The following is a presentation made at the 2015 Israel Lobby Con held at the National Press Club.
Gareth Porter is an investigative journalist and historian who specializes in U.S. foreign and military policy. He has written five books, including Perils of Dominance, Imbalance of Power and The Road to War in Vietnam.
His most recent book is Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare. The book highlights the impact that the United States’ alliance with Israel had on Washington’s turning the International Atomic Energy Agency into a tool of its anti-Iran policy. He writes regularly for Inter Press Service and has also published investigative articles on Salon.com, the Nation, the American Prospect, Truthout and The Raw Story.
His blogs have been published on Huffington Post, Firedoglake, CounterPunch and many other websites. Porter was Saigon bureau chief of Dispatch News Service International in 1971 and later reported on trips to Southeast Asia for The Guardian, Asian Wall Street Journal and Pacific News Service.
In 2012 he was awarded the Martha Gelhorn Prize for Investigative Journalism by the UK-based Gelhorn Trust.
Porter currently publishes Iran policy analysis in Middle East Eye.
The conference is solely sponsored by the American Educational Trust, publisher of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep).
