SUMMARY:Iran at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Suzanne DiMaggio from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Suzanne is the Director of the Iran Project. \nU.S. relations with Iran have reached a critical point. The Iranian nuclear program is more advanced than it’s ever been as negotiations to restore the JCPOA have stalled. Iran’s provision of drones to Russia against Ukraine and Tehran’s brutal crackdown on protesters around the death of Mahsa Amini have led to heightened tensions. At the same time\, the international sanctions regime at the heart of the U.S.’s pressure campaign against Iran is fraying as Tehran\, Moscow\, and Beijing forge closer ties. Against this evolving backdrop\, what are the strategic options for U.S. policy toward Iran. Is an agreement to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon still a realistic goal? What are the alternatives? \nReception and networking for this event will take place from 5 – 6pm. \nParking\nThe program will take place at the Auditorium of the Wisner-Botrall Applied Technology Center on the Grand Rapids Community College campus (151 Fountain Street. NE). Free parking is available in Parking Lot A on Ransom Ave NE between Lyon and Fountain (you’ll receive an exit ticket when you sign-in at the event).  Guests will walk across the walking bridge to enter the ATC and take one floor down to the auditorium. \nCampus Maps \nTickets\nIndividual tickets can be purchased below for $10 each.\nIf you are interested in the full Great Decisions event series\, series passes are available for $60. Series passes grant you access to all of the Great Decisions events this year\, as well as links to view a livestream video of the event. \nFor our Senator\, Corporate\, and Educational members\, you may register and attend the series for free using the Coupon code FREEWORLD at checkout (this works for both series passes and individual tickets). \nSpecial thanks to Series sponsor\, Wolverine Worldwide \nSpecial thanks to topic sponsor\, Grand Valley State University \nSpecial thanks to Media sponsors\, WGVU and Grand Rapids Community Media Center
