TEHRAN - Under the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, there is a growing perception that Israeli vicious goals are being prioritized over American interests.
MADRID - For nearly three weeks, the United States and Israel have acted on a set of assumptions about Iran that were as rigid as they were detached from reality. Their campaign sought not merely to degrade capabilities but to reshape the political order. Senior leaders were targeted. Symbols of state authority were assaulted. Diplomatic openings were exploited to create the impression of leverage. Everything suggested a strategy designed to produce systemic transformation.
MADRID – In the weeks since the United States and Israel launched their coordinated and illegal military campaign against Iran, a familiar cast of figures has reappeared across Western media platforms and policy institutes. They arrive as analysts, senior fellows, Iran specialists. Their titles confer the aura of scholarly detachment. They speak about escalation thresholds, deterrence calculations and government survival dynamics. Their tone is measured. Their language is technical. Their authority appears unquestionable.
MADRID - “America First” was meant to be simple. Donald Trump promised restraint abroad and clarity at home. The United States would reduce unnecessary commitments, avoid “endless wars”, and focus on its own national interests. Yet the war with Iran raises an unavoidable question: if America truly comes first, why does US policy appear to follow the strategic priorities of others?
Tehran — Barely two weeks after launching a joint military operation with Israel—ostensibly aimed at regime change—the United States now finds itself sinking into a deepening quagmire of war with Iran.
TEHRAN – Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei long regarded security as the most valuable asset a nation could possess. When he became Iran’s Leader in 1989, the country was emerging from one of the most devastating periods in its modern history.
TEHRAN – “There is no nation like the Iranian nation,” Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said in 1989, only a few months after he was elected as Iran’s Leader. “Iran stands with power, selfconfidence, and determination against any power that seeks to dominate it,” he added.
TEHRAN - Like the 12-day war against Iran last June, the joint U.S.-Israel war against Iran has strengthened unity among the Iranians.
TEHRAN - While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells the Iranian people in English-language video messages that his goal in bombing their homes, hospitals, and schools is to bring them “freedom,” when speaking in Hebrew to Israeli audiences he openly admits that the objective is the elimination of the Iranian nation.
GOA, India - Trump and Netanyahu must have dreamed wild dreams of an across-the-board victory, almost-instant victory after launching the war against Iran. Alas, the war surges, and Israel is under attack with citizens pleading for a stoppage. Fighter jets in U.S. bases in Persian Gulf states have fled in fear.
