What Next in the U.S.-Israeli Confrontation with Iran

A fragile ceasefire has halted Israel’s wide-ranging strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, subsequent U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran’s retaliation with swarms of missiles and drones – violent actions that, over the past two weeks, have pushed the Middle East to the brink of open-ended war. With diplomacy under severe strain as fingers remain on the trigger, what paths lie ahead for a more permanent ceasefire and, possibly, a new nuclear deal? And what are the challenges?

In this webinar, Crisis Group analysts map the plausible scenarios in this confrontation, the potential costs to U.S. power and regional stability, and the urgent choices facing all sides.
