2025 marks the tenth anniversary of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the landmark nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers.

Join the Freeman Air and Space Institute (FASI) for this online webinar discussion to examine the JCPOA’s legacy and assess how it continues to shape global diplomacy.

Chaired by Dr. Reyhaneh Noshiravani, Research Associate at the Freeman Air and Space Institute, this webinar will explore the arc of the JCPOA — from its 2015 inception as a major diplomatic breakthrough, through the U.S. withdrawal in 2018, and into the complexities of renewed engagement under a second Trump administration.

The discussion will move beyond the agreement itself to examine wider strategic dynamics: Iran’s ballistic missile program, deepening military cooperation with Russia (including drone transfers), and the shifting landscape of international sanctions.

As these challenges evolve, what space remains for diplomacy? What lessons can be drawn from the past decade to navigate today’s more fragmented and volatile geopolitical environment?

Join us for a timely and forward-looking conversation on the future of nonproliferation, deterrence, and diplomacy.
