The Iran War from the Gulf 

1:30 PM – 2:30 PM

Defense and Security, Gulf and Arabian Peninsula

The Middle East Institute (MEI) hosted a webinar on March 18, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM, discussing Gulf perspectives on the war in Iran. As the war enters its third week, the Iranian regime continues to attack its Gulf neighbors with missile, drone, and maritime attacks that risk further destabilizing the region and disrupting global energy markets. How are Gulf publics and governments reacting to these assaults, and how might the conflict reshape the internation relations of the region?

Join experts Mina Al-Oraibi from the UAE and Bader Al-Saif from Kuwait for a discussion on the reactions and responses within Gulf states to the current Iranian offensive campaign. This conversation will be moderated by MEI’s Vice President for Policy, Dr. Ken Pollack.

This session will be on-the-record and open to the public. If you would like to attend the session, please register using the link above. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email.
