Washington’s Problem of Iran Expertise

Negar Mortazavi speaks to political anthropologist Negar Razavi
about the systemic problem of “Iran expertise” in Washington, how
the U.S. foreign policy establishment has created a culture of
expert impunity when it comes to Iran, the role of these experts
and think tanks in shaping U.S. policies, and why those who
provide nuance on Iran are constantly attacked and smeared.
