Ep 167: Iran and the Atlantic Council with Jonathan Panikoff

The International Risk Podcast

The International Risk Podcast is a weekly podcast for senior executives, board members, and risk advisors. In these podcasts, we speak with experts in a variety of fields to explore international relations. Our host is Dominic Bowen, Head of Strategic Advisory at one of Europe's leading risk consulting firms. Dominic is a regular public and corporate event speaker, and visiting lecturer at several universities. Having spent the last 20 years successfully establishing large and complex operations in the world's highest-risk areas and conflict zones, Dominic now joins you to speak with exciting guests around the world to discuss international risk.
Many of our recent guests have posited that we are witnessing the rise of a new ‘axis of evil’ in international relations, forming between Russia, China, and Iran. Whilst Russia and China are rarely out of the mainstream media, Iran’s role in this rising anti-west military and ideological front remains more nuanced. Whilst the death of President Raisi on May 19th, and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas have brought Iran into the news more, many questions still go unanswered, and more importantly, unasked. That is why we are thrilled to have been joined by Johnathan Panikoff today.
Jonathan Panikoff is the director of the Middle East Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council’s Middle East Program. A former career US intelligence officer, who served as the deputy national intelligence officer for the Near East at the National Intelligence Council (NIC) from 2015 to 2020.
