Abstract:
On July 14, 2015, The P5+1 group of world powers and Iran have signed a comprehensive nuclear agreement, aiming to limit Iran’s ability to advance its nuclear program towards achieving nuclear weapons. I will present an analysis of the underlying logic of the agreement, of its content, and of its effectiveness. The main goal of the presentation will be to provide a non-professional audience with tools, that will enable them to reach informed conclusions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the agreement.
