PLEASE NOTE THE REVISED TIME.   THE EVENT START TIME HAS BEEN MOVED TO 6:30 PM

These days, it can be a struggle to tell whether relations with Iran are moving closer to or farther from war. In recent months, the U.S. has marked the elite Iranian Quds force as a terrorist group and pushed for stronger sanctions at the United Nations, while engaging in direct talks with Iranian officials in Iraq and releasing Iranians held by the U.S. military. What do the final months of the Bush administration hold for the U.S. and Iran? Is the President willing to let the counter-proliferation problem fall to his successor, or does he intend to resolve it on his watch?

To discuss these issues and more, please join Danielle Pletka, Vice President for Foreign Policy and Defense Studies. The discussion will be held from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. on Monday, December 3. To attend, please register by responding to events@ypfp.org with your name and affiliation.
