It’s seemingly inexplicable to many that one of the world’s top oil exporters won’t help its “ally” survive the ever-worsening fuel crisis, but upon closer consideration and after much-needed critical thinking, it becomes clear that Russia intends to politicize this crisis in order to compel Syria into undertaking further concessions […]
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has concluded a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu in Ankara. While Iran/Turkey relations have long been on the upswing, they continue to move in a positive direction in some very crucial areas. Most overtly, Turkey has been and remains a staunch defender of […]
It’s misleading to assert that Assad “won” the war even though he still remains in office as the country’s democratically elected and legitimate leader since Putin compelled him to “compromise” on several important issues after the Liberation of Aleppo and accept a political reality completely at odds with what one […]
Refusing to acknowledge Russia’s “balancing” acts with “Israel” and Saudi Arabia is a disservice to the Palestinian and Yemeni causes because it ignores the important role that Moscow plays in propping up Tel Aviv and Riyadh, resulting in the artificial creation of the overly simplistic and inaccurate narrative that it’s […]
The US plans to use this possibly impending designation as the basis upon which to “justify” forthcoming Hybrid War measures against the Islamic Republic aimed at dismantling its “deep state” network in the Mideast, including through possible strikes against the IRGC and its Hezbollah allies in Syria.

The US, Russia, China and Iran have at one time or another been opponents of the Afghan Taliban. And yet today, the blindingly obvious truth acknowledged by all of the aforementioned nations is that peace in Afghanistan is impossible without the Taliban being a central element of a peace process.

Turkey’s Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has confirmed that between the 18th and 23rd of March, Turkish and Iranian forces conducted a successful cross-border operation against PKK terrorists and their PJAK affiliates. Turkish media have reported that both sides have agreed to continue their cooperation against a mutual terrorist threat for […]
Donald Trump has announced that the Daesh terror organisation has been destroyed as a paramilitary unit and pseudo-state. As such, there is no longer an excuse for the international community to ignore the dangers of the PKK and its regional affiliates. Since the late 1970s, the PKK has claimed 40,000 […]
