February 2019 Warsaw Conference is a conference scheduled for February 13 and 14, 2019 in Warsaw, capital of Poland. The conference will be hosted by Poland and the United States. According to the joint official announcement of the meeting, the issues of the event are: “terrorism and extremism, missile development and proliferation, maritime trade and security, and threats posed by proxy groups across the region”. In early February the US secretary of State Mike Pompeo had said that the purpose of the conference is to focus on "Iran’s influence and terrorism in the region". However, after the European objections to the purpose, the United states was forced to backtrack on planning to build a global coalition against Iran.
