    Ci sono momenti in cui scrivere non aiuta. Momenti in cui le parole diventano troppo piccole, quasi fuori luogo. Quello che è accaduto in Iran a metà gennaio non entra nei titoli, non si lascia spiegare da analisi o commenti. Quando la violenza supera i limiti del linguaggio, le frasi crollano. E allora il silenzio diventa una scelta etica. Questo silenzio non nasce dalla paura. Non è indifferenza. E non è dimenticanza. È lutto. Le persone sono in lutto. Per chi non c’è più, ma anche per qualcosa di più profondo: la sicurezza, la normalità, la possibilità stessa di raccontare la vita con parole comuni. In giorni come questi, parlare di ambiente, di futuro o di speranza sembra inutile. Il dolore occupa tutto lo spazio. Non lascia margine per il discorso. Questa pausa non è una rinuncia. È il riconoscimento di un peso troppo grande. È il rifiuto di trasformare ferite ancora aperte in contenuti. Per ora, questo spazio resta in silenzio. Non perché manchino le parole, ma perch...

  Venezuela is not about democracy, human rights, or Latin America. It is about energy security and war-risk management . Any analysis that ignores this is either naïve or deliberately misleading. If the United States succeeds in imposing effective control over Venezuela, it gains access to the world’s largest proven oil reserves, precisely the type of heavy crude required to stabilize global markets in the event of a major disruption in the Persian Gulf. In practical terms, this means pre-insuring the energy costs of a future confrontation with Iran . Until now, the primary constraint on escalating conflict with Iran has been the fear of an energy shock: skyrocketing oil prices, market instability, and global economic fallout. Venezuela directly neutralizes that constraint. With Venezuela under control: U.S. dependence on Persian Gulf stability is reduced Supply shocks from potential damage to Iranian or regional energy infrastructure become manageable Military pressure on Iran be...

  Iran’s economic engagement with Venezuela over the past 40 years reads more like a case study in political investment rather than economic return . From oil and gas development to car assembly plants, construction projects, and technological cooperation, Iran has pledged billions of dollars. Yet, most projects remain incomplete, delayed, or lost amidst Venezuela’s political and economic crises. Energy and oil: Investments in the Orinoco oil fields, refinery upgrades, and fuel shipments. Estimated investment: $1.5–2 billion , largely unrealized in economic returns. Industries: Car and tractor assembly, cement plants, and consumer goods factories. Production and profitability have been minimal. Housing and construction: Tens of thousands of residential units promised, most left unfinished. Technology and services: Fiber optics plants and innovation centers mostly symbolic, with limited tangible economic outcomes. Credit lines and direct investment: Total of $2–3 billion , much...

  Iran is entering one of the most alarming environmental periods in its modern history. Severe water shortages, deadly air pollution, land subsidence, wildfires and widespread ecological degradation have pushed the country toward a state of irreversible crisis. This report examines the latest findings from international sources on the worsening state of Iran’s environment. 1. Water Shortages: A Nation Running Dry According to Al Jazeera , major dams supplying Tehran have dropped below 20 percent of their capacity, marking one of the most severe droughts in decades. Source: Scientific American warns that groundwater depletion and mismanagement could render parts of the capital “uninhabitable.” Source: Land subsidence across central Iran is accelerating due to overextraction of aquifers, placing infrastructure, homes and agricultural lands at serious risk. 2. Air Pollution: A Daily Death Toll Newsweek reports that air pollution in Iran is responsible for an estimated 161...

🔹طارق عزیز معاون صدام در خاطراتش نوشت که صدام، شش ماه قبل از حمله، بالاخره فهمید باید کوتاه بیاید؛ اما وقتی هیأت عراقی به آمریکا رسید، کاندولیزا رایس وزیر خارجه وقت امریکا فقط یک جمله گفت: «خوشحالیم عاقل شدید… ولی خیلی دیر.» 🔹۲۰ مارس، ساعت ۱۹، بمب‌ها فرود آمدند. نه به‌خاطر تصمیم صدام؛ به‌خاطر دیر شدن تصمیمش. 🔹این روزها میان تنش تهران و واشنگتن، این روایت یک پیام ساده دارد: گاهی مسئله «عاقل بودن یا نبودن» نیست؛ مسئله این است که آیا هنوز وقت باقی مانده یا نه. 🔹حکومت‌ها معمولاً وقتی دیر می‌فهمند که دیگر کسی آماده شنیدن نیست. تاریخ فقط یک بار هشدار می‌دهد.  شرایط امروز ایران طارق عزیز در خاطراتش روایت می‌کند که شش ماه پیش از حمله ۲۰۰۳، صدام او و تمام مقامات ارشد عراق را بی‌خبر به کاخ ریاست‌جمهوری فراخواند.  صدام، خسته و مردد، اعلام کرد که پس از سال‌ها تنش با غرب، تصمیم گرفته کنار برود، قدرت را به شورای رهبری واگذار کند و کشور را از جنگ نجات دهد.  وزرا و ژنرال‌ها نفس راحتی کشیدند؛ فرصتی برای جلوگیری از ویرانی به‌وجود آمده بود. کارگروهی تشکیل شد، به اروپا و آمریکا رفتند، با...

