Carnegie's Karim Sadjadpour appears on BBC World to discuss the new EU-U.S. sanctions on Iran. Sadjadpour comments that while the new sanctions will likely do little to temper Iran, the mutual mistrust between the United States and Iran is unlikely to end until a new U.S. administration is in place and a new president is elected in Iran in June 2009.

    Europe’s Overseas Countries and Territories as Geopolitical Assets

    European states control several Overseas Countries and Territories around the world that carry strategic, economic, and environmental weight. As great powers challenge the rules-based order, defending them is a geopolitical imperative for Europe.
