A New-Normal: The Israel-Iran Clashes Are More Important Than You Realise

The Israel-Iran’s clashes in April 2024 were unprecedented for the Middle East and geopolitics. I debated its significance with Bilal Saab - professor at Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service & Dr Sanam Vakil - Director of Chatham House’s MENA programme, in this dynamic, wide-ranging talk.

It become very clear why both countries, alongside every other caught in-between are dramatically reassessing their strategic decisions in this new state of permacrisis.
