Gregory Brew

As conflict dynamics in the Middle East continue to evolve, Iran’s choices and constraints are becoming central to how risks ripple across the region and into global markets. In this keynote, Eurasia Group analyst Gregory Brew, the firm’s Iran country analyst and a specialist in the geopolitics of oil and gas, explains how Iran is influencing the current conflict environment and how it is likely to respond as conditions change. With a focus on the implications clients care about most, Greg will address potential sanctions, risks to shipping and supply, energy price volatility, and the outlook for regional investment and day to day operations.

Greg pairs on the ground political risk analysis with deep historical expertise in modern Iran, oil, and United States foreign policy to provide a clear view of what may come next and how to prepare. With extensive experience briefing senior leaders and engaging major media, he makes complex Iran and Middle East dynamics easier to understand, helping decision makers read fast moving signals and position their organizations for an increasingly contested geopolitical landscape.
