ABNA24 - A panel of international analysts, legal experts, and political thinkers from across the Arab and Islamic world will gather Saturday in a virtual symposium to dissect the strategic consequences of a potential war with Iran and the unfolding scenarios of American decline.
The specialized online seminar, conducted in Arabic, will bring together prominent scholars and political figures to analyze the future battlefield outlook and what many see as Washington’s inevitable strategic defeat in the region.
The event comes in the wake of what Iranian officials have dubbed the ‘Ramadan War,’ during which the myth of US invincibility was shattered, according to senior clerics and military commanders.
High-profile speakers line up
The symposium will feature a distinguished lineup of intellectuals and political leaders, including:
- Dr. Sheikh Ahmed Al-Raisouni – Former head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (Morocco)
- Sheikh Salama Abdel-Qawi – Head of the Mihrab Al-Azhar Institute (Egypt)
- Dr. Najah Mohammed Ali – Political analyst (London)
- Dr. Bushra Khalil – International legal expert (Lebanon)
- Dr. Yahya Abu Zakariya – Political analyst and intellectual (Algeria)
- Dr. Violet Dagher – Head of the Arab Human Rights Commission (France)
- Dr. Ehsan Ataya – Member of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine
- Dr. Nasser Qandil – Political analyst (Lebanon)
- Dr. Ahmed Al-Zein – Political analyst (London)
- Dr. Jumaa Al-Atwani – Political analyst (Iraq)
- Akhund Bahman Khalighi – Religious scholar (Golestan Province, Iran)
- Sheikh Ali Mahigir – Religious scholar (Hormozgan Province, Iran)
Date and broadcast
The virtual gathering will take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 4:00 PM Tehran time.
Interested viewers can watch the live broadcast on Al-Kawthar TV and Al-Alam TV, both available via satellite and online streaming platforms.
Topics to be covered
Organizers say the discussion will focus on:
- The strategic miscalculations of the US in the recent conflict
- Scenarios for the decline of American power in West Asia
- The legal and humanitarian dimensions of US strikes on civilian infrastructure in Iran
- The resurgence and future trajectory of the Axis of Resistance
- Global shifts in public opinion following the ‘Ramadan War’
Regional momentum against US hegemony
The symposium reflects a growing trend among Arab and Muslim intellectuals who have increasingly distanced themselves from Washington’s aggressive posture toward Iran. In recent weeks, voices from across the political spectrum—including from US-allied Persian Gulf states—have condemned what they describe as American barbarism and moral collapse in the conduct of war.
