Anxiety Over Mixed Messages on Biden JCPOA Return Strategy

As the Board of Directors for the Peace Corps Iran Association, we represent the aspirations for peace and Iranian-American understanding of the 1,800 Peace Corps Volunteers who served in Iran between 1962 and 1976.

Under President Biden the United States has the opportunity, indeed, the obligation, in the interests of both countries to renew diplomacy.
