De "facto declaration of war"? - Soleimani's killing as turning point in the Middle East

With the US-killing of the Iranian military leader, Qassem Soleimani, the Middle East has been yet again sent in the heart to geopolitical uncertainty and frenzy. What does the killing mean for the future of the region, the Iran Nuclear Deal and the US role within it? Was there a strategy behind this offence and if yes, what kind? How should Europe react? In a special podcast edition, Mark Leonard talks with our senior policy fellows Ellie Geranmayeh, Jeremy Shapiro and Julien Barnes-Dacey about the implications for the neighbouring countries, Europe’s mediation role and whether there is a chance for de-escalation.This podcast was recorded on 6 January 2020.Bookshelf:- "Crisis in Iran will drive wedge between Europe and Washington" by Ellie Geranmayeh: https://www.politico.eu/article/crisis-in-iran-will-drive-wedge-between-europe-and-washington/ Picture (c) sayyed shahab o din vajedi/wikicommons
