On Wednesday, June 18 at 9:00 a.m. ET the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative will host a conversation examining the fast-moving developments between Iran and Israel and the broader implications for regional stability.

The conversation will bring together former ambassadors to Iran and the region to unpack the latest events, assess the risk of further escalation, and discuss the choices facing key actors at this critical moment. Panelists will explore how the crisis is reverberating across the region, reshaping diplomatic dynamics, and testing US and allied responses.

What does this moment mean for deterrence in the region? How are regional powers reacting, and what role can diplomacy still play? As events continue to unfold, what are the immediate priorities to avoid a wider conflict? Tune in for this timely discussion on what’s at stake and where things may go next.

This event will be streamed live on Atlantic Council TV, YouTube, Facebook, and X. Please complete the form on this page to register.
