Newsmaker on Aug. 3 to discuss Iran nuclear deal's far-reaching fallout

A former international nuclear inspector, Iranian opposition figure, and the former Commander of the USS Cole will review the Iran nuclear deal's impact -- on regional security, nuclear weapons verification challenges and on the Iranian people -- at a Newsmakers news conference on Monday, Aug. 3 at 10:30 a.m.

The panel discussion, to be held in the Zenger Room, will feature widely-respected nuclear inspector, Dr. Olli Heinonen of Harvard’s Belfer Center, who served as deputy director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); Commander Kirk Lippold, who was the commanding officer of the USS Cole when it was attacked by terrorists in Yemen in 2000; and Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the U.S. office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, who first exposed the major nuclear sites of Iran in Natanz and Arak in 2002 and is the author of `The Iran Threat.'

Like all Newsmakers events, this news conference is open to credentialed media and NPC members, free of charge. No advance registration is required.
