Trump’s retreat in the face of Iran’s resilience, deterrence, and initiative
Sobh-e‑No, in its editorial, pointed to Trump’s retreat in the face of a powerful Iran regarding a potential agreement. The framework that can be outlined for an Iran–US agreement includes: Iran’s approval of passage through the Strait of Hormuz under a new management structure that did not exist before the war; Iran’s commitment not to build nuclear weapons—a commitment that already existed before the war; the lifting of oil sanctions; and the release of frozen assets, which together constitute a major strategic gain for Iran.

Zobeiri: Guardian of the Persian Gulf’s millennia-old heritage
Until recently, few imagined human presence on Iran’s Persian Gulf islands extended beyond the last millennium. But archaeological research has transformed this understanding. Excavations on Qeshm Island pushed settlement back nearly 5,000 years, while stone tools on Bam-e Qeshm hinted at an even older past. The discovery of Paleolithic sites on Hormuz Island—Chand-Derakht and Sang-e Ghorab—revealed that Middle Paleolithic populations lived there between 150,000 and 40,000 years ago, highlighting the Persian Gulf’s role in early human migrations. Long before these scientific findings, Master Mohammad Zobeiri had already grasped this deep historical continuity, preserving it in the Deyrestan Anthropology Museum and his book Ganz-e Bapu.
