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.

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.

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.
