U.S.-Iran Relations
May 5, 2009

While Barack Obama has rejected the Bush administration’s harsh stance toward Iran, panelists 
warn that we’re far from the start of fruitful relations, and that achieving real diplomacy 
will paradoxically require both patience and a sense of urgency. (Note: This panel discussion
was recorded 6 weeks before the 2009 Iranian presidential election.)

"We need to approach Iran in a direct and sustained way to clarify US intentions in the region 
while building confidence and trust. Such an approach will require each side to exercise great 
restraint. Distrust will continue, there will be frequent setbacks, but it could lead to greater 
mutual understanding and a learned capacity to make progress on some of the most pressing 
issues in the region."
-Suzanna DiMaggio
