U.S. Policy in the Middle East

In this month’s installment of FPRI's Main Line Briefings, John Nagl will host FPRI’s Middle East Program Director and  Director of Research, Aaron Stein, for a discussion on U.S. Policy in the Middle East. As the Biden administration prepares to take charge, they will inherit a U.S. Strategy in the region that is starkly different from the one President Trump inherited from his predecessor. And yet, many of the problems remain the same. How has the recent announcement of troop withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan affected our ability to achieve a lasting peace? How have the Abraham Accords reshaped the centers of power throughout the region? Will the US rejoin the Iran Deal? These questions and yours will guide our conversation on one of the most complicated regions in the world.
