Iran: Creating BRICS opportunities for Iran's acting

In an analysis, the Iran newspaper addressed the 15th BRICS summit in South Africa, which started work on Wednesday and will last until Thursday. It said: The biggest discussion that has taken place so far in BRICS is about devising a separate monetary system by sidelining the dollar in international transactions. One of the fundamental policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the field of foreign policy has been the "policy of negation of sovereignty". Iran has always tried to counter the domination system. Now BRICS is actually a kind of counteraction to this superiority-seeking approach of the West. Therefore, Iran’s policy is compatible with BRICS. It can create opportunities for us to act more dynamically in this transition period. Iran's economy has been able to move forward despite sanctions. However, BRICS will create an opportunity to minimize the use of the dollar and pursue alternative currencies. The biggest economic opportunity for Iran lies with this.

Hamshahri: America's top-secret documents for war with Iran on the couch

Mark Meadows, the former chief of staff of the U.S. president, wrote in a draft of his memoir that Trump, in a conversation with an anonymous biographer, left top-secret documents related to a plan for war against Iran on a couch at his golf residence in New Jersey, which contained a four-page report and he had suddenly shown it to other people. Trump admitted that the document was classified and he should not have revealed it. This contradicted his repeated claims to release all private documents. This unexpected issue shows that Trump has been even more careless than previously thought about this secret program; an issue that could be an indescribable importance to America's geopolitical enemies or rival allies of Iran such as Israel and especially Saudi Arabia. Meadows told the prosecutor's office that Trump never told him he had leaked a large number of classified documents.
