Foreign Policy Research Institute A Nation Must Think Before it Acts Israel, Iran, and What Comes Next for the Region

Israel, Iran, and What Comes Next for the Region

June 17, 2025 | 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

About the Event

Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities this week, killing senior Iranian leaders, and raising questions about the future of the Middle East. How much damage is Israel doing? How stable is Iran? And what is the role of the United States in mitigating tension or defending Israel.

Join Dr. Aaron Stein, FPRI president, and Dr. Afshon Ostovar, FPRI senior fellow and author of Wars of Ambition: The United States, Iran, and the Struggle for the Middle East, for a special briefing on the crisis.
