  The United States vs. the International Criminal Court: A New Battle Between National Sovereignty and Global Justice Introduction The announcement of a new U.S. campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) has once again brought a long-standing dispute between Washington and international justice institutions to the center of global attention. The U.S. government argues that the ICC represents a threat to American sovereignty because it claims the authority to investigate, prosecute, and potentially punish American officials and military personnel. Supporters of the ICC, however, argue that international courts are essential to ensuring accountability for serious crimes and preventing impunity, regardless of a person’s political position or nationality. This confrontation reflects a broader debate in international politics: should national sovereignty remain the highest principle, or should international institutions have the power to hold individuals accountable f...

  Power Transition in the Islamic Republic: The Marginalization of Hardliners or a Reconfiguration of the System? An Exclusive Analysis by Radio Jiyar Introduction Recent developments within the Islamic Republic of Iran have raised important questions about the emerging balance of power inside the country's political establishment. On one hand, renewed nuclear negotiations and efforts to reduce external tensions have once again become central issues. On the other hand, several influential figures associated with hardline factions appear to play a less prominent role in political discourse and strategic decision-making than in previous years. These developments have led some analysts to suggest that a gradual internal power transition may be underway—one that does not fundamentally alter the structure of the Islamic Republic but could shift influence toward more pragmatic actors who favor diplomacy and crisis management. Chapter One: Shifting Power Dynamics Within the Establishment ...

  Why Does the Islamic Republic Not End? The Anatomy of a Self-Healing Dictatorship By: Shoresh Mohi Introduction: The Illusion of Collapse Every time a major crisis hits the Islamic Republic of Iran — from the 2009 protests to the November 2019 unrest, from the 2022 uprising to recurring rumors of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s death — a familiar voice emerges saying: “This time it’s over.” Yet the system not only survives; it often emerges stronger and more ruthless. This recurring illusion — this painful hope that every shock leads to collapse — has itself become one of the regime’s most powerful tools. It keeps opponents waiting for a miracle while distracting them from understanding the real structure of power. The Islamic Republic is not merely a dictator, nor is it purely an ideology. It is a complex, multilayered, highly adaptable network of interests, fears, dependencies, and organized violence that, over four decades, has repeatedly redefined itself at the edge of c...

 Death in Dalahoo; Has the Islamic Republic Begun a New Phase of Silencing Kurdistan? At dawn on May 28, 2026, the village of Qal'eh-Kahwosh in Dalahoo became the scene of another bloody episode in the ongoing repression of Iranian Kurdistan.

Mojtaba Weisi was also recognized as an athlete and musician. Their names ...

  🇮🇷 Iran After the War: The End of a Crisis or the Beginning of a Harder Return? Geopolitical analysis of the Middle East, Israel, the United States, and the future of the Islamic Republic The Middle East has once again entered a phase where the boundaries between war, political bargaining, intelligence operations, and psychological warfare are increasingly blurred. In recent months, the region has witnessed direct and indirect confrontations, targeted assassinations, cyber operations, internal repression in Iran, and a wave of conflicting narratives from all sides. With growing talk of “understandings” or “temporary ceasefires,” the central question emerges: Is the Iran–Middle East crisis truly coming to an end, or is it simply entering a more complex and volatile phase? Many analysts argue that what we are witnessing is neither peace nor decisive victory for any side, but rather a tactical pause —a moment of exhaustion in which regional and global actors attempt to rebuil...
