Behind the Ceasefire: The Hidden Diplomacy of the U.S.-Iran Crisis Presented by Giorgio Cafiero

The Charles W. Hostler Institute on World Affairs invite you to join us for Behind the Ceasefire: The Hidden Diplomacy of the US-Iran Crisis featuring Giorgio Cafiero. Throughout the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, several West Asian countries—Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, Turkey, and Egypt—have served as vital diplomatic bridges between Washington and Tehran, helping preserve dialogue and create pathways for de-escalation. This talk will examine the national interests driving these mediation efforts, the challenges of averting a renewed escalation into full scale war, and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy and the future geopolitical order of West Asia.
