About the Conference

Gulf Futures Forum

In recent months the Middle East has experienced an uptick in tensions ranging from Iranian-led cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, increased maritime attacks, and sponsorship of terrorist proxies across the region spilling over to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Iran’s fostering of extremist ideology will undoubtedly continue unabated as Iran progresses in its nuclear capabilities.

Gulf Futures Forum


Ambiguity over sanctions exists as while the Biden administration seeks to revive the nuclear deal the US continues to impose a degree of sanctions on Iran.

Gulf Futures Forum


All the while, Iran is attracting investments and increasing trade with Asia enabling Iran’s nuclear ambitions to continue unabated.

Join a unique setting of policymakers, military representatives, security & diplomatic officials as well as regional specialists to gain proprietary information, contextualize intelligence and ultimately mitigate risk across the Middle East.​
