b'Amid a global pandemic severely afflicting both public health and the global economy, US tensions with Iran have not abated. On the contrary, only four months after the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, the Trump administration appears to be increasing pressure on the government of Iran through the threat of increased sanctions. Would the Trump administration\\u2019s maximum pressure campaign on Iran cease in a Biden administration? What can compel Iran to come back to the negotiating table? Can Iran be compelled to abandon any nuclear ambitions?\\n\\nTo discuss these issues, USSC hosted a webinar discussion featuring Ambassador Wendy Sherman, the lead negotiator of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between the P5+1, known as the Iran Deal, in a conversation with USSC Non-Resident Senior Fellow Bruce Wolpe and USSC CEO Professor Simon Jackman.'
