Iran has faced waves of anti-government protests over the past two decades, leaving the country in an uncertain moment. As divisions deepen, will protests rise again?

COLUMN: Iran’s strategy is by now clear: Impose an intolerable economic cost on President Trump.

One of the last lines of defence is a couple of oil pipelines offerign a partial (**emphasis on partial**) bypass of the Strait of Hormuz.

🚨 This is Mojtaba Khamenei’s £100 million London mansion.

He enjoys the finer things in life.

Investigations have linked him to luxury properties on London’s “Billionaires’ Row,” held through associates and shell companies.

The Khamenei family is believed to control hundreds of of billions in offshore wealth and global assets while ordinary Iranians face severe economic hardship.

On Pier Paolo Pasolini’s birthday, revisit this interview where he talks about fascism and consumer society.

«The real fascism doesn’t wear black shirts, it sells progress. Consumer society achieved what fascism couldn’t: erase cultures, uniformize lives, and destroy Italy without anyone noticing. Fascism wasn’t defeated, it was replaced»

Stacie Goddard and Josh Kertzer argue that Washington strategists should think more like social scientists, which means “not only making their paradigmatic assumptions explicit but striving to explain why the other sides are misguided.”
