The panel outlines the fluid situation in Iran today, focusing on US objectives, the shifting global power dynamics with China, and the energy market impacts. The panel also discuss how South Africa’s foreign policy might shift with Iran’s declining influence. Dr Frans Cronje lays out how the war will end.
