In a recent interview with HuffPost Live, AIC Director of Communications Kayvon Afshari discussed various aspects of the nuclear deal with Iran, including the lobbying effort by AIPAC, the US relationship with Saudi Arabia, and the need for the US to move beyond the nuclear issue with Iran. He says, "I think that it's essential for this nuclear deal to serve as an opportunity to pivot from purely nuclear, like centrifuges, uranium, all those technical issues, to all the broader issues because those need to be dealt with. I worry that if those broader issues are not dealt with and the core mistrust between Iran and the United States is not dealt with, this deal could fall apart and some conflict...could happen that makes the deal potentially fall apart."
