The most important factor in shaping US policy towards Iran is domestic politics – not Obama’s own geopolitical vision.

How did a false Iran nuclear narrative come to dominate global politics?

The US and Israel continue ignoring the actual evidence in terrorism cases to advance their political interests.

Netanyahu will no doubt campaign for re-election at home by demonising Iran as an “existential threat”, writes Porter.

Iran has been developing nuclear capacities in order to obtain leverage in diplomatic talks with the United States.

The bombing of an Israeli diplomat’s car in India isn’t consistent with Iranian or Hezbollah involvement.

The contradictions of Obama’s policy toward Iran went unnoticed in the US, but not in Iran and Israel, writes Porter.

Rabbani could not offer the Taliban the one condition needed for a peace agreement – the full withdrawal of US troops.

As US drone strikes continue to take innocent lives, Pakistan’s military demand veto power over US decisions.
