With the rise of Masoud Pezeshkian, Washington gets one more chance at a nuclear deal and reconciliation. Failure all but ensures a nuclear Iran and a slew of geopolitical setbacks for the West.

The deaths of Iran’s president and foreign minister may spur some internal debates, but don’t expect domestic and foreign policy to undergo any radical changes.

Domestic issues are likely behind a recent strike on Pakistan, but the swift and in-kind reaction undoubtedly caught Tehran by surprise.

The Qatari monarchy is all too aware that Tehran’s upheaval today could be Doha’s uprising tomorrow, and responds to the Masha Amini protests accordingly.

The political cost of decades of placating regime hardliners is now evident in the unrest sweeping Iran’s cities.

The next succession of Iran’s Supreme Leader represents a golden opportunity for Persia to rise once more in the Middle East.

Will the wave of protests centered on the death of Masha Amini have a different outcome than previous nation-wide outbreaks of unrest?

Now over 42 years on, the disaster of the so-called Islamic revolution is still playing out for the long-suffering people of Iran.

New nationwide protests are heaping pressure on the Rouhani regime; but all routes to a political solution remain blocked off.

Tehran tries to put one fire out while preparing for an inferno.
