Rice University´s Baker Institute for Public Policy will host1 an armchair conversation with Elliot Abrams on the evolving intersections among Venezuela, Iran, and the broader Middle East, and what these relationships mean for U.S. interests and foreign policy. 

As Washington confronts mounting instability across multiple regions, questions surrounding sanctions, energy security, regional conflict, and strategic alliances have grown more urgent.
