By taking a surprisingly irrelevant and an unwarranted swipe at the main Iranian opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq ( MEK ), the author seems to be parroting the Iranian regime narrative that wholesale or it is insinuating that there is no viable alternative...

Iranian foreign minister should be banned from Europe, not welcomed – Struan Stevenson Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif There was the usual ­outpouring of criticism when President Trump imposed sanctions on Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s Foreign Minister. The left-wing press predictably went into meltdown, protesting in anger against the blacklisting of a foreign minister.

But, it is worth taking a closer look at why the US State Department took the action it did. As Foreign Minister, Zarif is in charge of Iran’s army of ambassadors ...

Meet Ayatollah  Ahmad Jannati , 92, who heads two powerful committees responsible for appointing Iran’s supreme leader, vetting candidates for key...
