In the last week, the U.S. struck nuclear facilities across Iran and coordinated a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, after more than a week of the two sides exchanging attacks on military sites and cities.
Dr. Steven Cook from the Council on Foreign Relations joins us live to answer all of your questions including:
- Did U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites achieve their objective?
- Can we expect the conflict between Israel and Iran to escalate?
- Is the U.S. at risk of entering an intractable conflict in the Middle East?
- What comes next for Israel, Iran, and the U.S.?
Bring your questions or submit them early to the Council team and join us live on Tuesday, July 1 from 12-12:30pm as we discuss all the breaking developments in the Israel-Iran conflict.
