Background

Since entering the White House, the Biden Administration has declared its intent to renew talks with Iran, stating that the US “would accept an invitation from the European Union High Representative to attend a meeting of the P5+1 and Iran to discuss a diplomatic way forward on Iran’s nuclear program.”
 

Renewed talks between the two countries could break the stalemate over Iranian compliance with the agreement and US sanctions against Tehran. Any such negotiations could potentially impact not only the US and Iran but also regional actors such as the Gulf States and Israel.

To assess how different nuclear deal talks scenarios will impact the stability of the Middle East, Wikistrat ran an online simulation of events and responses. 90 leading experts participated, contributing 39 policy proposals and 167 comments in the process of exploring different scenarios of the nuclear talks with Iran and their impact on regional stability.