  امید غیاثوند ماجرای پژمان جمشیدی و خروج وی از کشور، به این گمانه دامن زده که چرخ اقتصاد سینمای ایران در صورت بازنگشتن وی، قادر است بدون او بچرخد و به رونق خود ادامه دهد؟ طی یک دهه اخیر نام پژمان جمشیدی بیش از هر بازیگری شنیده شده است؛ فوتبالیست بازنشسته ای که به یمن انتخاب سروش صحت و توانایی غریزی خود توانست به پولسازترین بازیگر سینما تبدیل شود. نخستین تجربه بازیگری پژمان جمشیدی سال ۱۳۸۹ و با سریال «ساختمان پزشکان» رقم خورد اما سریال «پژمان» سکوی پرش پژمان جمشیدی به سینما بود و با «آتش بس۲»(۱۳۹۲) صعود فواره ای او در سینما آغاز شد. با گذر از حضور پژمان جمشیدی در ۳ تاک شو، ۲۴ سریال تلویزیونی و نمایش خانگی و ۱۷ تئاتر و تعدادی تبلیغات تلویزیونی طی ۱۲ سال گذشته، وی تا کنون در ۴۰ فیلم عمدتا طنز بازی کرده است.  گفته شده پژمان جمشیدی بابت هر فیلم ۴۰۰ میلیون تومان دستمزد دریافت کرده و نیز به تایید منابع خبری مجموع فروش فیلم های طنزی که تا کنون بازی کرده حدود ۸۴۳ میلیارد و ۵۰۰ میلیون تومان است که رقم درستی نیست و می تواند بیش از این باشد. هاشم میرزاخانی مدیرعامل مؤسسه سینماشهر ۱۹ فرور...

  نان، آب، بورسیه… و بچه: تحلیل طنزآمیز از بسته «صدور انقلاب» جمهوری اسلامی در جهان سوم   در دنیایی که شعار «صدور انقلاب» برای جمهوری اسلامی معادل «صدور ایدئولوژی» شده، شگردی نو پدید آمده است: دعوت از کشورهای فقیر، وعده بورسیه، نان، آب، تحصیل در حوزه یا دانشگاهی چون «دانشگاه بین‌المللی طلاب خارجی» و بازگشت یا حضور فعال در کشورهای مبدا. نکته‌ای که اغلب نادیده می‌ماند: «فرزندان» این طرح . در این گزارش قصد داریم با زبان طنز، اما با پشتوانه داده، به این سوال بپردازیم: وقتی «نان هست ولی مسئولیت کمتر نوشته شده»، چه بر سر «بچه‌ها» می‌آید؟ ۱ . بسته صدور انقلاب: چه چیزی در آن است؟ جمهوری اسلامی، پس از انقلاب ۱۳۵۷ ، همواره به‌دنبال گسترش نفوذ در جهان اسلام بوده است. یکی از کانال‌های مهم این کار، شبکه‌ی آموزشی و فرهنگی بین‌المللی است که در آن دانشجویان و طلاب خارجی پذیرفته می‌شوند. در برخی گزارش‌ها آمده است که حدود ۴۰ ٬ ۰۰۰ دانشجوی خارجی در این سازوکار داشته‌اند . در آفریقا، یکی از مناطق هدف این طرح، این سازوکار «هزاران دانشجوی آفریقایی» دارد . هدف؟ «صدور انقلاب اسلامی» در ...

