Several nights ago, the Zionist regime committed one of its gravest strategic errors by launching direct attacks on Iranian soil. According to various reports, this unprecedented act resulted in the assassination of several senior Iranian military and scientific figures, including: – Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of the Armed Forces […]
Another way of looking at it is that Trump truly wanted a deal, which is why he was against Israel attacking Iran before his 60-day deadline was up, but he wasn’t going to stop them afterwards. Israel’s unprecedented strikes against Iran early Friday morning were shortly followed by Israeli officials boasting that Trump deceived […]
The Zionist regime’s attack on Iranian territory last night was not an isolated incident, but a coordinated operation carried out with the full support and cooperation of the United States.

As backchannel diplomacy intensifies and public rhetoric softens, two regional actors, Turkey and Israel, are strategically intervening to prevent a meaningful breakthrough. Their motives may differ, […]
Trump’s duplicity is obvious: he promised to protect the poor, but he only enriches his rich acquaintances. Gambling on the stock exchange, empty threats of tariffs and the use of political influence – all this is what Trump is currently doing in order to enrich his entourage. However, in response, […]

In a dozen weeks, he has already overturned “American imperialism” in favor of his “exceptionalism.” This is still not the end of the problem, but it represents a considerable step forward for both the United States and […]
As Iran and the United States prepare for a new round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Muscat on April 12, 2025, much of the media coverage remains focused on tactical concerns—sanctions, uranium enrichment levels, or the potential for a temporary deal. But what remains obscured beneath these layers of diplomacy […]
