Channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow is to give the 2012 Tim Garden Memorial Lecture on the theme: 'Time To Rethink Iran?'
"For the three decades since the Islamic Revolution, the West has failed to develop a policy beyond ostracisation.
"For three decades Iran has been perceived as a threat rather than any thread that might lead to the resolution of any of the towering problems in the region. Is oblivion the only way, or is there evidence that engagement might chart another way?
"Jon Snow, who was reporting from Iran during the Revolution and the subsequent US Hostage Crisis, and who has been to Iran on a number of occasions since - including to interview President Ahmadinejad several times - will attempt a new perspective, informed by events that range from to Syria to Pakistan and beyond."
