Connect and engage with others\, share your thoughts\, and explore how we can secure our global future. \n\n\n\nTopic: The Iran Question\n\n\nThis weekend’s U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran – which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior leaders – have shaken the region and plunged the world into uncertainty. Iran and its allies have retaliated with missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases and military sites across the region\, while the U.S. President weighs an extended war against Iran. Do these strikes open the door for regime change in Iran\, or is the Middle East now headed towards a wider war? What comes next for regional stability\, global oil markets\, and international security?\nThis is a no-homework event\, but supplemental readings will be provided to attendees\n\n\n\nThe Details: \nWhen: Monday\, March 9th | 6-7:30PM\nWhere: McCarter & English\, LLP\, Stamford\, CT\nTickets: $20 Members\, $30 Non-members | Registration required\nSpace is limited \nReserve your spot today \n\n\n \n\nUpcoming Second Mondays:\nMarch 9th - *Topic TBA\n*Topics will be announced 1 week prior to events. \n\nPast Second Mondays:\nFebruary 9th - Is 'The West' Over?\nJanuary 12th - What Just Happened in Venezuela? \n2025\nDecember 8th - Global Inequality & its Impacts on Societal Stability\nNovember 10th - Nuclear Deterrence in the Age of Drones\nOctober 13th - A New Era of U.S. Foreign Policy\nSeptember 15th - Counterterrorism or Extra-Legal Killings: When Do Strikes on Non-State Targets Cross the Line?\nJune 9th - What's at stake in the India-Pakistan conflict?\nMay 12th - So many elections - what do they all mean?\nApril 28th (Special Edition) – Sudan’s Civil War & Sub-Saharan Africa after USAID\nApril 14th - The Future of Immigration Policy\nMarch 10th - NATO's Uncertain Future\nFebruary 10th – The End of USAID?\nJanuary 13th – Greenland\, the Panama Canal\, and The Future of Immigration Policy \n2024\nDecember 9th – A Rebalancing in the Middle East and the Taiwan Question\nNovember 12th – Foreign Policy in a New Administration\nOctober 14th – The World After the U.S. Election\nSeptember 30th – Worldwide Efforts to Battle - or Embrace - Disinformation\nJuly 15th – The Climate Crisis & Global Instability\nJune 10th – Potential Flash Points - How is the U.S. positioned and what happens next?\nMay 20th – Democratic Systems at a Crossroad\nApril 8th – War in Gaza: How did we get here?\nMarch 11th – Western Consensus on Ukraine: What’s Next? \n\nMission Partners\n\nSupport global engagement in Connecticut by contacting CEO Megan Torrey about sponsorship opportunities. \n\nStay Globally Involved\nRenew your membership or become a member on our website. As a member of the World Affairs Council of Connecticut\, you can get exclusive access to events and travel opportunities\, build relationships with local leaders and global dignitaries\, and join our community of global citizens.
