On the night of June 12, the Israeli military conducted widespread strikes on sites in Iran that targeted the country’s nuclear program and its senior military leadership. This attack, and subsequent retaliation by Iran, has set off an unprecedented exchange of intense missile strikes between Iran and Israel, which risks escalating into a larger regional conflict. Please join the Institute of Global Politics and the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA for the first in a series of Rapid Response expert panels to discuss what is known about the specifics of Israel’s strikes on Iran, Iran’s responses to the strikes, and their implications– for US national security, geopolitics in the Middle East and around the world, and global energy markets.
