In the City

Israel, Iran and a Radical Increase in Risk

Apr 17, 2024

The deadly April 1 airstrike on Iran’s consulate in Syria and Iran’s retaliation against Israel with a drone and missile attack changed the “rules of engagement” right before our eyes, according to geopolitical strategist Tina Fordham. “This is the most significant uptick in Middle East risk for 20 years.”

Fordham is the founder of Fordham Global Foresight, an independent consultancy dedicated to advising boards and C-suite executives on geopolitical, socio-economic and financial risks. She joins David Merritt and Francine Lacqua on this week’s In the City to discuss the Israel-Hamas war, the resulting carnage in Gaza and how long-standing tensions between Israel and Iran are coming to a head. She also addresses what happens next and what it means for stability in the region as well as global markets.
