Iran, Its Nuclear Ambitions, the Region, and the West
31 March - 1 April 2006
Princeton, New Jersey

LISD sponsored the private, off-the-record conference, "Iran, Its Nuclear Ambitions, the Region and the West," on March 31 and April 1, 2006. A public roundtable discussion was co-sponsored with the Woodrow Wilson School on March 30. During two days of intensive discussions, conference participants engaged with the pressing issues stemming from Iran's nuclear aspirations. The meeting focused on four broad dimensions of the Iranian nuclear situation: Iran’s perception of itself and its role in the region; Iran's interstate relations, especially within the Middle East and Central Asia; technical facets and possibilities to diffuse the crisis; and the military options available for addressing Iran’s nuclear objectives. The conference brought together high-level diplomats, representatives from the UN Security Council and UN permanent missions, academics, and policy experts from more than a dozen nations, including the United States, European Union, Israel, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and Iran. A special feature of the Friday sessions was a video link with the Geneva Center for Security Policy in Switzerland and the viewing of an address made there by Manouchehr Mottaki, the Foreign Minister of Iran. A highlight of the Saturday sessions was the participation via video link of Javad Zarif, Permanent Representative of Iran to the UN.
