The global far right is facing a reckoning. Even as their movement gains political traction, legal battles are mounting, threatening to derail their ambitions. From Brazil to France and Romania the leaders and allies of the far right are under increasing scrutiny, revealing deep ties to Russia and a broader strategy of destabilization. Courts have become a crucial bulwark against the far-right tide, but relying solely on the judiciary is not enough.
Iran’s Executions and Nuclear Talks: A Wake-Up Call for the International Community

1 month ago | brusselsmorning.com | Hamid Enayat

Just weeks before direct nuclear negotiations are set to begin between the U.S. and Iran in Muscat, Tehran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has executed a dramatic political U-turn. After publicly denouncing talks with Washington as “unwise, irrational, and dishonorable” in a televised speech on March 2, 2025, he has now quietly agreed to sit at the same negotiating table. This abrupt reversal isn’t just a diplomatic maneuver — it reflects the regime’s acute fear of internal collapse.

Nowruz, the Iranian New Year that begins on the first day of spring (March 21), traditionally marks a moment of renewal and reflection. This year, however, it marks something far more consequential: the unraveling of the Tehran regime’s decades-long strategy for survival.

Don’t Feed the Crocodile - It Only Becomes More Ferocious

Iranian dissidents based in Paris are often the first to hear about the release of French hostages held by the Iranian regime. But the joy that such news brings is always tempered with bitterness — because experience has taught them that such gestures are never without cost. A deal has almost certainly been struck with Tehran, and that deal often comes at the expense of the Iranian Resistance.
Germany faces political shift as economic discontent fuels extremism

Hannah Arendt, in her seminal work “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” elucidated how economic despair and societal atomization can precipitate the rise of authoritarian movements. The AfD’s surge mirrors this analysis. Their platform, steeped in nationalism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, has found fertile ground among voters disillusioned by economic stagnation and a perceived erosion of cultural identity.
Perfidious USA: Make Autocracy Great Again

2 months ago | brusselsmorning.com | Sam Vaknin

Perfidy is the essence of both empire and realpolitik. Perfidious Albion is now usurped by its former colony, the USA. The self-righteous, sanctimonious, and virtue signaling USA has a lengthy history of betraying its most ardent and loyal allies, especially when they are in the throes of existential crises. In the Yalta conference in 1945, President Roosevelt threw Churchill and the British Empire under the bus so as to curry favor with the demented and murderous Stalin.

Will the West’s Policy of Appeasement Toward Iran Force It Closer to Russia?

2 months ago | brusselsmorning.com | Hamid Enayat

The West’s appeasement policy toward Iran, initially intended to contain the regime, has backfired. Instead of curbing Tehran’s ambitions, it has empowered the Islamic Republic, allowing it to expand its regional influence, advance its nuclear program, and intensify domestic repression.
