The Homeland Security Project’s (HSP) core mission is to be an active, bipartisan voice on homeland and national security issues. The project is co-chaired by former Governor Tom Kean and former Congressman Lee Hamilton who led the 9/11 Commission’s bipartisan 20-month investigation into the September 11th attacks and forged unanimous agreement on its 41 recommendations – the vast majority of which were enacted into law. 

With terrorist threat and tactics becoming more complex and diverse, the project works to foster public discourse, provide expert analysis, and develop proactive policy solutions on how best to 
respond to emerging challenges. The critical role played by co-chairs Kean and Hamilton in creating the Department of Homeland Security, and their continued analysis of its successes and shortcomings in the face of evolving threats, make the work of HSP salient to the question of how to protect our homeland from Iranian threats.
