Nuclear Deal

The Iran “morality police” story is an example of Iranian media wanting to report a story that may be part of a feedback loop.

Now that the midterm elections are over, and as Democrats secured a majority in the US Senate, some experts in Washington believe that the two countries might now try to jump-start negotiations.

The G7 has also expressed support for Iran’s protests as well as condemning Russia's use of Iranian drones in their war against Ukraine.

Efforts to revive the nuclear deal have stalled and ties between Iran and the West are increasingly strained as Iranians keep up anti-governement protests.

The reason the talks are at a standstill is that “Iran has taken a position in those talks for the past two months, which is simply inconsistent with a return to the deal,” Rob Malley told CNN.

REGIONAL AFFAIRS: Protests are unlikely to topple the regime, which may respond with some kind of radical change in policy.

Iran wanted to remake the Middle East. It had dispatched Shi’ite proxy armies to Syria, with their families to reconfigure the regional demography as it aspired to convert Syria into a Shi'ite State.

The issue is not as superficial as some observers and analysts think. The Israeli-American strategic alliance is not being tested as much as people think.

National Security Council chief Eyal Hulata says that Iran will only change nuclear policy if presented with a credible military threat.
