With Iran scheduled to hold elections, including a crucial presidential election, on the 18th of June, the Stimson Center’s Security for a New Century program and its Middle East and North Africa program hosted a panel of regional experts to discuss how the outcome of the elections could shape and be shaped by internal and regional dynamics and what this would mean for the positioning of the U.S. and E.U. towards Iran, both independently and in coordination with each other. The webinar was a closed-door program for Congressional staff and members of the European academic, policy, and think tank community. It was conducted under the Chatham House Rule.
