The South Asia Center of the Atlantic Council invites you to the launch of a new white paper by the Iran Task Force on the first 100 days in office of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. The report, by senior fellows Yasmin Alem and Barbara Slavin, states that Rouhani’s first 100 days augur a presidency that is more inclusive, pragmatic, and cautious than that of his predecessors. But his fate ultimately hinges on his ability to salvage Iran’s economy, which depends on surmounting domestic and international obstacles to a peaceful resolution of Iran’s nuclear crisis.

The Iran Task Force, co-chaired by Ambassador Stuart E. Eizenstat, seeks to perform a comprehensive analysis of Iran’s internal political landscape, its role in the region and globally, and any basis for an improved relationship with the West.
