The possibility of a change in Iran’s nuclear doctrine
TEHRAN- Hours before the Israeli "response" sending a couple of drones that were intercepted in Isfahan, the commander in charge of protecting the country's nuclear facilities, Ahmad Haqtalab, sent a message to the Zionist Entity stating that if it intended to attack any of the country's nuclear installations, this action could force a change in Iran's nuclear strategic doctrine.

Palestine-Israel conflict: Implications on international order
The current conflict between Palestine and Israel, as a result of Israel’s long occupation and triggered by the October 7 Hamas attack, has already proved to be consequential in many ways, big and small. As an issue catching the eye all over the world, the positions and reactions of major powers, and the interactions of regional and extra-regional actors, will all become part of the history, and the implications of the conflict on international order are particularly worthy of talking about.

The West facing challenges in the Gaza conflict
TEHRAN- In recent weeks, there has been a notable rise in official opposition from Western governments towards the policies of the occupying Israeli regime concerning the Gaza Strip. As a result, various restrictions have been placed on arms and financial aid to the Tel Aviv regime, particularly targeting financial transactions and support for border settlements with Gaza and newly established settlements on the West Bank.

Arabs: It is the 11th hour—stand up against Israel and the United States
Honor matters and shamelessness has its limits
Let’s face it. Arabs have done precious little in support of Palestinians since Israel’s unfolding massacre in 2024, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, inhumanity and yes, genocide in Gaza. If you don’t act now, all future generations of Arabs will be ashamed of their Arab heritage. All Muslims should be right behind you in support. And if there is any humanity left in us at all, we must all join the chorus of support.

American duplicity and Arab cowardice enabling Israeli war crimes and ethnic cleansing
President Biden, looking somber, keeps urging Israel to avoid civilian deaths and to use targeted strikes on Hamas. Yet he keeps supplying Israel with 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs that are designed to kill indiscriminately and over a wide area!

How I learned not to build memorial statues
TEHRAN- When I heard the words of the Irish lawyer defending South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice, I began to reminisce about an old memory of mine during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.

I will refrain from describing the tragedy we can all see livestreaming before our eyes—genocidal intent, acts of genocide and the slaughter of thousands of women and children. Yes, Israel has the right to defend itself, but this does not include committing genocide along the way.

The humiliation of international law
TEHRAN- What is happening in the Gaza Strip is unprecedented in human history. This densely populated area is being bombarded with hundreds of missiles every day. Thousands of people have been martyred and every second that passes we see more children and women being brutally martyred by the Zionist regime.

Nuclear war can be avoided if the U.S. gets wise…
From afar one gets the impression that Iran’s fortunes are improving. The exchange of prisoners between the U.S. and Iran and the return of $6 billion stolen dollars to Iran is a positive. Iran also has joined BRICS, the Global South is more or less rejecting Western hegemony, Africa is pushing off French colonialism, and U.S. and Western dominance is unraveling some like never before since World War 2.

Through BRICS Iran is seeing the opportunity to translate political gains into economic profits
‘Iran’s accession into BRICS is also a milestone in China-Iran relations’
August 24 saw BRICS adopted Iran together with five other countries as new members defying Western rhetoric and discourse weakening the mechanism. The historic enlargement of BRICS will create new momentum for the mechanism itself and will enhance global efforts resisting hegemony and unilateralism.

Another sign of ‘new order’
TEHRAN - Iran's membership in BRICS can be viewed from various perspectives. The first and most important point about Tehran's membership is that it shows that the United States is no longer the undisputed global superpower that determines where anyone should sit or that anyone has no right to sit at all.

The U.S. mainstream media is desperate with lies…
“For the U.S. and its NATO allies, these past 18 months have been a strategic windfall, at relatively low cost (other than for the Ukrainians). The West’s most reckless antagonist has been rocked. NATO has grown much stronger with the additions of Finland and Sweden. Germany has weaned itself from dependence of Russian energy and, in many ways, rediscovered its sense of values. NATO squabbles make headlines, but overall it has been a triumphal summer for the alliance.”

Avoid moral decline because the result is failure…
America in the distant past had a shred of moral decency. Although Russia essentially won World War 2 against the Nazis and Japanese, even at the very end of the war which it rightfully helped “win” it stooped low to drop two atomic bombs on Japan over which it had already triumphed. Why? Because the U.S. wanted to send a threatening message to countries like the Soviet Union that the U.S. aimed to scare and dominate, not to mention the cruel punishment to Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
