The analytical situation

Iran presents a different constraint from Afghanistan. Institutions are documented and formally legible, but the distance between formal structure and effective authority is substantial, and the risk to anyone who speaks candidly is severe.

Persian-language material is read in the original, including legal gazettes, official statements and regional reporting. Consultation protocols are stricter here than in any other portfolio, and the sanctions screening applies to every engagement without exception.

Standing coverage

  1. Institutional authority and decision-making in practice
  2. Legal and judicial developments, including their published basis
  3. Human rights conditions and the treatment of specific groups
  4. Civil society space and the conditions for independent organisation
  5. Economic governance as it bears on political stability
  6. Regional posture as it affects Afghanistan and Pakistan
