Ross Harrison

Ross Harrison is a Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute whose analysis focuses on the escalating tensions between the US, Iran, and Israel. He is newsworthy due to his commentary on the increasingly volatile situation in the Middle East. Recent articles highlight his warnings about a likely military escalation despite diplomatic rhetoric, and his assessment that the US is negotiating with Iran using outdated strategies. He also participated in a discussion regarding Israel's strategy toward Iran, suggesting they are not seeking negotiation but rather decimation. Harrison's expertise is particularly relevant given the reported tightening of Iranian control over Hezbollah and the potential for the group's activation in the event of US strikes against the Iranian regime, as well as Hezbollah's recent escalation of involvement in the conflict.
