Iran and Venezuela: Regime Change? | The High Top

Brought to you by

Brzezinski Chair in Global Security and Geostrategy , Americas Program

Jon Alterman, Brzezinski Chair in Global Security and Geostrategy, and Ryan Berg, Director of the Americas Program, examine the strategic parallels, and crucial differences, between the U.S. operation that removed Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela and the ongoing war  with Iran. They explore how the scope, objectives, and regional dynamics of the two cases differ, and what those differences reveal about U.S. strategy and the future of regime stability in both regions.

This event is made possible through general support to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
