TEHRAN – The story resembles a cinematic plot—perhaps even stranger and more surreal. A wealthy man with a private island and a fleet of private jets who, for decades, provided “special services” to an elite circle: from presidents and prime ministers to congressional leaders, diplomats, princes, members of royal families, multi-billionaires, tech titans, Nobel laureates, and stars of music, cinema, and sports.

In short, the “hand-picked” from every rarefied class were the patrons of this secret club—a sanctuary for the world’s power players where the host catered to his guests with the most shameful of animalistic pleasures.

The host was none other than Jeffrey Epstein, a name that now consumes the media and global public opinion more than any other.

Recently, three million documents from this dark and historic case have been released, and with each passing day, new names and scandals emerge from its depths.

It is a cesspool; the deeper one delves, the more filth and stench are revealed, raising increasingly serious questions and ambiguities.

This sewer is completing the true portrait of the power-wealth network in the United States: a landscape that is simultaneously villainous, hypocritical, steeped in impunity, corrupt, bribe-ridden, seductive, and debauched.

Despite the release of millions of documents, the questions remain far more numerous and graver than the answers.

For instance, how was this network of corruption allowed to take shape? Is it not naive to reduce the entire saga to a single name, belonging to a man who died under highly suspicious circumstances in prison just weeks after his arrest?

Why and how, despite overwhelming evidence, have the perpetrators in this case enjoyed immunity from prosecution?

How deep and structural are the ties between Epstein and this case to the Israeli regime, specifically the Mossad, an entity specialized in laying “honey traps” and the security exploitation of compromised individuals?

How, in so-called modern societies, have shameful vices become normalized and reduced to the level of mere political and legal bickering? How can a society cultivate “elites” of this caliber and seat them in positions of supreme authority?

Perhaps the most critical question of all is this: Should we—and can we—regard Epstein’s death and the closure of that hellish island as the end of the criminal and sordid activities of that global syndicate?

Seeking an answer to this is more vital than the preceding questions; while the others look toward the past, this one addresses the present and the future.

Naturally, finding a definitive and documented answer is no simple task, but one can weigh the dimensions of the matter.

That brazen circle of depravity was built on demand, and Epstein’s network formed and operated a “filthy supply chain” to meet that dark demand.

With the current scandal, the old supply chain has been disrupted, but the demand persists. The former clients are still there, and there is no sign of change in them—except, perhaps, for a heightened sense of caution.

When it is possible to influence—if not outright control—the most powerful, wealthiest, and most influential figures in America, Europe, and dozens of other nations by hosting depraved gatherings, why would another Epstein not be active at this very moment?

What could possibly prevent the reconstruction of such a network of corruption? After all, the world is not short on private islands.
