Our programs provide interdisciplinary, intersectional, and cross-cutting analysis of the true causes and unforeseen consequences of conflict.

Spoke to @kpfaradio about US-Iran diplomacy that started last weekend in Oman and is set to pick up again this Saturday. This is a rare opportunity for both sides to move towards peace and away from the dangerous path to military conflict and war.

@CIPolicy’s statement:
Witkoff says Iran can’t enrich above 3.67%. IAEA’s Grossi heads to Tehran this week. Iran's moving on FATF bills. Talks have regional & global support, excluding Israel.
If the dismantlement idea is gone, a deal building on the JCPOA could come together faster than expected.
