The International Crisis Group (ICG), known for its influence in the negotiation of the nuclear deal with Iran, has been reported to have undisclosed connections with the Islamic Republic’s foreign ministry. These connections are highlighted by a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in 2016 with Iran's Foreign Ministry through the IPIS think tank, which is known for hosting a Holocaust denial summit in 2006. This revelation has raised concerns about the covert ties between the ICG and Iran, with implications for the organization's credibility and its past president Rob Malley, who previously served as the president of ICG.
