Join us at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13 at Congregation B’nai Amoona as Iran expert David Makovsky provides a detailed analysis of how we got to the present-day situation, what may happen with the Iran agreement, and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Makovsky is the Ziegler distinguished fellow at The Washington Institute, a preeminent voice in Middle East analysis, and director of the Project on the Middle East Peace Process. He is also an adjunct professor in Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). A native of St. Louis, Makovsky received a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and a master’s degree in Middle East studies from Harvard University.
