    Trump’s ASEAN outreach and Washington’s strategic drift from West Asia

    TEHRAN - Donald Trump’s attendance at the 47th ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur marks a symbolic yet telling redirection of American foreign policy. After two decades of overreach and strategic exhaustion in West Asia, Washington appears to be searching for a new stage on which to project power. Southeast Asia dynamic, contested, and economically vital offers a setting where the U.S. can reassert visibility while avoiding the immense political and military costs that have accompanied its interventions in the Middle East.

    Trump’s admission of war role was a ‘calculated deception,’ says Iran’s embassy in Tokyo

    TEHRAN – The Iranian Embassy in Tokyo has strongly condemned the U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks acknowledging his command role in Israel’s June aggression against Iran, describing them as a “self-incriminating admission” that exposes the diplomatic façade concealing a premeditated campaign of violence against the Islamic Republic.

    War or peace: What Hegseth and Trump signal

    TEHRAN – U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered a speech on Friday that left no ambiguity: the United States is not seeking to avoid war — it is actively preparing for a global confrontation. Speaking at the National War College, Hegseth compared today’s world to 1939, the year World War II began, and 1981, when Cold War tensions surged. These weren’t just historical references — they were warnings. And more than that, they were a roadmap.

    Why Venezuela’s fate matters to Iran

    TEHRAN – Could a U.S. attack on Venezuela serve as a prelude to a future strike against Iran? This is one of the most frequently asked questions in Iranian circles today regarding the fate of Caracas and the Maduro government.

    Trump’s gilded cage and the sycophancy doctrine

    A global playbook of flattery fraying statecraft’s spine with spectacles and shadows

    TEHRAN – The spectacle has become the point. Fighter jets escort Air Force One. Prime ministers arrive with golf relics and gold-leaf baubles. Foreign leaders orchestrate airport pageants and shield Donald Trump from protesters — not to salute partnership but to flatter a temperament that prizes adulation above counsel.

    TEHRAN – Just a year ago, Zohran Mamdani was little known outside Queens, the New York City borough he represents. Now, at just 34 years old, he has made history as the new Mayor of New York City — the largest and most influential city in the United States.

    War didn't halt enrichment; pressure won't either

    Araghchi says a 'fair' deal possible if US scraps 'unacceptable' conditions

    TEHRAN – In an interview with Qatari media, Iran's foreign minister reiterated what has essentially been the country’s position for decades: the United States cannot make Iran blink. Neither sanctions, nor threats, nor even wars – like the one Washington and Israel waged against Iran in June – will succeed. A win-win deal remains the only off-ramp from the escalating high tensions.

    From Abe to Takaichi: A historic milestone, a familiar path

    TEHRAN – Sanae Takaichi’s election as Japan’s first female prime minister on October 21 was a landmark moment in a country long dominated by male political leadership. But while her rise broke a gender barrier, her governance so far reflects continuity more than change. Takaichi is not a political outsider—she’s a veteran of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and a protégé of the late Shinzo Abe, whose nationalist and conservative legacy continues to shape Japan’s direction.

    New reporting in the Wall Street Journal and the Miami Herald says the Trump administration “has identified targets in Venezuela that include military facilities used to smuggle drugs,” and that Washington “has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela” — strikes that, the Herald wrote Friday, “could come at any moment.”

    Trump’s illusion of Gaza truce is masking continued violence

    TEHRAN – Trump’s peace plan masks ongoing Israeli regime attacks on Gaza, threatening a fragile ceasefire. After yet another collapse of what U.S. President Donald Trump heralded as a historic peace deal, it has become increasingly clear that the supposed truce between the Israeli regime and Palestinian resistance forces was a fiction from the start.

    West Asia according to Trump: Iran as the pivot of regional strategy

    MADRID – In the pantheon of U.S. foreign policy, where doctrines bearing names such as Monroe or Truman are revered, the administration of Donald Trump attempted to forge a new one: a theology of power. Not a doctrine in the classical sense, a set of principles applicable to an external, objective world—but a pseudo-faith in which order and chaos depend on the singular will of the president.
