"The Outlook for Peace or Conflict in the Gulf"

Описание: Background and Context
This webinar convenes leading analysts and practitioners from the Arabian Gulf, the broader Middle East, and the United States to examine the evolving strategic environment shaped by intensifying frictions between Washington and Tehran. The discussion will explore the dynamics of military signaling, diplomatic maneuvering, and regional alignments, assessing how these factors interact to influence stability, deterrence, and the prospects for confrontation or restraint. By integrating regional insights with U.S. policy perspectives, the session seeks to offer a refined and forward-looking appraisal of the implications for regional security, energy markets, and the wider international order.
