With Joe Biden in the White house, and his administration seeking to return to international agreements, the future of the Iran nuclear deal is much-debated. The US president has already expressed an intention to rejoin the agreement. But what form will this take? Will the US insist that Iran must first return to its obligations under the deal? Can Iran’s president afford to give in to US demands in an election year? How will US allies Israel and Saudi Arabia respond? AMEC’s webinar, featuring IPS Fellow and Director of IPS’s New Internationalism, Phyllis Bennis, will answer these and other crucial questions related to the nuclear deal an regional politics.
