In today’s episode of the Expert Series, we convene three experts to discuss the escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
Behnam Ben Taleblu, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies, Dr. Thomas Juneau, Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, and Peter Jones, Executive Director of the Ottawa Dialogue at the University of Ottawa, join us to discuss the implications of internal developments in Iran and Israel for the wider regional crisis.
With the potential of a full-scale regional war looming, discussion warned of the range of actors and conditions that could be the catalyst for its emergence as well as the possibility of an Iranian retaliation and its potential to escalate tensions.
