BY: Mohammad Ghaderi PEJOURNAL - A brief look at the past shows that military solutions have not worked.

China’s high-tech developments and US national security concerns

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - When examining serious US national security concerns towards China, it is clear that US concerns about China are not unfounded, and that these concerns have multiple contexts, especially in the high-tech sector.

Saudi Arabia, strategic partner, the United States

Saudi Arabia is never a strategic partner of the United States

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Many years have passed since the Nixon-Kissinger doctrine of dividing responsibilities in the field of foreign policy and giving responsibility to regional powers.

In the meantime, the United States has once again chosen a policy of helping Saudi Arabia dominate the region and lead the Arab world, as well as supporting the kingdom in regional conflicts, after regional…
