The Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies was founded in 1980 by former Iranian diplomat, Ambassador Jaafar Ra'ed. CAIS is a London-based research institution that gathers and analyses information on the Middle East, with a special emphasis on Iran. CAIS also participates in seminars regarding Iran.
CAIS has a broad range of contacts in the region, particularly in Iran. In addition, CAIS utilises specialists who are native speakers with broad experience in analyses and interpretation of regional events. With this combination of information, often of the most sensitive nature, and its expertise, the Centre provides a broad range of confidential reports for its private clients, publishes the Arabic language Al-Moujez-an-Iran (Iran Briefing) monthly, and a range of special interest reports.
The Centre is a wholly independent institute. Because of this independence, CAIS' publications and reports are factual and unbiased, providing timely and accurate reporting and precise analysis.
Al-Moujez-an-Iran (Iran Briefing)
Al-Moujez-an-Iran (Iran Briefing) is a 24 page monthly newsletter containing news of the latest developments in the Islamic Republic of Iran, including political, military and religious issues, and a profile of a significant Iranian personality. Currently, the Briefing is available only in Arabic, but the Centre is translating and publishing some of the lead stories from the Briefing on this website. A sample issue in PDF format is available for your review.
