New US National Intelligence Officer for Iran

Laura Rozen notes at Al-Monitor's "The Back Channel" that the National Intelligence Council now has its first National Intelligence Officer (NIO) for Iran, Jillian Burns.

The NIO for the Near East traditionally handled the entire region. The National Intelligence Council brings together the consensus of the intelligence community under the Director of National Intelligence and prepares National Intelligence Estimates.
