Iranian Puzzle Piece: Understanding Iran in the Global Context

摘要

The purpose of Middle East Studies (MES) is to broaden the understanding of the Middle East and to assess emerging issues in the region that affect the Department of Defense, specifically the Marine Corps. The MES focused its initial efforts on Iran, providing a balanced assessment of Iran in terms of all diplomatic, information, military, and economic areas of influence. The MES supports the University and the Marine Corps by conducting lectures, seminars, and briefings on Iran and its foreign policy.
