Trump’s tower of deceit: Epstein’s files pull back the curtain
Over three million pages of DOJ files fuel critical allegations, placing the U.S. president at the heart of Epstein's elite sex scandal network
TEHRAN – The newest release of the Epstein files has once again pulled U.S. President Donald Trump, along with a long list of powerful figures, into the center of a story that refuses to fade. The U.S. Department of Justice — the federal agency responsible for enforcing the law and overseeing the FBI — published more than three million pages of documents, along with thousands of images and videos, on Friday. What emerged is a portrait of Epstein’s world that is both familiar and newly disturbing: a network of wealth, secrecy, and influence that stretched across politics, entertainment, business, and even intelligence circles.

American security and double standard of disorder
TEHRAN - While Donald Trump labels American protesters “professional agitators” and calls for their imprisonment or deportation, the very same pattern of behavior has for years been framed in Western narratives of insecurity in Iran as “civil protest”—a stark rupture in how order, security, and the legitimacy of violence are defined.

Iran's foundations stronger than what Trump dreams of
LONDON - The goal of last year’s June war on Iran was to deliver a strike that would spark unrest. The objective has now shifted toward protests paving the way for another strike. However, both objectives have failed. The driving force behind Trump’s interventions and brutality across various regions lies in the scale of US debt and America’s decline amid competition with China.

US plan: ‘Make Iran Texas again’
Senator Cruz wants to bring Texas-style weaponization to Iran, openly stating that Washington must arm terrorists
TEHRAN – Ted Cruz, the U.S. senator from Texas, has a reputation for rhetoric that often outpaces his grasp of its consequences. He was a central figure whose remarks fuelled the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and he remains infamous among his constituents for fleeing to Cancun during a deadly winter storm that crippled the state’s power grid. On the world stage, he is a reliable advocate for American military intervention, from West Asia to South America.

The West’s double standards on police violence
TEHRAN- In the West, police pursue opposition figures all the way to hospital beds and call it “law enforcement.” In Iran, police restraint is labeled a “bloody crackdown.” This deliberate double standard is not a media mistake; it is the organized censorship of truth and a core component of the narrative war against Iran.

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.
