A panel of academic experts is brought together by the Middle East Centre at LSE to discuss the current Israel-US-Iran war.

The panel will delve into the geopolitical dynamics shaping the conflict and its potential consequences at both regional and international levels. It will discuss how widely the war may become entrenched across the region beyond its first, tactical phase, affecting the domestic politics of its key players. It will examine how the war will reshape regional power balances, alliances and security structures across the Middle East. Finally, the panel will analyse the war’s impact on theatres of conflict in Europe and Asia and the way it will affect an international order already in flux.
