In the Thick of It: Middle East
Wars involving the U.S., Iran and Israel are playing out across the Middle East, raising the risk of wider escalation and regional spillover. The discussion will draw on first‑hand reporting to examine what life looks like on the ground, the broader geopolitical stakes, and what current trajectories suggest about what may come next.
The Overseas Press Club’s “In the Thick of It” series brings together journalists reporting from regions for timely, informed conversations.
The panel features OPC governor Stephen Kalin (Wall Street Journal, Saudi Arabia), Daniel Estrin (NPR, Israel), Nabih Bulos (Los Angeles Times, Middle East) and Heidi Pett (Al Jazeera, Lebanon & Syria) offering perspectives from key fault lines across the Middle East. Moderating is Mohamad Bazzi, director of the Center for Near Eastern Studies and a journalism professor at New York University.
