As a scholar and independent researcher, I’m particularly interested in issues related to foreign policy and international relations.
I was educated in Iran, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Switzerland. Further, my personal connections to members of the Foreign Intelligence service of Pre-revolutionary Iran have markedly enhanced my appreciation of the intrinsic nature of politics and international relations beyond the mere theoretical analysis of the unfolding events.

You are so insightful about foreign policy. I enjoy your blogs.
VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION OF COURSE I AM NOT A POLITICIAN OR STUDIED POLITICS BUT AS A IRANIAN BORN AND RAISED THERE AND STORIES FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS MORE OR LESS GAVE ME THE IDEA OF HOW FOREIGN POLICY OF WESTERN COUNTRIES CREATED SUCH A CHAOS IN THE WORLD.
The world must support Iran’s secular politicians, otherwise the country will slide into the arms of orthodox Islamists. Then it will be very difficult for all the neighbors and, first of all, for the Israelis.
