MEMRI – A Vital Component in the U.S. War on Terror

MEMRI's work directly supports the U.S. in its fight against terrorism. Highly trained staff thoroughly translate and analyze open-source materials that include television programming, radio, newspapers, textbooks, and websites.

Every single day, MEMRI receives requests from members of the U.S. government, military, and legislature, and provides thousands of pages of translations of content from Arab, Iranian, South Asian, Turkish, and North African media, in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Pashtu, Dari, Turkish, and other languages (including print, broadcast, and online); from jihadi social media accounts, websites, and forums; and from mosque sermons and schoolbooks, in addition to tens of thousands of hours of translated content from Arab, Iranian, South Asian, Turkish, and satellite television channels based in and connected to the region.

This video takes you from the halls of government to the briefing rooms of the U.S. military to the frontlines of counter-terrorism efforts, and demonstrates just how MEMRI has become – A Vital Component in the U.S.'s Fight Against Terrorism.
