Hassan Abbasi on Why Iran Spends Money on Palestine and Lebanon
Hassan Abbasi (Persian: حسن عباسی) is an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officer and head of its think-tank ‘Center for Borderless Security Doctrinal Analysis’. A political strategist and conspiracy theorist, Abbasi is known for delivering ardent and virulent speeches.
He was a jury member in 2011 edition of Fajr International Film Festival and a lecturer in the 2013 International Conference on Hollywoodism.
Amir Taheri has dubbed him “the Kissinger of Islam” in a The Telegraph article, and also quoted an anonymous European diplomat in Tehran saying "to Iran's new ruling elite, Abbasi is the big strategic brain". In 2004, Michael Ledeen claimed that he serves as "theoretician" in the office of Supreme Leader of Iran with an special responsibility for North American affairs. According to Shmuel Bar, Abbasi "is said to be affiliated with Mesbah Yazdi... a supporter of the Hojjatiyeh and of Ahmadinejad... one of the main contributors to Ahmadinejad’s strategic thought".
