Drawing on recent analysis\, the webinar will examine how weakened yet adaptive proxy networks\, shifting operational methods\, and emerging lone-actor dynamics are influencing the risk environment in the United States\, the United Kingdom\, and beyond. The discussion will also explore how strategic messaging and narrative warfare shape radicalization pathways\, transforming ideological grievances into sustained and self-reinforcing forms of violence. Speakers will assess how these tactical shifts complicate detection and prevention\, and what they reveal about the future of terrorism in a fragmented and volatile geopolitical environment.Objectives:Analyze how Iran's proxy networks are adapting tactically despite signs of degradation.Examine the operational shift from centralized control to fragmented and less detectable threat actors.Assess the rise of lone-actor terrorism and its connection to geopolitical conflict dynamics.Analyze how strategic narratives and ideological messaging function as tools of radicalization\, transforming belief systems into drivers of violent action.Evaluate implications for counterterrorism strategies in the U.S.\, UK\, and other Western countries.SPEAKERS: Opening remarks: Kristina Tanasichuk\, Executive Editor\, Homeland Security Today\nModerator: Mahmut Cengiz\, PhD\, Managing Editor for Counterterrorism\, Homeland Security Today\; Associate Professor\, Schar School of Policy and Government\, George Mason UniversityPanelists:\nDexter Ingram\, Former Director\, Office of Violent Extremism\; Former Acting Director\, Office of the Special Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS\, U.S. Department of State\; Editorial Board Member\, Counterterrorism\, HSToday\nKristyn Shapiro\, Former SES\, Counterterrorism Division\, FBI\; Associate Director\, Defense and Security\, Guidehouse\; Editorial Board Member\, Counterterrorism\, HSToday\nDr. Kutluer Karademir\, Lecturer\, Policing\, Teesside UniversityDr. Suha Hassen\, School of Conflict Analysis and Resolution\, George Mason University\; Columnist\, Homeland Security Today X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
