Webinar | The eastern front: Regional reverberations of the Iran War on South Asia

The war in Iran is creating ripple effects far beyond the Middle East, with South Asia particularly exposed. The confrontation has brought with it profound risks for neighboring Pakistan, opening up new security concerns in the restive Balochistan province at the same time that Pakistan is mired in active conflict with Afghanistan. Existing sectarian fault lines could also be exploited by militant groups to foment instability.

Join ACLED on 16 April, at 1pm London | 5pm Islamabad for a timely webinar examining how the Iran conflict is reshaping South Asia. This discussion will explore the interplay between regional conflicts, the role of armed groups, and broader societal impacts.

The conversation will feature:

• Pearl Pandya, Senior Analyst, South Asia, ACLED
• Imtiaz Baloch, Pakistan-based journalist and researcher
• Iftikhar Firdous, Founder and Editor of the Khorasan Diary

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to pose questions directly to the speakers.
