Persian Gulf Security Issues
Tuesday, April 20, 6:30 pm

The Persian Gulf remains tense as the rivalry between the regional powers of Saudi Arabia and Iran continues. Tensions escalated in early 2020 as the US intervened in the Gulf, launching an airstrike killing 2 Iranian military commanders. What are the historical influences that led to these tensions? What role, if any, should the US play? Is using military force a viable foreign policy option? Presented by Gary Sick, senior research scholar at Columbia University's Middle East Institute. Organized by the International Relations Council. Register here<https://global.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b7c44c7f49b2f0eb9abcf6740&id=c6b8c28968&e=fdf33509f5>.

Iran: Red Teaming From the Inside Out
Thursday, April 22, 9:00 am-3:00 pm

The timing of this colloquium is intentional--the US is at a critical juncture. The Biden campaign vowed to return to the JCPOA, but the US and Iran are locked in a standoff. “Red teaming” is an analytic tool used in the US Intelligence Community to challenge assumptions and ignore disconfirming evidence. This colloquium will provide a framework for examining the Iranian security challenge from myriad perspectives. Organized by the International Relations Council.
