  • From 1 December 2023, Mind the Gulf episodes will be hosted on RUSI's Global Security Briefing as an archive of content.

Mind the Gulf explores how the Iranian nuclear programme – and international diplomatic efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon – interact with regional security dynamics and the wider Middle East. Join RUSI Research Fellows Darya Dolzikova and Tobias Borck as they invite subject-matter experts from the six Gulf monarchies (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE), Iran, and other key players from across the Middle East and beyond to share perspectives that do not always feature in Western-based discussions on the Iranian nuclear programme .
