Grant Year: 2024

Jeremy Hodge, Anand Gopal, Daniel Rothenberg, Peter Bergen, and David Sterman will collaborate on an effort to explore whether Iran is collaborating with subnational Sunni proxies. They will undertake research and field work in the West Bank, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, focusing on Iran’s efforts to collaborate with Sunni tribes, organized crime groups, and key opposition movements. The project’s findings will be presented in policy papers and a book.
