Iranian academic Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi, Deputy Director of the Law and Political Economy Project at Yale University, discussed her suspension in a March 14, 2025, interview on Drop Site News. Doutaghi, who was put on administrative leave due to her alleged ties with Samidoun—a U.S. Designated terrorist-linked group—and the Islamic Republic of Iran, said that Yale was aware of her activism when she was hired, and she had been led to believe that her involvement was seen as an asset. She remarked: "I will use everything and anything at my disposal to fight this fascist dictatorship of the United States." Doutaghi criticized American institutions, particularly Ivy League universities, as tools of the "fascist project" of the United States under President Trump, calling it a "clarifying moment" to realize how empty these institutions are of intellectual integrity.

Doutaghi, an Iranian national with a Ph.D. in Legal Studies from Carleton University in Canada, is also a member of the Committee of Anti-Imperialists in Solidarity with Iran (CASI). She has appeared multiple times on Iran's state-run English language TV channel, Press TV. Doutaghi has participated in events organized by Samidoun and its offshoot, Masar Badil. Samidoun is a Designated Terrorist Entity in Canada and is under U.S. sanctions for acting as a front to fund the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-Designated Terrorist Organization. Doutaghi was scheduled to appear in an April 2024 webinar sponsored by Samidoun and CASI alongside Khaled Barakat, a leader of Masar Badil, who has been designated a terrorist by Canada and is identified as a senior member of the PFLP by the United States.
