Pirates of the 21st century

TEHRAN – “The essence of America is bullying, plundering the resources of other countries, and betraying its allies.” This proposition stands as one of the most vital pillars of the order currently dominating international affairs.

The collapse of Western moral hegemony

TEHRAN – In one of the most pivotal junctures of global politics in this decade, Israel’s war on Gaza has emerged not merely as a humanitarian catastrophe, but as a historical mirror reflecting the precipitous collapse of legitimacy for traditional international powers.

America, exhausted and broken

Deciphering the new U.S. National Security Strategy

TEHRAN – The second Trump administration has released a 33-page National Security Strategy document, unveiled under the “America First” banner and centered on redefining Washington’s role in the world.

The arsonist masquerading as peacemaker

How the U.S. sacrificed Ukraine for its own geopolitical interests

TEHRAN – The Ukraine war has evolved into one of the most intricate and tangled issues on the global stage. On one side, the Ukrainian government is beset by severe internal crises—acute manpower shortages and sprawling corruption scandals—while on the other, Russia, despite sustaining various losses and setbacks, continues to hold the clear upper hand on the battlefield.

Genocide's poisonous fruit: Worldwide loathing

TEHRAN – By perpetrating the most heinous crimes in Gaza, Israel has not only reaffirmed its status as the most detested entity on the global stage and plunged itself into even deeper isolation, but has also dragged the United States down with it—rendering Washington an object of worldwide loathing.

Venezuela: Next stop in the campaign to topple sovereign nations

TEHRAN – “The people of South America—in Venezuela and the other countries of the region—are profoundly calm by nature and deeply averse to tension and confrontation.”

Beirut struck: Resistance strategy vindicated

Israel, the principal agent of disorder in the region, this time shed even the pretense of moral restraint and, without the slightest warning, attacked the Lebanese capital on November 23.

Power that devours itself

TEHRAN – Power in politics, if it crosses the boundary of balance, turns from a strategic capacity into an internal threat. In the political realm, power is a double-edged sword: an instrument that can create security and influence, yet if used unrestrained and to excess, it gradually erodes its own foundations.

Trump’s ‘Southern Spear’ gambit to escape a string of setbacks

TEHRAN – Donald Trump, in his second presidential term, continues to pursue the long-standing, overarching U.S. approach of bullying and advancing interests by force — but he now presents that policy in a blunt, unvarnished form.

These 200 corpses bear witness

Genocide persists despite claims of a ceasefire in Gaza

Recent Israeli attacks on Gaza — which killed 100 Palestinians, including 35 children — have once again laid bare the true nature of that regime and its Western backers.

A cancerous tumor does not become ‘normal’

TEHRAN – Normalization is not merely reopening an embassy, resuming direct flights, a few handshake photos, or a handful of diplomatic signatures.

Yahya, the name of all Gaza’s sons

TEHRAN – On the first anniversary of the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the Al-Aqsa Storm operation, it must be emphasized that he was far more than a resistance leader. Sinwar was the strategic architect of an irreparable defeat—one that shook the very foundations of the Zionist regime.
