Speakers:
Iran has entered a new phase of strategic uncertainty after successful Israeli and American military operations dismantled the Islamic Republic’s nuclear infrastructure, fractured its proxy network, and significantly weakened its position in the region.
Senior Fellows Michael Doran, Bryan Clark, and Can Kasapoğlu will explore the implications of this shift for the United States, Israel, and their partners and discuss how Iran might respond.
