For decades, Europeans shared a simple belief: that the world \u2014 however messy \u2014 ultimately runs on rules.<\/p>\n
But what if the escalating war in Iran shows that these rules no longer apply?<\/p>\n
In this episode of EU Confidential, host Sarah Wheaton speaks to two foreign affairs experts who help unpack how the ongoing crisis in the Middle East impacts Europe.<\/p>\n
Mark Leonard, director of the European Council on Foreign Relations and author of the forthcoming book \u201cSurviving Chaos: Geopolitics When the Rules Fail,\u201d argues the Iranian conflict is a good example of a world increasingly defined by \u201cun-order.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Rym Momtaz, editor-in-chief of Strategic Europe at Carnegie Europe and a longtime observe of European and Middle East politics, helps us understand Europe\u2019s response to the U.S.-Israeli strikes in a wider geopolitical context.<\/p>\n
