Nuclear Blackmail: An Admission That the Iranian Regime Seeks Survival, Not Defense
Narrative Analysis: Appeal to Fear
The statements published today in Iran's state-controlled media regarding the country's nuclear program are far more than technical comments about nuclear capability. They represent a significant political message. The remarks made by Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of Kayhan, amount to an almost explicit admission that Iran's obstacle to acquiring a nuclear weapon is not technological capability, but political will. This shift in rhetoric cannot be separated from the aftermath of the recent war, the ongoing negotiations with the United States, and the regime's growing domestic crisis.

Tehran home to ‘super villain convention’ to thwart Middle East peace
Former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy likened Tehran to a "super villain convention" working to disrupt Middle East peace. “Iran is now under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and they’re plotting to rebuild their control in the Middle East,” Mr Levy told Sky News host James Macpherson. “What we’re seeing in Tehran and around Iran now is less of a funeral and more of a super villain convention; they’re bringing together all the worst people in the world … to plot together how to thwart the peace process in the Middle East.”

DANGER!The U.S.
DANGER!The U.S. is quietly making massive concessions to Iran. Reports from Switzerland say the U.S. just agreed to a roadmap that could lift the naval blockade and waive oil sanctions on the world's leading sponsor of terror. Why is the West rewarding a regime that chants 'Death to America' and funds Hamas and Hezbollah? We must stand strong against the Iranian regime, not fund them.
