This February Iran’s revolution turned 46. Middle age usually brings a measure of wisdom, as men cast aside aspirations of youth and come to terms with hard truths. But Iran’s Islamists are forever young. Too attached to their ideological verities to accept history’s verdict, they press on with their mission to redeem. The Islamic Republic is at an impasse. Its leaders cannot change; the public already has. The mullahs promised much in 1979.

Is it possible for a book to feel both timely and like a relic from a different era? In the case of The Islamic Moses, by the Turkish writer Mustafa Akyol, the answer is yes. The book was completed before the seismic events of October 7, 2023, shattered Jewish-Muslim relations, and the chasm between these communities has only grown wider since. Still, by looking back into centuries of history, this book offers a vision for a path forward.

Whenever I meet journalists who’ve recently acquired the intel beat, I pity them. The conundrum before all journalists covering senior U.S. officials—criticism versus future access—is acutely true for those covering intelligence since the avenues of access are often severely limited. Congress is always the best bet for getting info on sensitive projects because partisan disagreements can produce loose lips.

Not yet, but the international order is bifurcating. Published January 8, 2025 With land wars in Europe and the Middle East and tensions running high in Asia, speculation has only grown louder that we are on the brink of or in the early stages of World War III. We are not. There has not been a foreign attack on the U.S. homeland that would motivate the country to undertake a major national effort to preserve our freedom.

Published December 23, 2024 On October 6, 2023, the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, could have done a tour d’horizon of the Middle East and been proud. His anti-Israeli/anti-American battle plan was working. An array of Shiite and Palestinian Sunni Islamist militias—the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and a smorgasbord of militant groups in Iraq—had effectively given Iran imperial reach at relatively little cost.
