نقش حزب توده در آتش میان ایران و آمریکا

This is an interview with Amirkhosravi, Amouee and Issa Safa>>>

Spiraling Out of Control

Simply put, U.S.-Iran tensions have long been a powder keg, overflowing with nuclear programs, human rights abuses, Stuxnet and secret assassinations. And the alleged terror plot against the Saudi Ambassador shows how easily a single incident can spark a wider conflict. Without serious efforts to defuse a crisis that is steadily spiraling out of control, we are on the precipice of a major war in the region. This is why a containment policy can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy>>>

Wait... War?

Despite what many pundits assert, even if it were established through irrefutable evidence that Iran was indeed behind the foiled plot to assassinate the Saudi’s ambassador to Washington, International law would still not grant the U.S or Saudi Arabia a right to armed reprisal. In fact, even if the assassination attempt had been carried out successfully, it would still have been quite difficult for the State Department’s Legal Adviser to assert ground for a lawful use of force against Iran>>>

Where's the Persian Spring?

How has the Islamic Republic of Iran persisted when all indications point to its imminent collapse? Indeed, one of the most stylized facts to emerge from the study of democracy and dictatorship in the last quarter-century involves the robust relationship between a nation’s political elites and its prospects for democracy. As elites become divided in authoritarian regimes, the state becomes increasingly vulnerable to these fissures and inevitably collapses>>>

It's nothing but IR propaganda. >>>

می‌توان بی‌تفاوت بود و احساس مسئولیتی نکرد؟

تنها اقدام جامعه جهانی از طریق نهادهای حکومتی و سازمان ملل ممکن است بتواند تأثیر عملی بر رفتار رژیم ایران بگذارد. از این رو باید از اقدام اخیر اتحادیه اروپا در تحریم کسانی که در نقض حقوق بشر در ایران دست داشته‌اند استقبال کرد، و از جامعه جهانی خواست که این گونه تحریم‌ها را توسعه دهد. هم‌چنین باید برای کشاندن پرونده حقوق بشر رژیم ایران به مراجع بین‌المللی و از جمله شورای امنیت سازمان ملل تلاش کرد>>>
