Looking at Iran and Syria: Aggressors or Victims?


St Mary’s University College

Friday 8th August, 3pm-4.30pm

The West and much of its media have accused Iran and Syria as constituting a major threat to Israel and western interests. But who are the real aggressors? Iran suffered 1 million dead and wounded from Saddam Hussein’s attack when he was a Western client; Iraq is a broken country and Syria has acted as host to the millions of refugees created by war.

Speakers:

Dr Geoffrey King is an authority on Islamic architecture and a media commentator.

Shirvin Zeinalzadeh is an Iranian diplomat, a lecturer and a specialist in Intelligence and International Security.

Dr Sayed Safavi is a prominent Iranian cleric and philosopher. In 2003 he condemned suicidal bombings and called for negotiations as the means to end the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Jihad Makdissi is head of the Press and Media section, Syrian Embassy, London.
