FT journalists gathered for a live FT subscriber webinar on March 11 to discuss War in the Middle East: what’s the end game?

The panel answered subscribers’ questions including:

  • The goals behind the military campaign launched on February 28 by the US and Israel, and the domestic consequences for President Donald Trump

  • Iran’s leverage over Trump and the regime’s resilience

  • The impact on markets

  • Ramifications for the rest of the world including the Gulf states, Europe, Asia and the global economy

Our panel, with FT columnists Kim Ghattas, Edward Luce, Katie Martin and Gideon Rachman, was chaired by Alec Russell, foreign editor.