As wars, sanctions, and political fatigue reshape the Middle East, talk of a “New Marshall Plan” and the “Abraham Accords” has returned to the global stage. Beneath the rhetoric of peace and reconstruction, these plans reveal a deeper struggle: the redistribution of power, energy, and influence between the United States, Israel, China, Russia, and the Arab Gulf states — while Iran stands at a precarious crossroads between resistance and reluctant engagement. 📚  The idea of a Marshall Plan for the Middle East emerged in Western think tanks after the war in Ukraine and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Echoing the post–World War II economic recovery of Europe, this plan envisions a massive financial and technological reconstruction — not of ruins, but of political and digital landscapes. For Washington, the new frontier is not military dominance but economic and digital leverage : securing energy corridors, investing in AI infrastructure, and managing influence through regional in...

  در حالی‌که جنگ‌های پیاپی و بحران‌های اقتصادی، خاورمیانه را به صحنه‌ای فرسوده از درگیری و وابستگی بدل کرده، از «طرح مارشال جدید برای خاورمیانه» و «پیمان ابراهیم» به‌عنوان نسخه‌های بازسازی منطقه یاد می‌شود؛ نسخه‌هایی که در ظاهر صلح و توسعه را وعده می‌دهند، اما در عمق خود، نقشه‌ای برای بازتوزیع قدرت، انرژی و نفوذ میان آمریکا، اسرائیل، عربستان، چین و روسیه‌اند . در این میان، جمهوری اسلامی ایران در نقطه‌ای ایستاده که نه می‌خواهد بپذیرد و نه می‌تواند نادیده بگیرد . 📚   واژه «طرح مارشال جدید خاورمیانه» نخستین‌بار پس از جنگ اوکراین و بحران غزه در محافل غربی رواج یافت؛ اشاره‌ای به بازسازی اقتصادی اروپا پس از جنگ جهانی دوم، اما این بار در ابعادی متفاوت: بازسازی ذهنی و ژئوپلیتیکی خاورمیانه . ایالات متحده در پی خروج تدریجی از منطقه، به دنبال جایگزینی حضور نظامی با «نفوذ اقتصادی و دیجیتال» است؛ از انرژی‌های نو و فناوری گرفته تا سرمایه‌گذاری در بنادر، داده و امنیت سایبری . پیمان ابراهیم که از سال ۲۰۲۰ با عادی‌سازی روابط امارات، بحرین، مراکش و سودان با اسرائیل آغاز شد، ا...

 Bread, Scholarships… and Children?  How the Islamic Republic’s Exported-Revolution Package Comes with an Unlisted Clause Tehran’s educational diplomacy—offering free tuition, boarding and scholarships to students from Africa and the developing world—has become a lesser-noticed conduit for ideological export. But another dimension of the scheme is now surfacing: children born to foreign students and clerics, whose legal status and recognition often remain unresolved. The Islamic Republic has long sought “strategic depth” in Africa and the wider global south, building networks of foreign students, clerics and educational institutions. One international religious university affiliated with its institutions claims tens of thousands of foreign enrolments, with many students arriving from less-developed countries. In Africa and elsewhere, the pattern is familiar: offer a scholarship, lodging, perhaps cultural integration—then send someone home or into the field as a “missionary of ...

Progress, but on Our Terms: Washington’s Vision for Iran’s Future When U.S. officials like J.D. Vance and Donald Trump say: “We want Iran to prosper,” what they truly mean is a guided form of progress — one that distances Tehran from Beijing and Moscow , while bringing it closer to the Western economic order . For Washington , an isolated Iran is a dependent Iran — dependent on Chinese oil purchases and Russian military technology . By offering “economic progress,” the U.S. hopes to reverse that dependence, turning Iran from a partner of the East into a manageable actor within a Western-designed framework. In practice, it means: Oil for global markets, not for China . Trade under Western oversight . A region less hospitable to Russian and Chinese influence. Behind the polite diplomacy lies a familiar pattern: “Prosperity” becomes leverage — progress, yes, but only within Washington’s script. 🌍 Journalist | Association of Environmental Journalists Environment...

  Polish FM to Iran: “ Instead of exporting your revolution or enriching uranium, rebuild the Persian civilization that once amazed the world .” That one sentence hit harder than any sanction. Because somewhere between ideology and isolation, Iran stopped enriching its greatest resource — its humanity. Once, this land built poetry, gardens, and philosophy that shaped the world. Now it builds silence, slogans, and self-censorship. The Revolution promised revival; instead, it buried identity under ideology. Mr. Sikorski’s remark wasn’t just diplomacy — it was diagnosis. Iran doesn’t need more uranium. It needs more light. And perhaps, to rediscover the civilization that once defined beauty itself. #Iran #Culture #Civilization #PersianHeritage #Journalistsir 🌍 Journalist | Association of Environmental Journalists Environment is life’s concern... ✴ When there is no bread, no tree will give shade. @journalistsir | @bahrm8 https://journalistsirani.blogspot.com

