Controversy
According to PressTV, IIEA is "a trap for Iranian economists [...] and used as a venue to attract Iranian students, seeking to transfer the center of Iran’s economic studies from inside to outside of the country by deceiving and cooperating with some domestic economic figures." [3] Yet, Iran's government, the IMF or WEF collaborate openly.[4][5][6]
