40] – More than a year has passed since Joe Biden took office and the United States has yet to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal, or JCPOA. While U.S. and European powers are warning that time is running out and hint at a potential shift toward a Plan B, Tehran insists that assurances must be provided that the United States will honor its commitments to the agreement this time around. The Raisi government has proven a more uncompromising counterpart than its predecessor and the Biden negotiating team has few insights into its calculations and political limitations. What are the political constraints of the Raisi government and how do they shape Iran’s negotiating position? How has the economic impact of America’s maximum pressure shaped the politics of Iran, and in extension, Tehran’s diplomatic maneuverability? And what options do the U.S. and its European allies have if the JCPOA talks collapse?
On Thurs., Feb. 3 at 1 PM ET, get answers at Are the JCPOA Negotiations on Their Last Legs? [Online]. THIS EVENT is sponsored by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft with speakers Nathalie Tocci, Special Advisor to EU High Representative Josep Borrell; Hadi Kahalzadeh, Brandeis University; and Narges Bajoghli, Johns Hopkins University. Trita Parsi, Quincy, will moderate. RSVP at https://quincyinst.org/event/is-the-jcpoa-on-its-last-legs/.

45] – Join the Webinar on Thurs., Feb. 3 at 6:30 PM ET with Camila Saab, wife of Venezuela diplomat and US political prisoner Alex Saab, & Puerto Rican former political prisoner Oscar Lopez Rivera. Alex Saab is a Venezuelan diplomat the US government has illegally seized and imprisoned for what the US considers “violation” of the illegal US economic warfare on Venezuela. He was in fact assisting Venezuela in legally working around the US blockade on his country by finding the means to import food, medicine, and materials for the Venezuelan oil industry. The US is seeking to coerce Alex Saab into disclosing the methods Venezuela uses to circumvent the US-Canadian-European sanctions with the goal of further tightening the economic blockade and suffering on the Venezuelan people.
