Russian representative to the Security Council:

In Pompeo's remarks, at least I did not hear a word of cooperation or dialogue. We are following with concern the developments of the policy of maximum suffocation against Iran. The US goal is to change Iran regime or create a situation where Iran is literally unable to breathe. It's like putting your knee on someone's neck. This crisis has been caused by the United States.

Asia Times: Why Iran won’t be broken

BY:  PEPE ESCOBAR PEJOURNAL - So what’s going on in Iran? How did the Islamic Republic really respond to Covid-19? How is it coping with Washington’s relentless “maximum pressure”? These questions were the subject of a long phone call I placed to Prof. Mohammad Marandi of the University of Tehran – one of Iran’s premier, globally recognized analysts. As Marandi explains, “Iran after the revolution was all about social justice. It set up a very elaborate health care network, similar to Cuba’s, but with more funding. A large hospital network. When the coronavirus hit, the US was even preventing Iran…

DER SPIEGEL: Merkel and Von Der Leyen The Two Women Who Could Transform Europe

PEJOURNAL - Generally speaking, home for Ursula von der Leyen is Brussels. This is where she spent the first 13 years of her life. "For me, the journey to Brussels very much represents the feeling of coming home," she says. More narrowly speaking, Von der Leyen's home is a 25-square-meter (270-square-foot) space in the Brussels headquarters of the European Commission, of which she is the president. Von der Leyen sleeps in a small apartment connected to her office via an unremarkable door next to a sideboard. She sometimes spends the weekend in Burgdorf, near Hanover, where her family lives --…
