On October 2, 2019, the International Day of Nonviolence, the Abolition 2000 Global Network for the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons held its fourth webinar on issues related to its goals of eliminating nuclear weapons and nuclear power, this time on the crucial issue of the Iran Nuclear Deal, the JCPOA, which came into force in 2015 and which President Trump has apparently dedicated his presidency to destroying.
Three speakers: Emad Kiyaei (Iran) from the Middle East Treaty Organization project; Tarja Cronberg (Finland), from the SIPRI European security program, and; Jamal Abdi, president of the US-based, National Iranian American Council, shared their thoughts on how we have reached the situation we’re in, what the different interests in play are, and how events may pan out in the near future, with the 2020 NPT Review Conference on the horizon. The webinar was moderated by Abolition 2000 Coordinating Committee member, Sharon Dolev (Israel), with the Israeli Disarmament Movement.
