The Crisis in U.S.-Iran Relations: Is Trump Taking Us to War?

On May 8, 2019, CMES hosted retired Ambassador John Limbert for a discussion on U.S.-Iran relations in the age of Trump.

John Limbert is a career Foreign Service Officer. In 1979, he was posted at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and was captured along with 51 other Americans and held for 444 days. He holds the Department of State’s highest award—the the Distinguished Service Award—as well as the Award for Valor, which he received for his service during the hostage crisis.

Ambassador Limbert is the author of Iran: At War with History (Westview Press, 1987), Shiraz in the Age of Hafez (University of Washington Press, 2004), and, most recently, Negotiating with Iran: Wrestling the Ghosts of History (United States Institute of Peace Press, 2009). Limbert currently serves as Professor of International Affairs at the U.S. Naval Academy.
