The Geopolitical Implications of Iran’s Attack on Israel
Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel over the weekend has opened a new and more dangerous chapter in the current Middle East crisis. What were Iran’s calculations as it sought to hit back after Israel’s April 1 airstrike on its consulate in Damascus? How might Israel respond in the short and long term to this unprecedented direct attack by Tehran? What role did the US and its allies play in mitigating the impact, and how has that affected regional security calculations? Finally, what military strengths and weaknesses did the attack reveal in both countries?
Please join us for a panel discussion with a distinguished group of MEI scholars on the regional and international implications of Iran’s attacks and what can be expected in terms of policy responses. We look forward to welcoming you to this timely and important discussion.
