As the US deploys a massive naval armada to the Middle East, is the “CRINK” alliance — China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea — prepared to challenge the existing global order? Relations between Washington and Tehran are reaching a critical escalation point following the conflict in June of last year and the recent nationwide protests in Iran. With the USS Gerald R. Ford joining the USS Abraham Lincoln in the region, the Trump administration is signaling a “regime change” posture while simultaneously engaging in high-stakes nuclear negotiations in Geneva. Will the presence of six hundred Tomahawk missiles and two carrier strike groups force a diplomatic concession, or is the Middle East on the brink of an all out war scenario? Panel:
