Chair: Ambassador K.P. Fabian

The ongoing crisis between the US and Iran did bring the world to the brink of a disastrous war in early January 2020. The crisis is not showing any sign of resolution. We shall look into the genesis of the crisis, the dangers it poses to the two countries, the region, the rest of the world, and in particular to India; the role of the external actors and their goals; and how rational diplomacy can help untie this Gordian knot
