The hidden strategic toll of confronting Tehran
MADRID - In Washington, there remains a persistent temptation to treat a confrontation with Iran as a modular option. Limited strikes, punitive operations, calibrated actions aimed at restoring deterrence without altering the broader strategic balance. That logic has proven effective in other contexts, but with Iran, it is increasingly less so. A US attack on Iranian territory would not be interpreted as a discrete operation or as another episode in a long-standing rivalry. It would be read as a strategic rupture: the moment when the accumulated power of the United States in the Middle East begins generating adverse effects that reinforce one another.

US can’t shirk its legal responsibility regarding the recent unrest in Iran
TEHRAN - The events of January 8 and 9 once again revealed the operational and structural linkage between the Zionist regime and the United States within the context of regional armed conflicts. These events were not merely a series of field or military developments; rather, they carry profound legal implications that, from the perspective of international law—particularly international humanitarian law and human rights law—require serious examination. Neglecting these legal dimensions means normalizing violations of the very principles upon which the foundation of the international legal order rests.

Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza and the monetization of ruins
GOA — Gaza today is not emerging from conflict; it is still being crushed by its consequences. Entire neighbourhoods have been erased, civilians displaced en masse, famine conditions allowed to fester, and allegations of international crimes hang unresolved over the ruins. Any serious discussion of Gaza’s future would begin with a ceasefire, accountability, and the restoration of Palestinian political agency. Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” begins elsewhere. It begins with money, authority, and control.

Israel’s military has effectively transformed a signed truce into a period of controlled aggression, conducting near-daily strikes that have claimed hundreds of innocent lives.
