The Continuous Crisis Committee (CCC) is a dynamic and fast-paced simulation within Model United Nations (MUN) conferences, designed to immerse delegates in real-time crisis management. Unlike traditional committees that follow a structured agenda with pre-planned resolutions, the CCC operates on an ongoing basis, where delegates must respond to evolving crises through directives, press releases, and collaborative strategies. This format emphasizes quick thinking, adaptability, and negotiation skills, as unexpected updates from the crisis staff can alter the scenario at any moment, simulating the unpredictability of international relations. Participants represent key stakeholders, such as government officials or military leaders, and work collectively to mitigate threats, making it an ideal platform for those passionate about diplomacy under pressure.

This agenda centers on the real-world escalation between Iran and Israel that began on June 13, 2025, when Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, conducting airstrikes and targeted operations against Iranian nuclear facilities, military sites, and key personnel, including assassinations of senior military leaders and nuclear scientists. Iran retaliated with waves of ballistic missile and drone strikes under Operation True Promise 3, targeting Israeli cities and infrastructure, while the conflict drew in U.S. involvement through strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and a subsequent Iranian response against a U.S. base in Qatar, leading to a 12-day war marked by cyber attacks, regional proxy dynamics, and significant casualties. The scenario incorporates a freeze date allowing delegates to navigate pre and post-ceasefire tensions, nuclear proliferation risks, sanctions, humanitarian impacts, and the roles of global powers like the United States and Russia in de-escalating the conflict while balancing national interests and international law. Through this framework, the committee encourages discussions on preventing further nuclear escalation and fostering long-term regional stability in the Middle East.
