The 2027 Fight List: Aid, Sanctions, and the Force That Backs Them

Please join Gregg Roman, Executive Director of the Middle East Forum, for a private lunch and a working briefing on the year ahead. With the midterm results in hand, the fights for 2027 are already lined up, and they are connected. The Israel aid package will be the first test, because the conditions some members want attached to it are the same conditions Tehran’s allies want imposed. The Iran sanctions architecture is the second, with the regime lobbying to unwind it just as the new chairs decide whether to tighten it. The defense authorization is the third, and it determines whether the force posture that won the war survives the budget. Running through all three are the nominations, hearings, and amendment votes where the extremes will test the center. For each, Gregg will lay out who the players are, where the votes stand, and what the Forum is doing to win. This is the briefing for supporters who want to see where their investment goes.
