Iran Duping Trump with IAEA Inspections. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

1 week ago | gatestoneinstitute.org | Majid Rafizadeh

Once again, the United States has sat down with Iran for yet another round of nuclear negotiations — this time the fifth. And once again, we are told that there will be another round in the "near future." Sound familiar? It should. Iran's cat-and-mouse diplomatic theater is not a breakthrough; it is a rerun.
India and Pakistan: 'A Bad Nuclear War'

1 week ago | gatestoneinstitute.org | Gordon Chang

"We stopped a nuclear conflict, I think it could have been a bad nuclear war, millions of people could have been killed, so I'm very proud of that," President Donald Trump told reporters on May 12. Proud he should be.
The Consequences of Trump Walking Away from the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

1 week ago | gatestoneinstitute.org | Con Coughlin

Far from helping to end the war in Ukraine, all the indications suggest that US President Donald Trump's mediation efforts are not only prolonging the conflict, but increasing the likelihood that Russia will ultimately emerge victorious. Trump's pledge to end the conflict within 24 hours of taking office now seems but a distant memory.
France: Grand Principles and Sentiments

1 week ago | gatestoneinstitute.org | Amir Taheri

If you are under pressure to do something but know that you can't do anything, what do you do? Well, you do nothing but to appear to be doing something. You invoke grand principles and grand sentiments. This is what French President Emmanuel Macron and his Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot have been doing in a rather quixotic way with regard to the ongoing tragedy in the Gaza Strip.
To President Trump: The Iranian Regime Will Always Seek Your and America's Death

2 weeks ago | gatestoneinstitute.org | Majid Rafizadeh

Since the founding of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979, its regime has operated with one unshakable and unwavering ideological mission: to defy, destabilize and ultimately destroy the influence and presence of the United States and its allies, especially Israel. This is not speculation. It is in the slogans shouted in their streets, in the sermons delivered by their clerics, and in the laws enshrined in their constitution.
Trump Must Reject Qatar's Dubious 'Flying Palace' Offer

2 weeks ago | gatestoneinstitute.org | Con Coughlin

If US President Donald Trump is really serious about bringing peace to the Middle East, then he should rethink again accepting the gift of a luxury $400 million aircraft from the rulers of Qatar. The country is renowned for its continuing support for Islamist terror groups, for continuing to fan the flames that would reignite the fundamentalist Arab Spring, for anti-US terrorist activity and for attacks on the US.
Leo and the Modern Attila

He had hardly finished addressing the crowd in front of Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City that Robert Provost, as the newly minted Pope Leo XIV, was transformed into a blank face on which interest groups and lobbies of all kind could draw the image they would like him to become. Since we are now used to a new kind of journalism, let's call that the journalism of what might be, as opposed to what has actually happened.
Iran Is Using North Korea's Playbook - And the US Is Falling for It Again

3 weeks ago | gatestoneinstitute.org | Majid Rafizadeh

As the United States continues negotiations with Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons, if it does not already have them, it has become clear that the Islamic Republic's regime is not pursuing these talks in good faith. Far from viewing negotiations as a means toward a peaceful resolution, the Iranian regime appears to see them as a tool that has proven successful before, not only for itself but also for its authoritarian ally, North Korea.

Beijing, Trump proclaimed, will "suspend and remove all of its non-monetary barriers."In the meantime, both the U.S. and China agreed to drop tariffs by 115 percentage points. The general American tariff rate on China's goods is now 30%. The general Chinese rate is 10%. Both reductions will be in effect for 90 days.
