Special Briefing on the War in Iran
Shifting Geopolitical Centers of Gravity
•
07-Mar-2026
The Middle East is at a critical and unstable juncture. Following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that led to the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, the region has entered a more dangerous phase. Iran’s retaliatory actions have heightened the risk of a broader Gulf conflict, with implications for global security, energy markets, and geopolitics.
What are President Trump’s goals in this military effort? How does succession in the Islamic Republic unfold? How are the Iranian people responding in the wake of recent protests and the subsequent crackdown? And what does this crisis mean for the international order?
Join GDN for a timely, moderated panel discussion with experts to analyze this significant turning point in Iran’s history. The discussion will cover leadership in Tehran, regional military risks, possible escalation paths, and the global geopolitical and market impacts. There will also be a live Q&A session, giving YPOers a chance to interact directly with the experts and gain insights relevant to their strategic interests.
By participating, you will:
1. Assess the likelihood of escalation and Gulf involvement.
2. Understand upcoming developments in Iran’s political scene.
3. Comprehend the broader geopolitical and market implications.
4. Prepare to navigate uncertainty in a fast-changing security environment.
This is a defining moment for the region—and the world. Register now.
