Really Princeton?\u00a0 Mousavian has been denounced repeatedly over the years and on this blog.\u00a0 We thought Princeton had finally cut ties after many demands.\u00a0 Now Mousavian claims to be a Visiting Research Collaborator with the Program on Science and Global Security-Princeton University, and has a Princeton email.\u00a0 His website\u2019s address says it all at https:\/\/hosseinmousavian.com\/about\/bio where you read, \u201cIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif\u2019s praise of Seyed Hossein Mousavian during a March 2016 interview: \u201cDr. Mousavian is a former colleague of mine in the foreign ministry. If one wants to pass a fair and just judgement, Mousavian has beautifully and with great effort defended the positions of Iran in Europe, America, and in conferences across the world. On many occasions other foreign ministers who attended regional conferences where I was not present but Mousavian was, have later congratulated me on the way that he defended Iran. I do not believe in past accusations against him.\u00a0 I worked with Dr. Mousavian closely for years and believe that he is a person who is fully loyal to Iran and serving his country. He has worked hard for this country and continues to do so\u201d.\u201d\u00a0 See \u201cHow the Middle East can escape the cycle of conflict in 2026,\u201d<\/a> MEE, 12-22-25.\u00a0\u00a0In the article, only Israel and the U.S. are at fault for Middle East ills, never Iran or anyone else.\u00a0 Does Princeton want to continue its association?\u00a0 It has no duty to finance other views (and for years), and should distance itself from someone forever supporting the controversial Regime under the imprimatur of your university.\u00a0 (he’s no Bernard Lewis).<\/p>\n
