Flynt Leverett directs the Iran Project at the New America Foundation, teaches at Pennsylvania State University’s School of International Affairs, and co-publishes www.TheRaceForIran.com. From 1992 to 2003, he had a distinguished career in the U.S. government, serving as Senior Director for Middle East Affairs at the National Security Council, Middle East and counter-terrorism expert on the Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff, and as a CIA Senior Analyst. He left the George W. Bush Administration and government service in 2003 because of disagreements about Middle East policy and the conduct of the war on terror. Dr. Leverett’s 2006 monograph, Dealing With Tehran: Assessing U.S. Diplomatic Options Toward Iran, presented the seminal argument for a U.S.-Iranian “grand bargain”, an idea that he has developed in multiple articles and Op Eds. He is also the author of the 2005 book, Inheriting Syria: Bashar’s Trial by Fire.
