In Iran, nationwide protests are calling for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. The unrest started in the water-deprived province of Khuzistan but has spread to neighboring provinces and major cities,...
European leaders appear to be eager for a new nuclear deal that would allow them to reap the rewards of investing in the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s newly elected president, Ebrahim Raisi, is known for his brutal and fanatical devotion to the Islamic Republic, a history that it would serve Middle Eastern nations well to remember in future...
What good does it do to feign accountability over Raisi but offer impunity and financial access to a regime that has employed and promoted men like Raisi to the heights of political power?
Similar to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in his day, there are no fake smiles to the West and no illusions when it comes to Iran's president-elect. He openly states his very clear views, and it will be hard to argue, as a result, that Iran needs to be treated sympathetically.
