Excellent presentation - clear points with lack of jargon.

So glad you are enjoying the programs, Paul. Thanks for your feedback!

Thoroughly enjoyed the talk. Very good and timely information

Appreciate your comments, Kathy - I agree the questions and answers were especially valuable. Thank you for participating!

This was a well-balanced, stellar presentation and discussion (via the Q&A session) regarding Iran - past, present and future. The beginning overview from Dr. Connell was very informative and valuable to set the context for the "dialogue" during the second half of the session.

Indeed, most significant Iranian threat is its latent nuclear weapon capability, which could be manifested within 12 months maximum. And, good to hear the confirmation that neither Russia or China need Iran as a 'critical success factor' to achieve their own Middle East objectives. Thus, Dr. Connell's conclusion that US should not rejoin JCOPA (under a second Trump or new Biden administration) makes sense - as a means to further deny Iran of financial resources, while seeking further incremental compromises to gain leverage in the near term.

Bottom Line: An excellent and thought-provoking session - balanced and objective - backed by superb preparation from our WACD officers.
