Posted on

“There has now been one year of successful Iranian implementation of the JCPOA despite repeated US violations of the spirit of the deal.

Posted on

“CENTCOM and the Qods Force are the most powerful and influential outside actors in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and the Persian Gulf. Even in Yemen, American and Saudi officials contend the Qods Force is a primary opponent. As such, if there is to be a peaceful solution to any regional crises, cooperation with the IRGC is a must.

Trump Cannot Afford To Shut Out Iran If He Wants To Defeat ISIS

Posted on

“Trump’s current foreign policy approach is not only self-defeating, but also forgoes a golden opportunity to shape a coherent strategy that would allow him to usher in a political solution to the Syrian war, destroy ISIS and repair U.S. ties with the Kremlin.
