Iran: 80-year-old Baha’i back in prison for ‘membership in illegal groups aimed at disrupting national security’
It’s an Islamic republic, and so even membership in a non-recognized religious group is a threat to the state. Clearly the Islamic Republic of Iran is extraordinarily insecure. “Iran Returns 80-Year-Old Baha’i Man to Prison After Six-Month Suspension,” Iran Wire, October 3, 2024: Authorities in the Islamic Republic have returned an 80-year-old Baha’i citizen to […]
Should Israel Strike Iran’s Nuclear Sites?
Iran’s nuclear facilities are spread across the country, both above ground and deep underground.

Iran’s Teeter-Tottering Tyranny
Ah, how easy it is for our political and media elites, living safely in the West, to lecture embattled Israel, now engaged in a seven-front war (in Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran), on its need to exercise “self-restraint.” It’s especially grotesque advice when the fons et origo of so much of […]
