Escalation in the Middle East: Experts to Examine the Ongoing Israel-Iran Conflict
As Israel's military campaign against Iran intensifies, significant developments have emerged on both strategic and humanitarian fronts. Within days, Israel has made major tactical advances — targeting Iran’s senior military leadership, striking nuclear facilities, disabling rocket and drone systems, and asserting aerial dominance over Tehran. Yet, these victories have come at a high cost at home, with over two dozen casualties and substantial damage reported in central Israel.
With the trajectory of the conflict and Washington’s stance on deeper involvement still unclear, policy experts are convening for a critical conversation.
The upcoming Israel Policy Briefing will feature Raz Zimmt, Director of the Iran Program at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies, and Kenneth Pollack, Vice President for Policy at the Middle East Institute. The session will be moderated by Rachel Brandenburg, Washington Managing Director and Senior Fellow at the Israel Policy Forum.
The discussion aims to assess the evolving military and political dimensions of the war, potential regional consequences, and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
