The pause in negotiations to revive the Iran nuclear deal offers an opportunity to reassess America’s strategy in the Middle East. With our Gulf partners turning toward Beijing, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine unsettling the region’s major actors, and a freshly empowered Iran on the horizon, it is high time to examine U.S. assumptions, goals and policies regarding our allies and adversaries. How does the war in Ukraine impact the Middle East? How has American policy, toward Iran especially, influenced the region’s major players? Join us for this timely discussion.
Recorded on March 17, 2022.
