This event has passed.
The president’s decision on the future of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has dominated the discussion in Washington. But recent events also reinforce the need for an American strategy for the broader challenge posed by Iran. Returning some measure of stability to the increasingly fractured Middle East—a vital and enduring U.S. national security interest—requires confronting the spread of Iranian influence.
On May 14 BPC held a discussion on Iran’s influence in Syria and Iraq, and released a report from the Task Force on Managing Disorder in the Middle East on U.S. Policy Toward Iran: Strategic Options
