Journalism professor and Center on Public Diplomacy director Philip Seib was interviewed by K-IRN Radio Iran in Los Angeles Oct. 5. Seib discussed the opportunities and challenges for public diplomacy between the U.S. government and the Iranian public. “Though the regime in Iran is intent on blocking American contact with the Iranian people, it is extremely important that the U.S. continue to try to reach Iranians, particularly as we know that for the most part, the Iranian public is well-disposed towards the American people,” Seib said.
