Webinar - Economic Impacts of the U.S.-Iran MOU: Global, Regional, National
9 July 2026 - 10:00 Washington, 14:00 London, 17:00 Dubai
A moderated discussion featuring:
Stephen Fallon: Founder of DBM Consulting and an Associate Fellow at the Bourse & Bazaar Foundation. Previously the Chief Compliance Officer at INSTEX.
Josh Kram: Managing Director of Westbrook Global Advisory. Previously Senior Advisor for Strategy and Policy at the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and Vice President, International Strategy & Global Partnerships at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Delaney Simon: Senior Analyst for the US Program at the International Crisis Group, where her research focuses in part on U.S. approaches to sanctions termination.
On 17 June, the President Trump and President Pezeshkian signed the Islamabad Memorandum, a framework agreement that establishes terms for further negotiations between the United States and Iran, including cessation of military strikes, the lifting of the blockades in the Strait of Hormuz, and the provision of interim sanctions relief.
Nearly halfway through the 60 days allotted for the negotiations, the Bourse & Bazaar Foundation is convening a 75-minute webinar with Stephen Fallon, Josh Kram, and Delaney Simon. Moderated by Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, the panel will examine the potential global, regional, and national economic impacts of the U.S.-Iran MOU. The speakers will interpret the economic provisions of the agreement and discuss the interim sanctions relief to be received by Iran, including the newly issued general license, GL-X. Given the historic risks and lingering effects of sanctions, the panelists will also discuss the feasibility of full sanctions termination for Iran, and the conditions that international and American businesses might require to pursue economic opportunities in Iran.
Time will be allocated for audience questions. This webinar will be held under the Chatham House Rule and will not be recorded. To participate, please register by clicking the button below.
