Assistant Deputy Director of the DIA for technical affairs who headed the U.S. delegation at a 1979 Israel-U.S. intelligence exchange.

Dr. Jack Varona was the assistant deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for technical affairs. He was the head of the United States delegation at an Israel-United States intelligence exchange conference in late September 1979.1

Jack Varona was criticized by Ari Ben-Menashe for his indifference and lack of understanding regarding the Iraq threat to Iran. He was more concerned with obtaining details about Soviet Union-made military equipment than with the urgent situation in Iran.1
