Iran's Ministry of Intelligence: A Concise History
View on Telegram

A Western intelligence perspective on Iran's understudied Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS).

About This Book

Despite Iran's permanent status as 'pariah' on the world stage, with all the attendant media coverage and public discussion, focus more often than not remains on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its activities and objectives.

Little is said of the regime's own Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS), which is to the detriment of a serious analysis of the regime's capabilities and strategy.

Steven Ward, a former CIA officer, gives an intelligence-eye view of this understudied organisation. A good book to see the Western perspective of Iran's MOIS.

Published in 2024, this book provides crucial insights into one of the most secretive intelligence agencies in the Middle East.

Key Points

  • 1History and evolution of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence
  • 2MOIS organizational structure and operations
  • 3Western intelligence perspective on Iranian capabilities
  • 4Comparison with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
