Welcome to our April Private Roundtable, with the team behind Geopolitical Dispatch.

Our Private Roundtables give Geopolitical Dispatch subscribers the opportunity to engage directly with our experts on their most important questions.

Consider subscribing to Geopolitical Dispatch to attend these monthly events, and to access a transcript of part of the conversation—the second half of each Private Roundtable is off-the-record.

In today’s edition, we explore the Iran war and what it means for the world, for Russia, China, the US and Europe.

This is a transcript of the first of two Private Roundtables we do each month for paid GD subscribers. The second (not included here) was with Heidi Venamore PSM, Senior Advisor at Geopolitical Strategy and former Australian Ambassador to the UAE and Jordan, diplomat in Iraq and Israel and experienced advisor to corporate leaders.

Consider subscribing for exclusive access to these events and the opportunity to ask your questions direct.

An edited transcript of our conversation between Christian Habla, Michael Feller and Damien Bruckard follows.
