The Outcome of the Iran Talks and the Next Steps

Wed. December 3rd, 2014
Washington, DC

Negotiators from the P5+1 and Iran have agreed to extend the talks on Iran’s nuclear program to June 2015. Many issues are still to be solved, such as establishing a formula for verifiably limiting Iran’s uranium enrichment capacity as well as an acceptable process for relieving sanctions. Still, all parties to the talks have stressed the need to reach a comprehensive agreement.

The Arms Control Association and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace hosted a briefing with George Perkovich, Karim Sadjadpour, Daryl Kimball, and Elizabeth Rosenberg on the extension of the negotiations and next steps. Kelsey Davenport moderated the discussion.
