Speakers:
As the United States and Israel continue to strike Iran, the strategic landscape in the Middle East is shifting rapidly. In this conversation, Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East Senior Fellows Michael Doran and Can Kasapoğlu will discuss the evolving military situation in Iran and the wider region. Kasapoğlu will assess how Iranian forces are responding to the strikes, the role of the IRGC in a potential post-Khamenei order, and what indicators analysts should watch in the coming weeks.
The discussion will also explore the sustainability of Iran’s missile and drone campaigns, the limits of air-defense systems, and the strategic choices facing the United States and its allies as the conflict unfolds.
Join us for a timely military briefing on one of the most consequential crises shaping the future of the Middle East.
