Humble and righteous: From birth to final breath

VANCOUVER — I am writing these words as I watch with tearful eyes the live funeral procession of the martyred Leader of Iran, the late Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. Like countless Iranians abroad, I wish I could stand among the millions who are gathering to bid him farewell. Distance may keep me from the funeral, but it cannot silence my grief, my respect, or my allegiance to his righteous path of antiimperial resistance and the safeguarding of Iran’s sovereignty and independence. These are my farewell words.

The Iran nuclear file: Between diplomatic impasse, strategic restraint, and specter of escalation

CAIRO - The Iranian nuclear issue remains one of the most complex and volatile files in contemporary international relations.

The Unites States of extreme folly is a fact?

Giving the Zionists $33 billion in the past two years has been insane

NORTH CAROLINA - I write from the realm of average Americans of conscience. I write from the world of Americans who live in what is recognizably a grotesque and a widening dystopia that week by week just seems to get worse as the USA under President Donald J. Trump and most of the US Congress inch (if not plunge) the country towards a "failed state" status that seems already to exist in many ways.
