In an effort to gain a better understanding of the evolving Iranian society and the options available to the United States in its relations with that country the Iran Democracy Project at Hoover Institution hosted a conference titled “Prospects for Democracy in Iran: Assessing the Regime and the Opposition” on November 2 at the Hoover Institution. The political outlook for Iran, including its nuclear program, the country’s legislation and democracy in Iran, the power structure of Iran’s regime and the clergy, and its civil society, was discussed at the conference.
