Breadth, Depth, and Effects of New Iran Sanctions

July 20, 2010 – MIIS faculty member and Former Ambassador, Alan Wm. Wolff delivered the opening remarks for a seminar discussing the new sanctions against Iran. The seminar was co-hosted by Dewey & LeBoeuf and the National Foreign Trade Council and included a panel of leading industry experts.

On June 24, 2010, U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act of 2010”, broadening and intensifying U.S. sanctions against Iran. President Obama signed the legislation into law on July 1, 2010, calling them the “toughest sanctions against Iran ever passed by the United States Congress.”

Seminar panelists included Mel Schwechter, Harry Clark, Clark McFadden, Charley Landgraf, and senior advisor Dana Marshall, as well as Bill Reinsch, President of the National Foreign Trade Council.  Attendees from New York, Dubai, Riyadh, Frankfurt, Milan, Moscow, Paris and Warsaw participated via live video conference.
