Front Porch Lecture Series: Analyzing Iranian Media After U.S. Withdrawal from the Nuclear Deal
How have Iran's domestic politics been impacted by the U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May 2018? Drawing on Iranian media coverage and public statements by Iranian government officials, in this presentation Dr. Robert Asaadi—professor in the Departments of Political Science and International Studies at Portland State University—will analyze the ways in which the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA and the increasing tensions between the U.S. and Iran have shifted the balance of power in Iran’s domestic politics.
