I'm a correspondent based in Dubai with a special focus on Iran. The last 18 years have taken me from the southern plains of Afghanistan, through the Middle East and Iran and on to Washington D.C. with BBC News. In early 2012 I arrived in the Gulf as a special correspondent for Reuters news agency to cover news and current affairs of Iran. Now an independent correspondent and analyst, I continue to report on the Islamic Republic and the Gulf for international news providers including BBC News, Sky News, Monocle and Energy Intelligence Group and BBC News.
