- **Event Description**: Join us to dive into a timely and measured examination of U.S.-Iran relationsAbout this EventA timely and measured examination of how U.S.-Iran relations reached their current impasse and what it will take to move beyond years of distrust.The United States and Iran have been locked in a decades-long standoff, fueled by missteps, misunderstandings, and clashing ambitions. In these pages a leading Iranian expert clarifies the dynamics driving a conflict that has devastated the Middle East and destabilized the world.Behrooz Ghamari explores the history of US intervention in the region, focusing on the continuing sanctions imposed on Iran and, behind them, US policymakers' persistent perception of the Islamic Republic as a major obstacle to American power. Despite the repressive policies of the Iranian state, he contends, Iranian society has remained vibrant with active intellectual, cultural, and social justice movements. The roots of US-Iranian rivalry lie elsewhere.Challenging the conventional image of Iran as a monolithic totalitarian regime, this timely study calls for a more informed, nuanced approach to Middle East diplomacy.Behrooz Ghamari is joining us on the Busboys stage. Copies of the book will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Ghamari will be signing following the program.This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of LONG WAR ON IRAN will be available for purchase before and after the event.
