Please join us for the release of "Mullahs, Money, and Militias: How Iran Exerts its Influence in the Middle East," a new USIP Special Report authored by Senior Fellow Barbara Slavin. Slavin's report analyzes Iran's growing influence in the Middle East and the ways in which it is manifested through clerical links, financial aid and military support. She focuses on Iran's ties to groups in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine and shows both the extent of Iranian influence and the constraints on Iranian power. Panelists will discuss American interests and the role of Iran in the Middle East, Iran's foreign policy goals, and ways to motivate Iran and its allies to become more constructive actors in the Middle East.
