    Iran’s emerging global role

    LONDON - Submission and surrender do not exist in Iran’s political culture. Pressure instead leads to resilience and real efforts to solve problems under difficult conditions. It drives the search for alternatives to anything vulnerable to sanctions or threats. For example, the maritime blockade America seeks to impose on Iran forces Iran to develop alternative land and sea trade routes.

    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.

    TEHRAN – Cuba has faced a fate remarkably similar to Iran's in its encounters with the United States. Both nations are being punished simply for creating and preserving political and governing systems of their own choosing.
