The Active but Absent Player in Iran nuclear Negotiations

1 week ago | brusselsmorning.com | Hamid Enayat

The actor who, both before and during the nuclear negotiations, gradually forced the Iranian regime into retreat—from bringing it to the negotiating table to extracting one concession after another—was not officially present. Yet, its role was decisive. The question is: who is this actor?
The Real Answer to Iran’s Crisis Lies Within: The People and Their Resistance

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.

According to a statement from the Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the number of executions in Iranian year 1403 rose by 42% compared to the previous year (815 recorded executions). This surge is primarily linked to the failures of the Iranian dictator Ali Khamenei’s regional policies. Hoping that war in the Middle East would serve as a shield against future uprisings in Iran, Khamenei escalated regional tensions.
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

Mar 6, 2025 | brusselsmorning.com | Raphael Tsavkko Garcia

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

Mar 3, 2025 | 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.
