Assessing Xi’s unprecedented purges of China’s military: Key developments and potential implications
Against a backdrop of massive U.S. military buildup in the Middle East, the U.S. and Iran are engaged in a series of high-stakes nuclear negotiations. U.S. President Donald Trump appears poised to order military strikes on Iran for the second time in less than one year. Meanwhile, the Iranian people remain traumatized by the regime’s brutal crackdown in January, when Iranian security forces killed thousands of protesters. What does the Trump administration hope to achieve with diplomacy or force? What will this choice mean for Iran, the broader Middle East, and the fraught relationship between Washington and Tehran?
On Tuesday, March 3, join the Foreign Policy program at Brookings for a discussion about the implications of a potential strike, the likelihood of ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran, and how military action would impact both the Iranian regime and the Iranian people.
