In the early hours of Friday, Israel began a series of strikes on Iranian military and nuclear targets, culminating in the killing of top army and political leaders. The attacks, dubbed Operation Rising Lion, had been widely suggested—as threats—but few experts expected them to take place while Iranian nuclear talks with the United States were still underway.
How might Tehran respond? How do the attacks reshape power dynamics in the Middle East? Join FP Live for a discussion with Vali Nasr, a professor at Johns Hopkins University who has advised several U.S. presidents and secretaries of state on Middle East policy. Nasr is the author, most recently, of Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History.
