We invite you to the third round of Lectures and Open Dialogue on Iran .

As the war unfolds now, we go behind the news and into the history, power structures, and long lines that shape today's war.

Topic of the dialogue: What is behind this war? Iran, the US and Israel

How have the relations between Iran, the United States and Israel developed over time?

If we are to understand the present, we must go back into history.

Speaker: Bjørn Olav Utvik
Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oslo.
Utvik has worked on the modern history of the Middle East and North Africa, especially political and economic relations, and has conducted in-depth research on religious political movements.

After the lecture, we will open up for dialogue with the audience.

During the evening there will also be musical performances from Kiana, Luciano Matte and Jalal Ghobad.

We serve light Iranian finger food.

Come and bring your thoughts and reflections.
