to international inspection. Both speakers also predicted that military action by the U.S. or Israel would not transpire.
