On April 12, 2026, Fieldstead welcomed Hillel Fradkin, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., for a timely and historically grounded discussion of the Iran War and crisis in the Middle East. Fradkin, who directs Hudson's Center on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World, and has written extensively in major publications on the subjects of the history of Islam and contemporary Muslim and Middle Eastern affairs, offered a nuanced picture of the backdrop and recent developments that have led to this inflection point in global relations.
