Venue: Círculo de Bellas Artes
Wednesday, 29th April 2026, from 12:00 to 13:30 h. CEST (UTC+2). Venue: Room Ramón Gómez de la Serna, Círculo de Bellas Artes (c/ Marqués de Casa Riera no. 2, Madrid).
The roundtable will address the crisis that has emerged in the Middle East following the attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran. These actions have not only dangerously destabilized the region but have also intensified existing tensions between the United States and its European allies—particularly Spain—and are already having serious economic consequences that could lead to a global recession and a humanitarian disaster in some parts of the world.