Iran Livestock Chief Fired After Exposing Rotten Meat Scandal In a case that has sparked outrage among Iranian farmers and the public, Mojtaba Ali, the former head of Iran’s Central Livestock Union, was dismissed by the Minister of Agriculture after revealing that 100,000 kilograms of contaminated meat imported from Mongolia had entered Iran’s supply chain. Ali told Iranian media that the shipment — initially rejected by Iraq due to poor quality and health risks — was redirected to Iran, where it was allegedly intended to be mixed with local meat and sold domestically. “This is playing with people’s lives,” he said. “I had a duty to inform the public. ” He added that the imported meat was overpriced by at least $6,000 per ton, and claimed that both he and his family had been threatened following his disclosure. The Ministry of Agriculture has so far offered no clarification on the origins or handling of the shipment. Critics say the firing of a whistleblower instead of investigating th...

"Talks in the Shadows, Denials in the Light" US envoy hints at dialogue with Iran, while Tehran remains silent In a recent interview with CBS, Brett McGurk’s deputy, Brett Vitkoff, the U.S. envoy for Iran, made a revealing comment: “We are working with Iran. We are talking to them. We hope for a long-term diplomatic solution.” Despite Tehran’s repeated denials, Vitkoff’s statement strongly suggests that communication channels remain open — possibly through mediators like Oman or Qatar. Analysts in Tehran interpret the remarks as part of Washington’s “dual-track diplomacy”: applying economic pressure while nurturing dialogue behind closed doors. Several readings emerge: Internal leverage: The U.S. may be engaging with specific figures within Iran’s power structure, those seen as potentially more pragmatic or influential in shaping future decisions. Psychological signaling: Washington’s message targets both Iran’s leadership and domestic public opinion — a reminder that diploma...

Secret Talks Mediated by Putin: Tehran’s Role in a New Moscow–Washington–Tel Aviv Equation Barak Ravid — a senior Israeli journalist and foreign policy analyst for Axios and Israel’s Channel 13 News — has revealed that secret negotiations have begun between Iran and several U.S.-aligned regional states, mediated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Ravid, these talks are part of the Kremlin’s broader strategy to regain geopolitical leverage in the Middle East amid the ongoing stalemate in Ukraine. Putin is reportedly using his ties with Tehran as a bargaining chip to extract concessions from the West, at a time when Moscow is seeking diplomatic off-ramps from the Ukraine war and a relaxation of sanctions. Sources familiar with the matter say the discussions involve multi-layered security dialogues between Iranian representatives and Russian intermediaries, potentially aimed at easing regional tensions and re-establishing a discreet communication channel with Washington. Ra...

Iran Revives “Modesty Situation Room” Amid Economic Strains Tehran’s provincial branch of the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice Headquarters has announced the establishment of a new “Modesty and Hijab Situation Room,” bringing together cultural and executive agencies. According to Momen-Nasab, a senior official of the organization, over 80,000 trained volunteers will be activated “to create a major transformation in the province.” Analysts describe the move as part of Iran’s cyclical “tighten–relax–tighten” policy in social control — a pattern often reactivated during economic crises or political sensitivity. Rather than a genuine cultural initiative, the program reflects a symbolic assertion of state power and an attempt to redirect public discourse from mounting economic hardship to moral regulation. Such campaigns serve three overlapping objectives: 1. Reassert control over public space and social behavior. 2. Gauge public resistance before larger political events. 3. Diver...

 ✈️ From IranAir Office to a Kebab Shop in Vienna Not long ago, IranAir’s office in Vienna stood as a symbol of national pride. Today, that same office has turned into an “Iranian doner kebab shop” — a bitter irony that could soon repeat itself in Rome if aviation officials in Tehran remain inattentive. The IranAir office in Rome — located on one of the most prestigious and expensive streets in the Italian capital — is worth millions of dollars. Yet its real value lies elsewhere: in the dignity, presence, and identity it represents for Iran in Europe. Even under sanctions, this office must remain open — not for financial profit, but to keep Iran’s flag flying proudly over Rome. Five clear reasons to preserve the Rome office: 1️⃣ Diplomatic Symbol: Iran’s presence in a key European capital. 2️⃣ National Prestige: Continuity and respect for the iconic “Homa” brand. 3️⃣ Commercial Potential: Opportunity to offer ticketing services and cooperate with other airlines. 4️⃣ Strategic Value...
