Dr. Jack Varona was the assistant deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for technical affairs. He was the head of the USA delegation at an Israel-USA 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
