Iran and COVID-19: Mr Marc Finaud

Описание: This video clip is a segment from a full webinar on the impact of COVID-19 on the Middle East, part 2 of our Covid-19 Webinar Series: Global Crisis, Global Risk and Global Consequences

Covid-19 Crisis: Global Crisis, Global Risk and Global Consequences is a new webinar series that examines various possible and visible consequences of the current crisis including its strategic and economic implications, impact on global governance, on gender or the role of technology.

Mr Marc Finaud is the Head of Arms Proliferation at the GCSP. He discusses Iran’s reaction to this crisis, the economic impact on Iran, the impact on JCPOA and the impact of COVID-19 on Iran’s strategy.

Since its emergence Covid-19 has already fundamentally changed the fabric of our society and impacted the global geopolitical landscape, but in what ways?

The last decade, the Middle East was marked by the consequences of the uprisings of the so-called Arab Spring. Many governments were weakened, some were replaced and conflicts erupted in Syria or in Yemen. This webinar episode will deal with the potential impact the current coronavirus crisis might have on the Middle East in this new decade and especially on US-Iran relations, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries-Iran relations, the conflicts in Syria and Yemen, the domestic stability of Arab countries, the future of oil, or the empowerment or weakening of non-state actors and terrorist organizations.
