The recent outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Iran marks a significant escalation in an already volatile region. With Iran’s regional influence and Israel’s strategic alliances with Western powers, the war has the potential to spiral into a broader conflict.

For countries like Pakistan, situated at the crossroads of the Middle East and South Asia, the implications are both strategic and geopolitical. This talk aims to critically examine the strategic objectives of both Israel and Iran, assess the capabilities involved, and explore how the conflict could reshape regional alliances and challenge the credibility of international diplomatic institutions. Following questions would be addressed in this talk:

  1. What are Israel’s strategic objectives and possible endgame in its confrontation with Iran
  2. How capable is Iran in sustaining a direct conflict with Israel?
  3. How has Israel-Iran war impacted the effectiveness of existing international diplomatic frameworks and multilateral organizations?
  4. What lessons can South Asia learn from the rapid escalation between Israel and Iran?
  5. How can Pakistan position itself diplomatically in this conflict?
