Planners of the event said:

“The Nuclear Deal with Iran will have an unprecedented geo-strategic impact. As Americans, we should be informed about the deal so we understand the implications on the U.S., Israel and the world.

“We’ve brought together some of our community’s most thoughtful experts to answer our most critical questions:

· Will this deal prevent the next war—or lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East?

· Will it bring about true détente or legitimize state-sponsored terror?

· Will it make us more safe or less?”
