Iran in Our Hemisphere: Where the Regime Goes After the War

Please join Gregg Roman, Executive Director of the Middle East Forum, for a private lunch on what a weakened Iran does next, and why the answer is visible from Miami. Pushed back in the Middle East, Tehran and Hezbollah are consolidating the networks they spent two decades building in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and the Tri-Border Area, moving money, operatives, and diplomatic cover into the handful of governments still willing to host them. At the same time, the regime is working Washington for sanctions relief that would refill the accounts those networks draw on. And the new Congress, with Florida’s delegation at the center of hemispheric policy, will decide whether the Western Hemisphere becomes part of the campaign against Iran’s proxies or its blind spot. Gregg will map the networks, explain the legislative tools now available, and lay out the Forum’s work to bring the two theaters together.
