By request, PJCC’s favorite expert Avi Melamed will join us this week to discuss the war with Iran.
The Middle East is entering one of the most dangerous and unpredictable moments in decades. How did the region reach this point — and what might happen next? In this special briefing, Middle East analyst Avi Melamed explains the regional chain reaction triggered by the October 7 attack and the escalating confrontation between Israel, Iran, and Iran’s network of militias across the Middle East.
To understand this moment, Avi offers a powerful analogy: the Second Iran War resembles a high-stakes poker game, in which Iran, Israel, and the Arab Gulf states are each playing their strategic cards while trying to anticipate the moves of their rivals. In clear, engaging apolitical language, Avi helps audiences move beyond headlines to understand what the key players are trying to achieve and what the possible outcomes may be of this conflict.
