On 15 May 2024, I was in Sydney, Australia, where I spoke at the Centre for Independent Studies about the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. I analyzed both the war in Gaza, which started on October 7 and continues to rage; and the fighting between Iran on one side and Israel and the US on the other side, that took place between 1 April and 19 April 2024.
I then assessed the consequences of these two conflicts for Israel, the US, and Iran.
Editor’s Note: This is a very informative and insightful talk. I learned a lot. ~EG
