Gary Samore Discusses Red Lines for Iran's Nuclear Program at the 2013 Aspen Security Forum

| July 17, 2013

Gary Samore, the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs's executive director for research, spoke on a panel entitled "Iran: Crossing the Red Line?" at the Aspen Security Forum in July, 2013.

The panel discussion is available on video here.

The annual Aspen Security Forum brings together government officials from relevant homeland security/counterterrorism agencies, industry leaders, leading thinkers, nationally noted print and broadcast journalists, and concerned citizens at the Aspen Meadows campus in Colorado. Participants discuss various aspects of international security, from intelligence and counterterrorism strategy to cybersecurity, terrorist financing, and more.

The panel, which included Samore along with Ploughshares Fund President Joseph Cirincione, Ambassador Joseph DeTrani, and the Council on Foreign Relations' Ray Takeyh, discussed the effectiveness of sanctions on Iran, the likelihood of war, and how close Iran is to crossing the proverbial “red line” that could trigger an American and/or Israeli military strike.
