Since 1979, Iran’s theocratic regime has waged political, ideological, and military campaigns against Israel and the United States. The October 7, 2023 Hamas attack marked a deadly escalation, prompting Israel to strike hard at Iran and its proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, while the Assad regime in Syria collapsed. The Trump administration’s destruction of Iran’s nuclear plants further curbed its ambitions, yet Tehran’s anti-Israel and anti-U.S. stance remains unchanged. Will Iran rebuild its nuclear program and military power? Will proxies regain strength? Could new alliances form, with Saudi Arabia and Syria moving toward normalization with Israel? In this timely lecture, Dr. Rabil examines shifting Middle East dynamics and explores possible scenarios for the region’s future security and stability.
