Deep dives
Iran Experts Initiative and its Influence Operation
The Iranian government launched the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI) in 2014 to build ties with influential overseas academics and researchers. The IEI project was revealed through a cache of Iranian government documents. The initiative aimed to bolster Iran's image and positions on global security issues, particularly its nuclear program. Semaphore and Iran International reported that at least three individuals on the foreign ministry's list became top aides to Robert Malley, the Biden administration's special envoy on Iran. The scope of the IEI project raises questions about foreign influence and ties within the current administration.
