Dr Ibrahimi can discuss the following topics:
- Analysis of the current tensions and conflicts between Iran and Israel.
- The likely impact of Iran-Israel tensions between Israel on the broader Middle East politics.
- General contextual analysis of Iran’s regional policies.
- Analysis of how Iranian domestic contexts and factors shape Iran’s regional foreign policy.
The following can be attributed to Dr Niamatullah Ibrahimi:
“Tensions soared after Iran launched unprecedented drone and missile strikes against Israel. While the attacks caused minimal damage or disruptions in Israel, the symbolic significance of a direct state-to-state assault cannot be ignored. Now, as Israel contemplates its response, the consequences of a full-scale war for the region, global security, and the economy must weigh heavily in policy deliberations in the region and among the global players. Considering the costs of a full-scale war, Israel and its allies may consider a calculated and limited retaliation or even de-escalation rather than a full-fledged conflict. Nevertheless, the region has entered a period of heightened uncertainty.”
