Spotlight on Iran After the Protests
The major protests in Iran have mostly ended, or perhaps simply paused. The cost was horrific with estimates of between 20-40,000 protesters killed by the Islamic Republic’s security forces. The people rose up but the effort failed to reach critical mass.
Now the world watches to see what unfolds. The United States has moved what President Trump calls a “massive armada” within striking distance. Will here be an attack on the regime or will some sort of deal be struck? MEF fellows and experts have thoughts on all of this.

Middle East Forum Observer
Founded in 2024, the Observer provides rapid analysis on leading Middle East developments, from Marrakech to Mashhad and the Bab el-Mandeb to the Black Sea.
Launched in 2006, Islamist Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum. We work to combat the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West. Arguing that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution,” we seek to expose the Islamist organizations that currently dominate the debate, while identifying and promoting the work of moderate Muslims.
CAMPUS WATCH, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
