William Keylor, Professor of International Relations and History at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on Iran’s reaction to United States President Donald Trump’s order preventing its citizens from entering the U.S.

Keylor was interviewed for a January 29, 2017 article in The Boston Herald entitled “Iran Criticizes ‘Clear Insult,’ Bars Americans From Visiting.”

From the text of the article:

“It’s going to cause a lot of hardship between the populations — not the government, but the population of those two countries,” Boston University international relations professor William Keylor told the Herald. “It was a surprise to me that Iran was included in the list. Iran is fighting ISIS.”

Keylor added: “He’s chosen countries that are not powerful countries or influential countries, and is ignoring countries where there have been terrorists coming from those countries to the U.S.”

Keylor served four consecutive terms as Chairman of the Department of History at Boston University (1988-2000) and has been Director of the International History Institute since 1999. At Boston University, he has received the Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching and the Methodist Scholar-Teacher Award. Learn more about him here.
