Iran, the USA, and Other Conflicts


ID : 2259   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic We will attempt to unravel the complex relationships and interactions behind the current conflict in Iran. We’ll spend the first two sessions reviewing the chronology and background of the conflict with Dr. Mohammadi’s help, with the third session reserved for discussion. We’ll review the influential countries involved: the U.S., Israel, Iran, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others. We’ll look into the basic cleavages causing rifts between Sunni vs. Shia, Arabs vs. Persians, monarchy vs. theology, the oil-rich vs. the poor, and possessors of nuclear weapons vs. those without. We’ll tackle all of this with the goal of achieving greater clarity about the roots of the current conflict and potential issues moving forward.
