US, Israel, Iran, and the Middle East at War
A Crown Center Teach-In

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran, prompting Iranian missile and drone retaliation against Israel and countries in the Gulf. In the days since, the war has widened and engulfed Lebanon and Iraq.
Join us for a campus teach-in with scholars from the Crown Center for Middle East Studies. The panel will offer context and analysis to help make sense of a conflict whose implications are still unfolding, along with space for student questions and discussion.
