Project Persia

A research program headed by our MENA Desk team Helen Psatha and Sharif Fatourehchi. It will examine all things Iran – its domestic politics; its increasing nuclear enrichment and the threats this poses for the global order; its role in the Middle East and beyond. Project Persia aims to be a voice of clarity in MENA research and analysis.
