"War with Iran," TODAY at 3:30pm

[Daniel Lake]

 *The Institute for Ethics in Public Life invites you to join us for "War
with Iran" on Wednesday, March 11 at 3:30pm in-person or on Zoom, featuring
Institute Director Dr. Daniel Lake, Professor of Political Science.*

The combined US and Israeli attack on Iran on Saturday, Feb. 28, came as a
surprise to many of us. While the buildup of US forces in the region was
clearly threatening towards Iran, there was little indication that war was
imminent. The suddenness of the attack and the multiple rationales offered
by administration officials raise important questions about why the US and
Israel attacked Iran. Additional questions of interest include how the war
is proceeding during this early phase, what the next couple of months are
likely to bring, and how and when it is likely to end.

We will start with an overview of what is happening, why the war began, and
what it means as best we can determine from available information
by Institute Director Dr. Daniel Lake. This portion will be recorded for
those who aren't able to attend. We will then transition to an open
discussion of topics of interest and concern to those present.

Dr. Daniel R. Lake is Director of the Institute for Ethics in Public Life
and Professor of Political Science specializing in international relations,
particularly international conflict and security. He has published work on
coercive air power and on the use of technology by the US military. He
teaches courses on international relations, national security issues, war,
and American foreign policy. Dr. Lake is also a former US Army military
intelligence officer and veteran of Operation Desert Storm.

Please join us in person in the Thomas Moran Seminar Room of the Institute
for Ethics in Public Life (Hawkins 233) or on Zoom (see below).
