Iranian leaders call the US the “Great Satan” and burn effigies of President Trump in the streets, but that doesn’t stop them from sending their kids here to learn — and to teach.
Children of regime leaders and bigwigs are at prestigious universities across the US, including the University of Massachusetts, New York’s Union College and George Washington University, The Post can reveal.
Sources said allowing people linked to the regime to assume such influential positions could present a threat to US values.
“I would think that there would be a security risk as Iranian academics have been critical in forming public opinion on the left in the US, essentially deceiving liberals into thinking that the regime is more progressive, when it’s still advancing the same hardline agenda,” said Janatan Sayeh, an Iran analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a Washington, DC-based think tank.
