Iranian Lego crushes US media hegemony
TEHRAN - Until just a few months ago, anyone who wanted to shape narratives around war and politics had to stand behind official podiums or have access to massive media networks. Today, that equation has flipped in a surprisingly dramatic way: a few young creators, using nothing more than Lego figures, are now challenging the very figures who once dominated narrative-making figures like Donald Trump, a man who turned media into a personal instrument of power and is now himself being turned into a subject of satire and trolling. This time, the game is unfolding on a field where the rules are no longer dictated solely in Washington or inside major studios.

Iran's rightful sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz: Historical truth meets legal reality
ISLAMABAD - I have been thinking for a long time to write about this. For years, I have watched the world talk about the Strait of Hormuz as if it were some neutral highway that anyone can police from afar. As someone who spent decades on Wall Street building investment portfolios around global energy flows, I have always kept a sharp eye on how trade actually moves across the oceans. An investment banker worth his salt has to understand not just the numbers on a screen but the physical choke points that make or break entire economies.
