War with Iran: What It Means and What Comes Next

The US-Israel attack on Iran on February 28 has pushed the Middle East into one of its most dangerous moments in decades. The subsequent death of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and intense strikes from both sides across the Middle East have raised fears of a wider conflict with global consequences.

In this Pop-up Event, a panel of regional experts will unpack what the war means for Iranians, the Middle East, and global stability.

Featured Panelists:

  • Dr. Robert Farley, Senior Lecturer in Diplomacy and National Security, Patterson School of Diplomacy

  • Dr. Maryam Moazzen, Associate Professor and expert on Shi‘i educational institutions and religious authorities, University of Louisville

  • Rob Givens, Brigadier General, retired US Air Force Officer 

As a nonpartisan organization dedicated to informed public dialogue, the World Affairs Council convenes conversations that help our community understand the forces shaping our world, especially in moments when events are moving quickly.

Join us for a timely conversation that will provide context, perspective, and thoughtful discussion during a rapidly evolving crisis.
