    The first country visited by an American president in the Persian Gulf was Iran in 1943. We were partners in the war. For several decades Iran was America’s closest ally in the Middle East but since 1978 the two have been estranged. This year the United States bombed Iran in collaboration with Israel. This talk will trace the evolution of the relationship between the United States and Iran from the Second World War to today. It will conclude with several challenges that the United States will likely encounter as we move forward. Bruce Riedel will draw on his decades of working on Iran for the CIA, the White House, and think tanks.

    This event will take place in the Hynson Lounge.
