As the conflict between the United States and Iran nears the two-month mark, the future remains uncertain on multiple fronts.

Military action has been limited during a 10-day ceasefire, and negotiations for a longer-term peace have failed.

Experts from the Centre for International Defence Policy (CIDP) at Queen’s University are available to provide insight and analysis of developments including 

  • The legal and economic repercussions of the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz
  • The impact of the conflict on the political players within the Middle East
  • The pressures being felt by allies and partners of the United States, including NATO and Canada
  • What it will take to end the conflict
  • And much more

With more than 60 researchers and fellows, the CIDP is a leading research organization that bridges the gap between academic research and policy on matters related to military and defence, both in Canada and internationally.
