SUMMARY:Special Colloquium | Iran: From the Inside Out | Apr 22
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee World Affairs Council is pleased to offer this important global affairs awareness program produced by the International Relations Council\, Kansas City\, a sister organization in the network of World Affairs Councils of America.  \nWe extend special thanks to friends at IRC KC for including TNWAC in this world-class presentation.  \nIran From the Inside Out\n\nThursday\, April 22\, 2021\n9:00 am – 3:00 pm CT\nJoin this special event for a discussion of this important global issue. \n \nThe timing of this colloquium is intentional – the US is at a critical juncture. The new Biden administration has rare bipartisan support from Congress – support for a fresh policy that reinstates limits on Iran’s nuclear program\, curtails its ballistic missile program\, and addresses its malign behavior throughout the Middle East – all this coinciding with upcoming presidential elections in the Islamic Republic. \nParticipants include:\n\n\n\nRobin Wright\, USIP – Wilson Center\nHossein Mousavian\, Princeton University\nChris Hoch\, ODNI\nEbtesam Al-Ketbi\, Emirates Policy Center\nBilal Saab\, Middle East Institute\nMartin Indyk\, Council of Foreign Relations\nJon Alterman\, CSIS\nLucille Greer\, Wilson Center\nMark Katz\, George Mason\nFathollah-Nejad\, Brookings Institute\nAlex Vatanka\, Middle East Initiative\nSusan Maloney\, Council of Foreign Relations\nVali Nasr\, Johns Hopkins SAIS\nBarbara Slavin\, Atlantic Council\n\n“Red teaming” is an analytic tool born from past failures to challenge assumptions\, ignore disconfirming evidence\, and disregard alternative perspectives. The resultant red team framework stress-tests strategies and mitigates group think by examining problem sets from myriad perspectives. \nThe goal of Red Teaming Iran: From the Inside Out is to “stress-test” participants’ thinking of the Iranian security challenge by examining it from the eyes of myriad perspectives: the Iranian perspective\, the Middle East perspective\, the P5+1 perspective\, and finally – how these perspective might inform the US perspective. ​ \nFormat: Virtual \n\n\n\n\nProgram Schedule\n9-9:15 a.m. CT: Introduction: Chris Hoch\, National Intelligence Officer for Iran\, ODNI \n9:15-10:15 a.m. CT: Keynote Discussion: The Iranian perspective \n\nHow Does Iran View Itself? (15 minutes) Robin Wright\, USIP – Wilson Center\nHow Does Iran View Its Neighbors? (15 minutes) Hossein Mousavian\, Princeton University\nModerated Q&A (30 minutes) Chris Hoch\, ODNI\n\n10:15 a.m.-11:45 a.m. CT: Panel 1: Middle East perspective: GCC & Israel \n\nHow Do the GCC View Iran?
