Hard-line Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who is known as the “Butcher of Tehran,” should be held accountable for his crimes rather than given a platform to spread his propaganda.

When it comes to the Iranian regime, the Biden administration appears to have taken a different path than the US Congress — one that will be inimical to Washington’s national and geopolitical interests in the Middle East.

Iran’s ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi is due to speak at the 77th session of the UN General Assembly next week in spite of the US sanctions against him, which were imposed in 2019.

The Iranian regime’s employment of its newest mode of terrorism — cyberwarfare — is escalating and should not be underestimated by the international community, particularly the Western powers.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been silent for months about a potential new nuclear deal, but his silence does not mean that he has completely delegated the nuclear issue to President Ebrahim Raisi and his team.

The Iranian regime has increasingly been striking overseas with the aim of silencing its opponents and preventing a potential widespread uprising at home.

The path that the Tehran government has taken over the past four decades has caused Iran to be regarded as an unpopular and pariah state domestically, regionally and globally. But the Islamic Republic does have other options and routes to take if it wishes to change.

Making concessions to a rogue state only emboldens it to pursue its destructive behavior and policies. This has been the case with the Iranian regime since it was established four decades ago.
