The United States needs an Iran strategy, not a ‘campaign’
SWJ-El Centro Associate Alma Keshavarz has a new op-ed at the Atlantic Council blog on the need for a revamped Iran strategy. Keshavarz, a post doctoral fellow at the Institute for Politics and Strategy at Carnegie Mellon University, argues that the US needs better policy advice and more engaged diplomacy to implement a strategy that explain US goals while articulating a clear means of achieving those goals in the aftermath of the US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iranian proxy attacks against the US, and the US killing of Quds Force head Major General Qasem Solemani. Dr. Keshavarz’s op-ed is available here.
