Iran

Oil sanctions are hurting Iran’s economy, argues Javad Heydarian. Are old friends jumping ship as well?

India’s oil imports from Iran have strained ties with the U.S. But they’ve worked things out for now.

A series of revelations suggest that the U.S. and Israel are engaged in a cyber war with Iran. If true, any hope of progress in talks over Iran’s nuclear program could be jeopardized.

The U.S. may not agree or even understand Russia’s view on the Iran nuclear issue. But there are many reasons why Russia won’t put too much pressure on Tehran.

Finding a nuclear deal with Iran doesn’t mean marginalizing human rights. Indeed, reducing fear of aggression will allow more space for debate on domestic political change.

After early signs it might try to exert pressure on Iran, China seems to be easing up. Unfortunately for the West, all roads lead through Beijing.

The IAEA has a critical role to play in resolving the Iran nuclear crisis – one that could serve as a model for dealing with North Korea and Syria.

Iran’s leadership may be hoping that Beijing and Moscow will step in and help it with the West. But it’s not in their interests to do so.

Revelations over Stuxnet should prompt an open discussion over cyber weapons. They probably won’t.

The talks over Iran’s nuclear program were a reminder of how big the gap is between and Tehran and the West.

A new IAEA report says Iran has enriched uranium to a higher level than expected. Should the West worry?

Iran’s leaders see little domestic political benefit to giving into the demands of the U.S. and its partners over Tehran’s nuclear program. The calculation shows no signs of changing.
