Cruz urges Princeton to take action over professor accused of pro-Iran allegiances, citing risk to students
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has urged Princeton to take action over an ex-Iranian official, Seyed Hossein Mousavian, citing student safety concerns amid rising antisemitism on campus.
"Mousavian is closely linked to the Iranian regime and to the regime’s campaigns of terrorism and murder. His presence at Princeton makes students feel justifiably afraid for their safety. Princeton’s decision to keep employing him shows they care less about their students, and more about providing a platform for pro-regime and anti-American propaganda. That kind of reckless institutional ideological bias is exactly why the Trump administration is reassessing federal funding for Princeton," Cruz told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.

Fox News Digital previously reported that Mousavian expressed support for the U.S.-designated terrorist movements, Hamas and Hezbollah, and appeared to pay tribute to the global Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani in 2020 when he attended his funeral.
