Drawing on a variety of sources, the team examines the impact of the links between Iran and global terrorist activity. Specifically, the team explores internal and external Iranian discourse and its influence on Iranian decision making.

The desk also monitors how these influences impact Iranian the operational and tactical decisions implemented by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and its branches/proxies around the world.

The desk’s publications will also review methods of coping with this extensive activity, examining the effectiveness of arrests, sanctions, and counter-terror activities.
