CivilnetIn this episode of the CivilNet podcast, Sergei Melkonian, a Middle East specialist and a research fellow at the Yerevan-based think tank APRI Armenia, sheds light on the fast-moving conflict between Iran and Israel and what it means for Armenia. Recorded on day five of the crisis, the conversation explores what Melkonian warns could be a worst-case scenario, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pursuing regime change with the intention of assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Meanwhile, the United States appears poised to enter the conflict, based on new warnings from President Donald Trump. Melkonian analyzes the risks of regional escalation, the uncertain future of nuclear talks, and how the crisis could directly impact Armenia, from trade disruptions to potential border instability.
