Foreign Policy Research Institute A Nation Must Think Before it Acts Iran’s Foreign Policy: A Balancing Act with Europe, America, and Russia

Iran’s Foreign Policy: A Balancing Act with Europe, America, and Russia

| Middle East Program

About the Event

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been an American adversary for decades, but its relations with other world powers, like Europe, and Russia, are complicated and multi-faceted. As certain provisions in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action expire, the divergences in how these three powers view Iran has become magnified, particularly over how best to deal with Tehran and its current crop of ruling elites. The Foreign Policy Research Institute invites you to a joint event with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty featuring a discussion on Iranian relations with the United States, the European Union, and the Russian Federation.
