    West exploited media to influence JCPOA talks, and Iran wants to prevent a repeat of that

    TEHRAN – Western governments have long wielded the media as a political tool. They use it to justify their crimes against other nations, manufacture consent for future ones, and demonize their adversaries. this practice is as old as World War I, when both sides crafted narratives through newspapers, posters, films, speeches, and cartoons to persuade their people that sacrificing their lives for a conflict of devastating destruction was essential.

    A nuclear deal with Iran is possible—but only if the U.S. learns from history

    As the second round of nuclear talks between the United States and Iran gets underway this weekend, suspicion and distrust between the two sides remain high. U.S. President Donald Trump continues to make threats against the country I served for years as a policymaker and a diplomat. Understandably, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei remains cautious. “We are very pessimistic about the other side, but we are optimistic about our own capabilities,” he said recently.

    Experience of talks could have been different, but US did not want

    TEHRAN - Western media and analysts like to have their own interpretations of events. There's nothing wrong with that!

The upcoming UN Conference on Palestine, set for June 2025, can be a turning point – a decisive, irreversible path towards peace in the Middle East. The Trump administration would greatly serve America’s interests, and the world’s, by championing the two-state solution and a comprehensive Middle East peace deal, at the gathering in New York in June.
