Click here to read a transcript.

Ceasefire talks with Iran’s regime have stalled as Tehran continues adhering to its maximalist, sweeping demands. As diplomacy falters, Washington is tightening the pressure on Tehran, enforcing a naval blockade on Iranian ports.

To discuss the ceasefire’s uncertain future, JINSA hosted a webinar featuring three leading subject matter experts.

The webinar featured JINSA Distinguished Fellow IDF MG (ret.) Yaakov Amidror, Israel’s former National Security Advisor; JINSA Generals and Admirals Program Participant VADM Mark Fox, USN (ret.), former Deputy Commander, U.S. Central Command; and JINSA Generals and Admirals Program Participant VADM John Miller, USN (ret.), former Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command.

JINSA Vice President for Policy Blaise Misztal moderated the discussion.
