America is putting a brave face on defeat
LONDON - America is in the midst of a rampage, behaving like a bully unleashed upon a city—looting and destroying without restraint. It is driven by deep-seated fear and a systemic lack of security. The world’s bully wants to preserve an empire that can no longer be maintained, and no one restrains it, because excess power in the hands of the fearful can reach the height of foolishness. It is a case of fleeing forward as a result of a real crisis.

‘American rescue’: A mask of compassion, a face of plunder
TEHRAN - While the Trump administration is officially considering regime-change options in Cuba, reviewing the experiences of countries previously targeted for “American rescue” shows that this concept is not about the welfare of nations—it is a cover for blockade, pressure, and systematic plunder. This pattern also explains Washington’s hostility toward Iran.

Over three million pages of DOJ files fuel critical allegations, placing the U.S. president at the heart of Epstein's elite sex scandal network
TEHRAN – The newest release of the Epstein files has once again pulled U.S. President Donald Trump, along with a long list of powerful figures, into the center of a story that refuses to fade. The U.S. Department of Justice — the federal agency responsible for enforcing the law and overseeing the FBI — published more than three million pages of documents, along with thousands of images and videos, on Friday.

TEHRAN – Ted Cruz, the U.S. senator from Texas, has a reputation for rhetoric that often outpaces his grasp of its consequences.
