Hassan Abbasi (born in 1967) is an Iranian political analyst doctrinologist & strategist, the head of the Center for Doctrinal Analysis, an independent political strategic think-tank in the Islamic Republic and also counter-terrorism advanced study center.

Abassi claims to be a basiji of the Iran-Iraq war, and special forces.[1] However, his involvement in Iran-Iraq war (and claims of his volunteer efforts to defend Iran in war times), has bean disputed by General Ali Shamkhani (the Commander of IRGC Navy during the war). General Shamkhani has said: "If Hassan Abbasi and the likes of him would have ocme to the battleground, we wouldn't have shortage of forces, and the matter [result of the war] would have been different. He was not in the battleground." [2]

Abbasi calls himself a doctor, with a Ph.D. degree, but has always refused to clarify the university from which he graduated or his adviser. He even claims that he has supervised some Ph.D. dissertations, but it has not been confirmed by an independent source. [3][4] Answering questions about his Ph.D. he has said that "Doctorate means Doctrine, meaning someone who can offer Doctrine." [5]

Abbasi also has claimed that The New York Times writes about him "every week" and that the New York Times calls him "the Kissinger of Islam" and the "THE BIG BRAIN STRATEGIC". [6]

In press reports in Western neo-conservative publications, he was reported to have been one of the five [[Iranian peoples|Iranian]] diplomats arrested by [[United States]] forces in [[Irbil]], [[Iraq]]. This report is false and has been dismissed by him in his lectures. Hassan Abbasi was not captured by U.S. forces in [[Irbil]], and is in fact in [[Iran]] and is still giving lectures at universities throughout Iran on a frequent basis.
+Abbasi also has claimed that [[The New York Times]] writes about him "every week" and that the New York Times calls him "the [[Kissinger]] of Islam" and the "THE BIG BRAIN STRATEGIC". [http://aftabnews.ir/vdcayen6i49n6a1.k5k4.html]
-Lesser known in the West is that Abbasi has gained respect in Iran for being critical of powerful politicians, including former Iranian intelligence minister [[Ali Younesi]] for, among other things, not doing enough to stop the continued trafficking of young Iranian girls as sex-slaves in [[Dubai]]. Abassi is a [[basij]]i of the [[Iran-Iraq war]], and [[special forces]] that lectures frequently at universities throughout Iran on various political topics. In one of his speeches he claimed that Iranian strategists have determined, using [[game theory]], that economic sanctions on Iran would result in the price of oil going to $110.00 per barrel, and a military attack on Iran would result in the price of oil reaching up to $400.00 per barrel. Consequently, he argues, any talk in the West of an attack on Iran over its nuclear program is a bluff.
-A European-based Iranian opposition group of political refugees alleges that Hassan Abbasi is a false name. However this claim has never been verified. Abbasi has used his name for decades to teach in Iranian universities, before and after his media attention.
