The war between the United States Israel and Iran has become a defining stress test for regional stability and international crisis management. Against this backdrop, Aspen Germany convened an expert roundtable to examine the geopolitical and geo-economic implications of the war and discuss possible pathways toward de-escalation.
The discussion brought together analysts and practitioners from government, academia, and the private sector, including Dr. Cornelius Adebahr, Independent Consultant and Analyst, Prof. Dr. Reza Asghari, Member of the German Bundestag, Prof. Dr. Naika Foroutan, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Dr. Hans Jakob Schindler, Counter Extremism Project, and Simon Vaut, Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
Participants explored the broader regional consequences of the conflict, including its impact on trade routes, energy markets, sanctions, migration dynamics, and Europe’s strategic positioning. The discussion also addressed the uncertainty surrounding Iran’s domestic trajectory and the growing challenges for regional stability and international coordination.
