Foreign Policy Challenges for the New Administration: Iran and the Middle East
March 5-6, 2009
Cabot Intercultural Center, Tufts University, Medford Campus
The purpose of this conference is to identify issues that,
in light of a new American administration, will be of
concern to Americans in 2009, specifically the continuing
confrontation between the United States and Iran. The
U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and subsequent
developments in that country have had a significant impact
on Iran’s position and policy there. Yet, American and
Iranian interests and policies have collided in the Gulf and
in the Eastern Mediterranean region, as well. Nuclear issues
in particular have brought the United States and Iran into
renewed confrontation. The conference will address these
concerns and how the new administration can take steps to
change the dynamic in a helpful way.
