Spotlight: What Next for Iran?
Sustained airstrikes by Israel on myriad military targets throughout Iran, coupled with a massive attack by United States bombers, did considerable damage to Iran’s nuclear program, humiliated the regime, and reduced its ability to terrorize the region. But the Islamic Republic has yet to be defanged.

How long is Israel willing to live with an Islamic Republic that remains committed to acquiring nuclear weapons? Despite public statements to the contrary, will Trump press for regime change? MEF experts weigh in on these and other pressing issues.

Middle East Forum Observer
Founded in 2024, the Observer provides rapid analysis on leading Middle East developments, from Marrakech to Mashhad and the Bab el-Mandeb to the Black Sea.
Launched in 2006, Islamist Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum. We work to combat the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West. Arguing that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution,” we seek to expose the Islamist organizations that currently dominate the debate, while identifying and promoting the work of moderate Muslims.
CAMPUS WATCH, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
