The recently reached interim agreement between Iran and five permanent United Nations Security Council members plus Germany, to temporarily restrict Iran’s nuclear program, has caused much debate within the United States and internationally.

Among the co-signers of the letter are current and former Carnegie Corporation Trustees. Read a copy of the letter.
