What to Watch as Anti-Regime Protests Engulf Iran
The Iranian regime appears to be at its weakest point in its nearly half century in power. For the past two weeks, Iranians throughout the country have taken to the streets in protest over Iran’s deepening economic crises, stirring up memories of the Mahsa Amini protests of 2022-2023 and the Green Movement demonstrations of 2009-2010. This is compounded by a record level of inflation, a potentially existential water crisis, and an open admission from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that his government is incapable of meeting the needs of its own people. Moreover, these protests follow a series of strategic setbacks for the regime, including Israel’s near destruction of Iran’s foreign proxies, the Assad regime’s fall in Syria in December 2024, and the devastation of the twelve-day war in June 2025.

Pirates, Not Sailors: How Hezbollah Navigates Lebanon
Naim Qassem appeared this Sunday in his familiar, grating manner – stern, sermonizing, and entirely predictable. The tone was defiant, the vocabulary recycled, the certainties absolute.

Kremlin Says Iran Has Right to Nuclear Energy, Acting in Line with International Law
Iran has the right to peaceful nuclear energy and is acting in line with international law, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
Peskov said Moscow accepted Iran’s statements that it has no intention of obtaining nuclear weapons.
Iran was one of the topics discussed in a long phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, after which the White House said the two leaders “shared the view that Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel”.
Iran said on Thursday it would consider the opportunities as well as the threats in a letter from Trump that urged it to reach a new nuclear deal, and it would soon respond.
