The US and the Middle East: What’s next?
2025-05-15 17:00 - 18:30 (America/Chicago) | Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, 6100 Main Street, Houston, TX, 77005, United States
Join us for a discussion about the future of U.S. policy in the greater Middle East.

The Trump Administration faces critical decisions in the greater Middle East, with significant strategic implications for U.S. interests, regarding the role of the United States and the direction of U.S. policy in the region. This installment of the Baker Institute’s Director’s Lecture Series brings together three of the nation’s most seasoned experts in diplomacy and Middle East policy to examine what lies ahead.

Ambassador David Satterfield will moderate a timely discussion featuring Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer and Aaron David Miller. The panel will explore the intersecting challenges of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the situation of a post-Assad regime in Syria, the ceasefire in Lebanon, opportunities and risks in dealing with Iran and its regional proxies, and the status of “the Saudi-U.S. deal.” Drawing on decades of diplomatic service, policy analysis, and close engagement with presidents and leaders past and present in the region, the panel will offer a nuanced analysis of what’s next, and why, for the U.S. and the Middle East.

This event is free and open to the public.
