IRANIAN RESILIENCE
Back in 2023 I had the honor of meeting with former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi while he was in New York for the General Assembly debate. He provided me and the others in attendance with a very frank and detailed assessment of the situation in Iran following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in police custody in 2022. He described the massive internal unrest that followed as the greatest threat to the Islamic government of Iran since the revolution. He stated that foreign intelligence services had taken advantage of societal fractures and were seeking to break Iran apart. He stated that Iran had been able to defeat these outside forces, and was a stronger nation because of it.
Raisi died in a helicopter crash in May 2024. He was replaced by the current President, Masoud Pezeshkian. In September 2025 I was again invited to a meeting with President Pezeshkian in New York. He stated that Raisi’s death had led to a division in the Iranian government about policy on how to deal with the West. He said that foreign intelligence services, led by Israel and the US, sought to exploit these divisions, and that the decapitation attack carried out by Israel with the assistance of the United States in June 2025 was designed to collapse the Iranian government and create an opportunity for anti-government forces to take control. Pezeshkian noted that these efforts failed, and that Iran emerged from the 12 Day War with Israel and the United States more united than ever.
The effort to topple the Iranian government was a major Israeli/United States objective. Both Israel and the United States have pulled out all the stops to create the current unrest in Iran. But the Iranian victory against the foreign-led opposition in 2023, combined with the unification of political purpose which emerged after the June 2025 war, has made Iran extremely resilient against outside efforts to overthrow the Islamic government.
The Iranian government is on the verge of fundamentally defeating the foreign supported opposition in Iran today. This has Israel in a panic, because they have burned the totality of their resources in Iran in support of the current unrest. The United States as well is concerned that an Iranian government victory today will make it impossible to change the regime in Tehran. There is a real danger that the United States and Israel may launch attacks on Iran in the near future designed to weaken and discredit the Iranian government while providing military cover for the opposition forces carrying out acts of violence in Iran today.
It is highly unlikely that these attacks will succeed in their own right. They will, however, trigger an Iranian response that will disrupt oil production in the Middle East for a significant period of time.
This appears to be the goal of the Trump administration, and explains in large part the timing of the United States attack on Venezuela, which sought to secure Venezuelan oil in anticipation of a new energy crisis triggered by a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran.
The world is looking at a deliberate attack on global energy security as a means of bringing down Iran, weakening Russia, and destabilizing BRICS.

LOSING THE REPUBLIC
On September 17, 1787, Benjamin Franklin addressed the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, convened to transform the failed confederacy that had emerged from the Revolution that freed the Colonies from British tyranny.
“I agree to this Constitution, with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no form of government, but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered; and believe further, that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government.”
The next day, with the Constitution well in its way toward ratification, Franklin returned to the home of Samuel Powel, where he had been hosted during the convention. Samuel’s wife, Elizabeth, asked Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic? Or a monarchy?”
Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

DE-BANKED
Today my banking institution of 26 years, Citizens Bank, declared that they were ending their banking relationship with me. My accounts were zeroed out without explanation. While I may eventually see this money returned to me, the question of why this occurred remains unanswered, raising a whole host of issues related to civil liberties.
I’ve been de-banked.

BACK TO THE FUTURE
Maybe the only way to reset US-Russian relations is to go back to the Cold War and start all over again.
The yin and the yang of Trump’s on again, off again bromance with Russian President Vladimir Putin has created confusion in the ranks of Trump watchers for some time now.
But the reality is even Trump doesn’t know what he wants with Russia, because his statements aren’t derived from any personal commitment to either Russia or its leader regarding the betterment of relations, but rather are symptomatic of a man (Trump) who has a history of saying anything, not matter how far-fetched, unrealistic and fact challenged, in order to get what he (Trump) wants.

REFLECTIONS ON A WAR
Thirty-five years ago, the world woke up to find the United States at war with Iraq. It was a war that set in motion changes that still reverberate globally to this day.
The Cold War that had dominated the globe since the end of the Second World War was winding down, and the international community was on the cusp of major geopolitical changes that could and would reshape the world order. The United States, which was emerging from the detritus of the Cold War as the world’s sole remaining superpower, found itself at a crossroads of history.

THE PERSECUTION OF SCOTT RITTER: FREEDOM’S CLOSED FIST
By Christopher Maffei
The Anatomy of a Silencing
The case of Scott Ritter is not a story of a flawed man facing justice. It is the deliberate, systematic destruction of a witness by a state terrified of his testimony. It reveals an American power structure that, when confronted with a truth that threatens its violent ambitions, will not debate, refute, or concede. It will annihilate the truth-teller.
