26-Mar-2026
After weeks of military strikes, targeted killings, and rising tensions that have caused major global economic impacts, President Trump has announced progress with the Iranian leadership that could point to a path toward ending the conflict. But what happens next when a war appears to be winding down: resolution or repositioning?
Join us for a timely session as we explore what this pivotal moment means for the region and the world. This expert-led discussion will examine the prospects for a ceasefire, the strategic aims behind recent U.S. actions, and whether current developments represent a real turning point or a temporary detour in a rapidly changing conflict. The conversation will also consider the broader geopolitical implications for key regional players, global alliances, energy markets, and international stability. There will also be time for live audience Q&A, allowing YPOers to engage directly with expert insights.
By attending this event, you will:
- Assess the likelihood of de-escalation and the measures needed to sustain it.
- Evaluate the implications for key stakeholders, alliances, and markets.
- Understand U.S. objectives and whether they have been achieved.
Gain insights into what to monitor as the situation develops.
Stay ahead of the shift.
