Directions to AEI

The dramatic changes in Iraq and Afghanistan are putting new pressures on Iran’s mullahcracy at a time when 70 percent of Iran’s population is already openly opposed to the clerical regime.

What lies ahead for Iran? What steps can the United States take to promote democratization and regime change in Iran? These and other policy challenges will be addressed in a full-day conference with some of the world’s leading experts on Iran, terrorism, international relations, and foreign policy. This event will be cohosted by Hudson Institute, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, and the American Enterprise Institute.
