On September 28, the Middle East Council on Global Affairs held a webinar that convened a panel of experts to analyze Iraq’s prospects of averting a violent escalation that could produce untold suffering. The webinar examined ongoing efforts to form a government, the future of the post-2003 political order, and the role outside actors, like the United States and Iran, can play to de-escalate tensions.
Panelists:
Hafsa Halawa, Non-Resident Scholar, Middle East Institute
Mohammed Shummary, Chairman of SUMERIA Foundation
Matthew Zais, Nonresident Senior Fellow, Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative Atlantic Council
Moderated by
Ranj Alaaldin, Fellow, Middle East Council on Global Affairs
