| Summary/Abstract |
Over the last two and a half years, negotiators from P5+1 and Iran are trying to reach out a diplomatic solution on the issue of nuclearisation of Iran. The motive behind such an arrangement had been to ensure that Iran’s nuclear ambition remains exclusively peaceful in harmony with the international non-proliferation principles. Iran too, wanted to break out from the shackles of sanctions that had limited its global commerce in the past years. With the conclusion of a nuclear agreement in Vienna, it is expected that Iran will not pursue actions to develop nuclear weapons, at least in the immediate future. Nevertheless, implementation of the agreement requires walking down an even more complicated path than negotiation and is considered to have significant implications for the Middle Eastern region. Given this context, this paper makes an attempt to review the nuclear deal being signed and looks into its future implications.

| Summary/Abstract |
As you saw in today's program announcement, I am a former ambassador to Oman, and I would like to take a moment to note the end of an era in the region — the passing of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos on January 10. For almost 50 years, Sultan Qaboos was a source of great wisdom and counsel to many, including American presidents, who sought his advice to deal with the challenges of the region. I was privileged as ambassador to have the opportunity to do the same. There's no one I respected more in terms of his intelligence, his knowledge and his efforts to try to bring peace and stability to the region than Sultan Qaboos. He will certainly be missed.
