Europe and Iran: Beyond the Nuclear Deal
Wed, May 17th, 2017
Carnegie Europe
The EU’s approach to Iran has emerged as one of the few success stories of European foreign policy. The union’s role in helping broker the 2015 Iran nuclear deal is generally underappreciated by policymakers in Europe, in the United States, and around the world. But with the U.S. administration now reviewing whether it should pull out of the landmark—if imperfect—agreement, Tehran may find renewed interest in a strategic relationship with Brussels.
On the eve of Iran’s 2017 presidential election, Carnegie Europe hosted an event to launch Europe and Iran: The Nuclear Deal and Beyond, the latest book by Carnegie Europe Nonresident Fellow Cornelius Adebahr.
The event kicked off with a keynote speech by Helga Maria Schmid, Secretary General of the European External Action Service. A panel discussion followed with remarks by Cornelius Adebahr; Jarrett Blanc, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; and Pierre Vimont, Senior Fellow at Carnegie Europe. Pooneh Ghoddoosi, a Senior Broadcaster with the BBC, moderated.
