In their recent Foreign Affairs commentary, Richard Fontaine and Andrea Kendall-Taylor argue that the Iran war has given the “axis of upheaval” a new front of intelligence, military, and diplomatic cooperation and coordination. Join the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) for a lively conversation on the axis moderated by David McKenzie.

The network of Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea have been written off by some and dismissed by others, but Fontaine and Kendall-Taylor contend that the axis is evolving and becoming more dangerous to the United States and its interests. At the same time, they argue that U.S. itself has become a destabilizing force. 

Two years after coining the term, CNAS has continued its in-depth exploration of the grouping as a collaborative research initiative, identifying the cooperation and constraints of the four nations.

Join the Center for a New American Security on Tuesday, November 17, from 2:00 to 2:45 p.m. ET for a live event with Richard Fontaine, Andrea Kendall-Taylor, and Michael Singh as they analyze the expanding axis of upheaval in the context of a weakened U.S. alliance network and discuss how the United States and its allies can work together to address these emerging risks.
