Harvard Hires Iranian Regime Supporter Who Warned of ‘Jewish Threat’

Harvard University is currently employing as a “visiting scholar” an Iranian hardline regime supporter who has warned against the “Jewish threat” and has been critical of Judaism and Israel, according to multiple sources.

Ali Akbar Alikhani, an associate professor at the University of Tehran, is currently serving as a visiting scholar at Harvard’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies, where he is on a project centered on “peace and peaceful coexistence in Islam.”

Alikhani is a member of Tehran University’s Faculty of World Studies, which is closely tied to the Iranian ruling regime and has supported scholars who espouse the regime’s hardline ideology.

Harvard officials did not respond to multiple Washington Free Beacon requests for comment and further information about Alikhani’s employment.

The school’s decision to align itself with an ally of the Iranian regime has elicited criticism from some academics, who accuse the Ivy League school of betraying moderate Iranian voices who seek greater ties with the Western world.

Alikhani’s academic work has been critical of Israel and Zionism and adheres closely to the hardline philosophy espoused by Iran’s top leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a review of his work.
