  • Hamid Reza Gholamzadeh
    Hamid Reza Gholamzadeh “Jalili won't be able to completely avoid talks with the West, as Pezeshkian won't focus just on nuclear talks. Iran's foreign policy will also depend on external factors - most importantly, the US election in November. The challenge is not from inside Iran but from outside - on whether Trump or Biden wins. Even if Pezeskhian is the president, he will face foreign challenges, rather than domestic.” 9 hours ago
  • Vali R. Nasr
    Vali R. Nasr “When it comes to the nuclear deal, the president can be very important in exploring possibilities for different kinds of outcomes. Pezeshkian would make a case to start talks with the US while Jalili would not. For sanctions to be lifted, one needs to be interested in talking with the West - whether you have… an intransigent president, it does make a difference.” 9 hours ago
  • Ali Vaez
    Ali Vaez “If you get 180-degree change between a Trump or a [current US President Joe] Biden administration on the general trajectory of the US, in Iran, with a change of presidency, you get a 45 percent difference - it's not insignificant but not as impactful as in other countries. There are elements of continuity that limit how much change one can see.” 9 hours ago
  • Leif-Eric Easley
    Leif-Eric Easley “In both North Korean politics and military policy, the best defense is often a good offense. Pyongyang is also determined not to appear weak while South Korea conducts defense exercises with Japan and the United States.” 18 hours ago
  • Rim-Sarah Alouane
    Rim-Sarah Alouane “Le Pen has done plastic surgery to her party. But is it still the same rotten, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, anti-minorities party … we know what the far right is standing for. The results of this vote were also a rejection of Macron's policies, with the president seen as haughty and pandering to the wealthy. I know personally about cases of people who voted for the far right because of the policies made by Macron, especially at an economic level.” 19 hours ago
  • Laurent Berger
    Laurent Berger “This evening, our democracy and our republican values ​​are at stake in the face of the National Rally on the threshold of power. In the face of danger … It is imperative to block the extreme right.” 19 hours ago
  • Marine Le Pen
    Marine Le Pen “The French have shown their willingness to turn the page on a contemptuous and corrosive power.” 19 hours ago

POLITICS  CURRENT EVENTS 

20 Jun 2024

“There is no real conflict between the state of Israel and Lebanon. The conflict is all around the core issue of Israel and Palestine. This is why international attention needs to be focused on finding the diplomatic, political end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, first and foremost, the war in Gaza. The escalating fighting and bold rhetoric between Israel and Hezbollah is cause for concern. It's a very dangerous picture right now with both sides being quite bold in their remarks. A great deal of ignorance here of each side threatening to hit the other going way beyond what they've done in the past eight and a half months. It's extraordinarily dangerous for the people of Israel and the people of Lebanon if this war escalates anymore.”
