Iranian experts offer their perspectives on what Tehran’s potential reactions could be to President Biden’s steps on the nuclear and regional front.

After more than two years of “maximum pressure” under the Trump presidency, what are the options for re-engagement with Iran under a Biden presidency? With a prospective return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA,) high on the new US President’s agenda, what is Iran’s potential reaction and what are the likely implications for the region?
