After more than one year into Hassan Rouhani’s presidency we will have a closer look on the reality in Iran: What is actually left of the "promises for reform"? What is the current status of the nuclear program and the negotiations with the West? Which role does the situation in Syria and Iraq play for the Iranian regime’s regional expansion?
