Young professionals are invited to join the Austin Liberty Leadership Council* (LLC) for a conversation featuring foreign policy experts on one of the most complex and fast-moving challenges in the world today: the evolving situation in the Middle East, and why it matters here in Texas.

From escalating tensions with Iran to broader regional instability, this discussion will explore not only what is happening on the ground, but what strategic outcomes may lie ahead. Drawing on expert insight, we’ll examine the United States’ capability and strategic opportunity to achieve meaningful victory in Iran while also considering the risks, tradeoffs, and long-term implications.

Join us to gain a clearer understanding of how U.S. foreign policy decisions shape global security, energy markets, and economic stability, as well as the direct consequences for Texans and Americans alike.

Speakers:

  • Adam Klein—Director of the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law, University of Texas at Austin
  • Joshua Treviño—Senior Director for the Western Hemisphere Initiative, Senior Fellow for Europe, and Senior Advisor to the President at the America First Policy Institute; Chief Transformation Officer, Texas Public Policy Foundation

RSVP is required to attend. Please extend this invitation to any other young professional who may be interested in this event. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

*The purpose and vision of the Liberty Leadership Council (LLC) is to foster meaningful relationships among young professionals who share the values of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise and to engage these individuals in the mission of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Click here for more information.
