The authors of the report – Middle East Security Program Director Ilan Goldenberg, Energy, Economics, and Security Program Director Elizabeth Rosenberg, Adjunct Researcher Avner Golov, and Research Associates Nicholas Heras and Ellie Maruyama – lay out a comprehensive strategy and concrete recommendations for how the U.S. can maximize the opportunity presented by JCPOA.
