Dear John,
We invite you to join us for a special event moderated by Stephen Kinzer, acclaimed journalist and author of All the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror , for a timely conversation on the unfolding events in Iran and how we got here.
The future of Iran and prospects for change or calamity are in a tense and pivotal moment — from the horrific news of thousands of Iranians killed in a government crackdown to threats of U.S. military intervention and calls for outside led regime change. Our panel on January 30th, “ Iran, the U.S., and Israel: How Did We Get Here? ” will bring community members and leading experts together to examine the history driving today’s tensions and possible paths forward.
Join us online next Friday, January 30 at 3:00 PM ET. Register here to receive the Zoom link [[link removed]] . RSVP is required for attendance. RSVP HERE to save your spot [[link removed]]
