DESCRIPTION:In early May Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Joint Comprehensive 
 Plan of Action (JCPOA), an agreement between Iran, the U.S. and five other 
 countries which was designed to curtail Iran's development of nuclear 
 weapons. Virtually the entire world supported the agreement, with the noted 
 exception of Israel (which immediately conducted air strikes against Iran) 
 and Saudi Arabia - and now, officially, the U.S. 63% of the American people 
 also supported it.\n\nTrump's Secretary of Defense, Chair of the Joint 
 Chiefs of Staff and over 80 nuclear policy experts joined the International 
 Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in asserting that Iran was keeping up its end 
 of the accord. Despite that, Trump called it, from almost the beginning of 
 his candidacy for President, "the worst deal ever".\n\nWe can speculate on 
 his motivation for that label, with reasons having to do with it not being 
 his deal, or an aversion to giving Obama credit for any such 
 accomplishment. But the more important question now is of what happens 
 next. Will Iran start enriching uranium on a greater scale? Are we headed 
 toward a war at the behest of new Secretary of State George Pompeo and new 
 National Security Adviser John Bolton, both of whom have advocated "regime 
 change" in Iran? Will the rest of the countries involved in the deal 
 (including Iran) pursue its terms?\n\nOn Sunday, June 10, to address such 
 implications and alternatives, Paul George, Executive Director of the 
 Peninsula Peace and Justice Center in Palo Alto, will give a talk entitled 
 "Trump Nukes the Iran Accord: What Happens Next?" Paul will talk about 
 possibilities for war, peace, diplomacy and nuclear proliferation - all 
 among the countless subjects he has addressed in his work at PPJC for close 
 to 30 years and peace and justice work generally for 50 years.\n\nThe UUSM 
 is wheelchair accessible.\n\nFree, contributions welcome.\n
