Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies Professor Dr. Avner Cohen provided insight into Iran’s nuclear program on a panel with Haaretz.
Describing the Trump Administration’s designation of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization as “a stupendously unserious move,” Professor Jason Blazakis of the Middlebury Institute called in a Washington Post op-ed for the lifting of this designation as part of ongoing negotiations aimed at constraining Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Blazakis, director of the Institute’s Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism and the former director of the U.S. Department of State’s Counterterrorism Finance and Designations Office, coauthored the opinion essay with former State Department colleague Daniel Benjamin, now president of the American Academy in Berlin.
