Power that devours itself
TEHRAN – Power in politics, if it crosses the boundary of balance, turns from a strategic capacity into an internal threat.

Iran pursues US at UN after Trump admits he was 'in charge of' June war
TEHRAN – "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." That is the warning U.S. police give criminal suspects when they are arrested.
