Excited to announce that Roberts & Ryan’s Geopolitical Team headed by Andrew Darcy, Major General (Ret.) Austin Renforth, Rear Admiral Matt O. and our special guests Major General (Ret.) Tracy W. King and Major General (Ret.) Scott Benedict hosted a timely and important webinar focusing on Iran and the implications for China.

Roberts & Ryan geopolitical discussion topics:
- Assessment of the Current Situation in Iran
- The Likelihood of a Peace Deal
- What to Expect if Hostilities Resume
- The Connection with China
- Impacts on China’s Influence
- China and Taiwan
Why This Briefing Matters
The war with Iran is bigger than most people think and has direct implications for China and the global world order. As Operation Epic Fury enters its third month, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and peace negotiations have stalled. The risks of escalation are growing. The massive economic impact is being felt worldwide. A new world order is developing with the United States and China at the epicenter. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from senior military leaders who were responsible for developing the very plans currently being executed and who advised CENTCOM, INDOPACOM, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
