Hussein Mousavian gave keynote address at STRATCOM’s Deterrence Symposium
Congress is demanding answers from senior U.S. military leaders after one of the country’s premier war fighting outfits hosted a former Iranian official who came under fire last year for bragging about the hardline regime’s efforts to assassinate American leaders, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
The probe—spearheaded by Sen. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.) and Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Ala.), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and chair of the House Armed Services Committee—comes on the heels of a Free Beacon report on U.S. Strategic Command’s decision to host a keynote address by Hussein Mousavian, a former member of Iran’s nuclear negotiating team who works as a Middle East security and nuclear policy specialist at Princeton University.
Mousavian was invited by top military brass to address STRATCOM’s 2023 Deterrence Symposium, a high-level powwow that gave the former Iranian official access to high-level Americans leaders.
