    The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) is the world's oldest and the UK's leading defense and security think tank. Founded in 1831 by the Duke of Wellington, it has nearly two centuries of experience in providing independent analysis on defense and security issues. RUSI operates with an international perspective, maintaining offices not only in London but also globally, including locations like Doha and Nairobi[1] [2].

    Engagement with Islam and Islamic Countries

    While RUSI does not specifically focus on Islam or Islamic countries as its primary area of study, its research often touches upon geopolitical dynamics involving these regions. For instance:

    • Regional Security: RUSI has analyzed regional perspectives on security challenges involving Middle Eastern countries. This includes examining how Iran's actions influence regional dynamics among Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states[3].
    • Cybersecurity: Through its cyber research group, RUSI engages with international strategic responses to cybersecurity threats that may affect Muslim-majority countries or involve actors from these regions[4].

    Focus on Iran

    RUSI has conducted extensive research into Iran's objectives and capabilities within the context of global security:

    • Iran’s Objectives: A 2019 report by Jack Watling explored Iran’s deterrence strategies and subversion tactics. It highlighted how Iran uses various means to assert influence beyond its borders while maintaining domestic stability[5].
    • Nuclear Program: Studies have addressed implications of Iran’s nuclear program for regional stability. These analyses often consider how extra-regional powers like the UK can contribute to addressing emerging challenges related to Iranian activities in the Gulf region[6].
    • IRGC Activities: While not directly a focus area for RUSI itself, discussions around Iranian military entities such as the IRGC are relevant due to their impact on regional security dynamics discussed by researchers at institutions like RUSI.

    Conclusion

    In summary, while The Royal United Services Institute primarily focuses on broader defense and security issues rather than exclusively concentrating on Islam or specific Islamic countries like Iran, it does engage with topics that involve these areas through its comprehensive analysis of global geopolitical trends.
