Please join the CSIS Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department for a discussion on the future of the “Axis of Upheaval” after the Israel-Iran conflict on Monday, June 30, from 3:00 to 4:00pm EDT. Dr. Victor Cha, Mona Yacoubian, Dr. Maria Snegovaya, and Brian Hart will discuss what the conflict has revealed about the strength of the so-called “Axis of Upheaval” between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. They will also assess what lessons these states will learn from the conflict, what choices they have, and what the future of ties between them will look like. 

This event is made possible through the generous support of CSIS.
