The need to change the American paradigm in West Asia

PEJOURNAL - The Quincy think tank said in a report that the current US hegemonic presence in the West Asian region has not only undermined its interests but also reduced its ability to counter threats. Quincy think tank experts report on US macro-foreign policy in West Asia They believe that the US National Security Agenda expires after 9/11. Today, with a variety of soft and semi-severe threats, including cyber-attacks or deadly viruses such as Corona, the increasing presence of heavy troops around the world is no longer justified by cost-effective calculations and does not serve America's vital interests. So it…

Election, Richard Anderson Falk, the United States, US constitutional democracy

Future of US constitutional democracy at risk as never before.

PEJOURNAL - Richard Anderson Falk, who is an American professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University noted: " Future of US constitutional democracy at risk as never before. " “There is no doubt that the internal realities in the US are quite frightening at this stage, and that a contested election might be the spark that sets the country aflame. It is difficult to predict what forms this violence would take, and whether Trump would incite unrest, or at least fan its flames, as part of his challenge to electoral results that voted him out of power,” Here is…

Chomsky, TRUMP

Chomsky: ” Trump is the worst criminal in human history. “

PEJOURNAL - Prominent American academic and intellectual Noam Chomsky has described US President Donald Trump as “the worst criminal in human history.” He made his claim in an article in the New Yorker this week. According to Chomsky, there are several threats facing humanity, including the destruction of democracies. The people around Trump “are essentially creating an international alliance of extremely reactionary states, which can be controlled by the White House.” The evidence, he suggested, is that Trump allies in the Persian Gulf are “dictatorships, the most reactionary states in the world, and Egypt under Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, probably the…

DOJ Seizes 27 Domains, Claims They are Controlled by Iran

PEJOURNAL - The US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Wednesday that it seized 27 online domains, claiming the websites were controlled by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The DOJ seized the domains under the guise of enforcing US sanctions against Iran and the IRGC. Wednesday’s announcement followed the seizure of 92 domains in October that the DOJ also claimed were operated by Iran. The DOJ purports that the domains were being used to spread “Iranian propaganda” and “disinformation.” The DOJ and the FBI work with US tech companies to make these seizures. “Thanks to our ongoing collaboration with…

The conflict between Middle East regional powers is drawing in Morocco and Algeria.

BY: Andrew Hanna PEJOURNAL - Morocco notched a diplomatic win this week as the United Arab Emirates opened a consulate in the Western Sahara, where Rabat has long sought international recognition of its claim over the disputed territory. It also signaled a troubling regional shift. The hostility between Turkey and the Saudi-aligned Arab states risks embroiling the Maghreb region, much as it already complicates conflicts and politics from Libya to the Red Sea region. In North Africa, as across the greater Middle East, a widening of the Turkish-Saudi confrontation is heightening the risks of destabilization and threats to U.S. regional…

The hypocrisy of France

BY: Hanieh Tarkian PEJOURNAL - France tries in every way to encourage the clash between peoples and religions, after having favored a globalized and mondialist society, in which no more space is left for religious and cultural identities, favored the culture of nihilism, encouraged an ultra-laicist vision of society, but on the other hand strengthened the alliance with countries that economically and ideologically finance terrorism in the Middle East, given asylum to individuals linked to terrorist groups and having instead opposed countries such as Syria and Iran that have fought against terrorism. Unfortunately, we can see the proliferation of groups…

Crack in the American Part of the Transatlantic Bridge

BY: Mohammad Ghaderi PEJOURNAL - The United States has had a turbulent history under each of its presidents, but it has been an important part of world and Western history in the context of developments as a political and international figure. In particular, the process of America's rise to power with the decline of Europe during the First and Second World Wars in shifting new roles and positions in the international system shifted "West-centered" to "West-centered" in such a way that Europe became an American project for US interests after World War II. With the US victory in the Cold…

Desires of foreign actors in Afghanistan peace talks

PEJOURNAL - The lack of consensus among foreign actors on the Afghanistan peace talks, along with fundamental differences between the two sides, will pave the way for achieving a balance of actors' interests. Representatives of the Taliban and the Afghan government formally met for the first time since the signing of a US peace agreement with the Taliban in Qatar on September 13, 2010 to begin inter-Afghan peace talks. Although the Taliban and the Kabul government are parties to the talks, other countries in the region and beyond are both influencing the outcome of the talks and the outcome. This…

Turkey-NATO Alliance Under Threat

PEJOURNAL - The Turkish lira has hit a record low against the dollar amid investor anxiety about the Turkish economy, hit by coronavirus and friction with NATO allies. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has riled France and the US among others. Analysts attribute the weakening to concern about Turkish inflation and the central bank's refusal to raise its key interest rate. A rate rise could dampen inflation and encourage investors to buy lira. It was the beheading of a school teacher in Paris that sparked the latest war of words. Samuel Paty was murdered by a Chechen extremist, having shown a…
