Vali Nasr: The Voice of Authority on Iran
His Expert Advice and Perspective Much Sought After by Government and Business

Vali Nasr

Iran is one of the most challenging issues facing America's foreign policy experts. With its ongoing nuclear program, militant government and history of anti-Americanism, understanding this key player in the Islamic world is vital to America's interests, and an important topic for campus discussion and debate.

One of the most sought-after experts on Iran is Vali Nasr. A professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School, and Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Nasr speaks and consults on a regular basis for high-level government and corporate groups. He has also authored several important books on the politics of Iran and the wider Islamic world, and has a unique ability to help lay audiences gain a better understand of, and appreciation for, social and political life in the Islamic world.
