The discussion will be moderated by Al Arabiya’s Nadia Bilbassy.

Panelists will address the recent drawdown of U.S. troops along the Turkish-Syrian border, the escalation of anti-government protests in Iraq, the achievements to date of the U.S. “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran, and foreign influence efforts being implemented in the region by U.S. adversaries. The discussion will also assess how these recent developments are impacting U.S. relations with its allies, both inside and outside of the region.
