Sanctions on Syria could have extended for a year or more due to various considerations, including the uncertainty surrounding the country’s political future, reservations about its new leadership, or concerns from powers like Israel. The United States does not lift sanctions except after a lengthy evaluation; it previously signed a deal with the Taliban, yet Afghanistan has remained under economic sanctions for four years.

Politically, economically, and beyond, it was a visit for the history books- that much is clear from Trump’s statements about the development he witnessed in Saudi Arabia alone.

Iranian commentators appear to be relaxed about the prospects of the ongoing negotiations with the United States. Some have implied that a honeymoon period is possible with the “Great Satan” if its intentions are sincere. They speak of a mutual need. Iran needs an agreement that would end the cycles of sanctions and accusations, while the American administration needs an achievement of the size of an agreement over Iran’s nuclear deal.

If wars and disasters shake ideas and convictions, how has no proposal that goes beyond immediate policy been put forward as this war rages on?

Before delving into whether or not to participate in the parliamentary elections scheduled for next November, the kinds of electoral and political alliances that should be formed, or even the results and turnout, we must take a moment to think deeply about the electoral system.

Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, leaks about Iran and its nuclear file have not stopped – whether it is what he is saying openly or what is being leaked by his administration or the Israelis or even the Iranian lobby in Washington. The leaks only increased with the second round of negotiations between the Iranians and Americans in Rome on Saturday. Tehran itself, as well as its allies and opponents in the region, have also been behind some leaks.
