I am a historian of the modern Middle East, specializing in the history and politics of Palestine/Israel, Iran and the Persian Gulf. Most of the time I write and teach, while occasionally commenting on Middle Eastern politics in the international media.

My first book just came out: Iran and Israel: Old friends, new enemies (in Norwegian). This book tells the history of the conflict between Iran and Israel. It builds on research in Hebrew and Persian, and looks to Irans Jewish history, European imperialism in the Middle East, as well as recent geopolitics. My is the latest attempt at explaining the emergence of conflict and rivalry between Iran and Israel, a conflict that now engulfs the Middle East.
