The JCPOA: Looking Ahead After One Year
Wed, June 29th, 2016
Washington, DC
As the first anniversary of the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between the P5+1 and Iran approaches, it is time to look ahead to the long-term implications of the agreement. How has its implementation been conducted thus far? How could the agreement be used as a building block to strengthen the international nonproliferation regime? And how is the JCPOA affecting Iranian domestic politics and economics? Carnegie held a half-day event discussing these questions and more.
