Description

Saudi Arabia and Iran are vying for regional dominance. Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. Turkey is cozying up to Russia and China. And instability, conflict, and proxy wars have engulfed Syria, Yemen, and beyond. How should the United States respond to shifting power, proxy wars, terrorism, and human rights issues in the Middle East?

Staged in our “Unresolved” format, this debate brings together five foreign policy experts to tackle pressing questions on geopolitics in the Middle East, including: Is Trump right on Saudi Arabia? Is the world safer without the JCPOA? And is Turkey an asset to NATO?

Debaters:

Michael Doran, Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute

Reuel Marc Gerecht, Senior Fellow, The Foundation for Defense of Democracies & Fmr. CIA Case Officer

Bernard Haykel, Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Princeton University

Brett McGurk, Fmr. Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS

Barbara Slavin, Director, The Future of Iran Initiative, The Atlantic Council
