What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in international relations and contribute to impactful research and writing.

I am a dedicated freelance writer, researcher, and journalist with a robust background in international relations. My academic journey began at the University of Tehran, where I earned both my B.S. and M.S. in Political Science. My thesis focused on the first oil shock and its impact on national disparities, showcasing my analytical skills and deep understanding of geopolitical dynamics.

Throughout my career, I have co-authored several influential books on Middle Eastern politics and have contributed over 1,000 articles to various newspapers and journals. My expertise extends to geoeconomics and geopolitics, particularly concerning Afghanistan, South Asia, and the Middle East. I have been actively involved in research and analysis, collaborating with numerous international platforms and think tanks, which has allowed me to present my insights on critical global issues.
