ST. LOUIS – The US assassination of Iran's top general Qassem Soleimani has brought the world to the brink of another war in the Middle East. Join the Gateway Green Alliance and the Universal African Peoples Organization for a discussion of the historical roots and contemporary regional context of what could end up as another US military intervention in the region. 

The discussion will be led by a panel of local activists with deep ties to, and intimate knowledge of, Iran's neighboring countries. Bring your thoughts and questions about the histories, cultures and crises in the Middle East.
