This event has passed.
Over the last several weeks, Washington has watched with growing alarm as its two principal partners in Iraq – the Kurdistan Regional Government and the central government in Baghdad – stood poised at the brink of war. Amidst fears that this conflict could destabilize Iraq, undermine the war against ISIS, and open the way for increased Iranian influence in the region, Washington has struggled to develop a coherent response to rapidly unfolding events.
A panel of experts on the region will discuss what these events mean for U.S. policy and how Washington can respond.
