In August, experts at The Washington Institute unveiled the Iranian External Operations Interactive Map and Timeline, a groundbreaking tool that tracks Iran's external activities since 1979. This searchable database provides crucial insights into Iran’s global operations, including historical and recent plots and ongoing surveillance and kidnapping operations. What does this map reveal about the scale and nature of Iran’s global operations? What can be done to counter these threats effectively? And how might international strategies evolve in response to these insights? Join American Jewish Committee (AJC) and Dr. Matthew Levitt, Fromer-Wexler Senior Fellow and director of The Washington Institute’s Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, and the creator of this tool, for a presentation and conversation to explore these questions and more.
