Has the Iran war transformed the Middle East's future? | State of Play

The war with Iran has roiled the economies of the Middle East, shattered trust between Iran and Arab Gulf states, challenged security arrangements, and highlighted the region's geopolitical importance. But looking ahead, how much has the war really changed the region's future, and what is likely to remain more constant? Will the war force Arab Gulf states to adjust their investment and aid strategies? What are the future of diplomatic relations between Iran and Arab states? Will Gulf states look to diversify their security partnerships or double down on the United States? And will the region play a different role in international relations going forward?

The CSIS Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department invites you to a live episode of State of Play to explore the future of the Middle East on Tuesday 21 April at 3:30pm EDT. The discussion will feature CSIS Middle East Program experts Mona Yacoubian, Vali Nasr, Michael Ratney, Susan Ziadeh, and Will Todman.

This event is made possible through general support to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
