SUMMARY:Behnam Ben Taleblu on the Iranian Nuclear Program and Its Return to a Policy of “Murder for Hire”
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \nSince the October 25th Israeli attack on an Iranian nuclear research facility in Parchin\, how significant is the damage done to the Islamic Republic’s ability to strike out against Israel?  Does the Islamic Republic want to engage with the state of Israel and perhaps her allies in a nuclear war? How damaged has the nuclear research facility become? How long will it take them to replicate it? \nWill it continue to simply use its terror proxies “until the last Arab”? \nWe know that Iran had attempted to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump\, Ambassador John Bolton\, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\, and Former Assistant Secretary of State Brian Hook\, as well as Masih Alinejad.  Since the recent confirmation that  three Uzbek nationals allegedly hired by Iran murdered  Rabbi Tzvi Kogan\, an Israeli Chabad Rabbi\, in the UAE\, is Iran simply returning to its policy of “murder for hire?” \nAbout this speaker: Behnam Ben Taleblu is a senior fellow at FDD\, where he focuses on Iranian security and political issues. Behnam previously served as a research fellow and senior Iran analyst at FDD. Before his time at FDD\, Behnam worked on non-proliferation issues at an arms control think-tank in Washington. Leveraging his subject-matter expertise and native Farsi skills\, Behnam has closely tracked a wide range of Iran-related topics\, including nuclear non-proliferation\, ballistic missiles\, sanctions\, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\, the foreign and security policy of the Islamic Republic\, and internal Iranian politics. Frequently called upon to brief journalists\, congressional staff\, and other Washington audiences\, Behnam has also testified before the U.S. Congress and Canadian Parliament. \nHis analysis has been quoted in The Washington Post\, The Wall Street Journal\, Reuters\, Fox News\, The Associated Press\, and Agence France-Presse\, among others. Additionally\, he has contributed to or co-authored articles for Foreign Affairs\, Foreign Policy\, Fox News\, The Hill\, War on the Rocks\, The National Interest\, and U.S. News & World Report.
