Iranian challenges

In the run up to the presidential elections in Iran, the result of which was declared on 24 June 2005, the EU Institute for Security Studies held a Seminar on 'Iranian Challenges' in Paris, on 20 May 2005. The objective of the seminar was to propose a comprehensive analysis of Iran (strategic geographical position, nuclear policy as well as consequences for the transatlantic dimension). The conference was designed to encourage a frank exchange of views, involving experts and officials from the EU, and provide further 'food for thought' for the decision-makers.
