G – History
Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | February 4, 2025-May 6, 2025
Tuesday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM
The current war between Israel, Iran and its proxies has sparked new interest in the Middle East and its role in global affairs. Initiatives like Iran’s “ring of fire” or China’s “Belt and Road,” China’s alliances with Iran, Turkey’s unstable NATO membership, starvation and civil war in Yemen are all interconnected, converging through the Mediterranean to Western Europe. Middle East scholars see this as an explosive birthplace of things to come.
