A lesson from Iranian Revolution

BY: Quayyum Raja PEJOURNAL - If I have to answer in one sentence what the people of Iran have learnt from 42 years old Islamic Revelation, I would say: self-confidence, self-respect, self-reliance and self-satisfaction.

America launched a campaign to impose economic sanctions on Iran with severest…

Biden’s reckless Syria bombing is not the diplomacy he promised

BY: Medea Benjamin* and Nicolas J. S. Davies* PEJOURNAL - The February 25 U.S. bombing of Syria immediately puts the policies of the newly-formed Biden administration into sharp relief. Why is this administration bombing the sovereign nation of Syria? Why is it bombing "Iranian-backed militias" who pose absolutely no threat to the United States and are actually involved in fighting ISIS? If this is about getting more leverage vis-à-vis Iran, why hasn’t the Biden administration just done what it said it would do: rejoin the Iran nuclear deal and de-escalate the Middle East conflicts? According to the Pentagon, the US…
