Iran-Symposium in Vienna

How to Deal With the Iranian Regime?
Symposium
Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Haus der Begegnung Mariahilf
Königseggasse 10, 1060 Vienna
(between Otto-Bauer-Gasse and Loquai-Platz, U3 Zieglergasse, busses 13A, 14A, 59A)

The Western policy toward Iran currently wavers between hesitation, offers for dialogue with the Iranian regime and the preparation of new sanctions. The symposium intends to outline a reasonable approach toward the regime in Tehran. What has changed since the eruption of tensions within different fractions of the regime and the rise of the freedom movement after the election fraud of June 12? What is the current stage of the Iranian nuclear program? What is the role of the Revolutionary Guards in the nuclear program and in Iran’s economy? What could be the effects of tougher sanctions against the regime and whom should they be directed at? Is a regime change the only way to avert the danger emerging from the Iranian regime for the Iranian people, Iran’s neighbors, Israel and the West?

Schedule:

17:30 Ilan Berman: The Nuclear Program and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps in Iran’s Economy
