Political Science Expert Boroujerdi on Protests in Iran

Maxwell Political Science Professor Mehrzad Boroujerdi recently wrote an opinion article for the New York Daily News regarding the recent Iran protests that have resulted in over 20 deaths. In it, he writes about credibility squandered, and how that now there is little the US can do to help.

“The Trump administration is correct in arguing that no matter what they do or don’t do, the Iranian regime will blame them for the unrest,” he wrote. “But does Trump recognize that by the animosity he has hitherto shown against not just the Iranian state but also the Iranian people, he has forfeited any goodwill among the latter?”
