Iran and Russia Cooperation in the Construction of Rasht-Astara:

Iran and Russia Cooperation in the Construction of Rasht-Astara:

The Only Remaining Railway of the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC)

The 164 km Rasht-Astara railway route in Iran’s Gilan Province is of great importance in the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC), because it is the only remaining rail part of this corridor, writes Valdai Club expert Vali Kaleji. In his article, Dr. Vali Kaleji, a Tehran-based expert on Central Asia and Caucasian Studies, postulates that after the First Karabakh War, Iran’s railway connection with the Caucasus was cut and this unfortunate situation has not changed in three decades. Among the proposed bilateral or multilateral rail projects to overcome the rail and transit gap, the 164 km Rasht-Astara railway route in Gilan Province of Iran is of great importance in the...

Why the United States Seeks to Prolong the Conflict in Ukraine

Why the United States Seeks to Prolong the Conflict in Ukraine

It is impossible not to see that the prolongation of the military crisis in Ukraine is fully in line with American military-political interests. Narratives created with the help of Western media that Russia is close to defeat, albeit far from reality, nonetheless form the impression the West needs, forcing many countries, even those that are neutral towards Russia, to take a wait-and-see attitude, writes Valdai Club Programme Director Andrey Sushentsov. Despite the growing number of casualties and the destruction of the military structure in Ukraine, the excitement for warfare on the part of NATO member states has not faded...

The Dismal Track Record of U.S. Military Interventions

American soldiers have been deployed abroad almost continuously since the end of World War II. The best-known foreign interventions—in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq—were large, long, and costly. But there have been dozens of other such deployments, many smaller or shorter, for purposes ranging from deterrence to training. Taken as a whole, these operations have had a decidedly mixed record. Some, such as Operation Desert Storm in 1991, which swept the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s forces out of Kuwait, largely succeeded. But others—such as those in Somalia, Haiti, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and elsewhere—were disappointments or outright failures. It is these unsuccessful...

The President of the French Football Federation was Right!

The President of the French Football Federation was Right!

Over the recent weeks, the disparaging remarks of the President of the French Football Federation, Noël Le Graët, against the former legendary player and current coach of the French football team, Zinedine Zidane aka Zizou, and his apology made headlines in many newspapers in France and around the globe. The palaver, which took the President of the French Football Federation to the point of resignation, displayed unfathomable social rifts in France which were swiftly divulged by an 80-year-old man momentarily and then lost in the brouhaha of state propaganda claiming to serve immigrants and their posterity.   French social media showed a strong negative reaction to the remarks made by Le...

The longest Night of a year, Dongji in Korea

Origin of Dongji in Korea It is the day with the longest night and the shortest day of the year, like Shabe-Yalda in Iran, falling in November on the lunar calendar and around December 22 on the solar calendar. Beginning with summer, the nights begin to shorten and the nights begin to lengthen, reaching their climax on the day of the Dongji, and from the next day, the nights begin to shorten and the days begin to lengthen.

The relationship between Persia and Korea in history through Kushname.

It has been 60 years since Korea and Iran started to exchange on October 23, 1962. Korea and Iran started exchanges about 1,500 years ago, and this is mentioned in 'Kushname', an ancient Persian epic poem, that can estimate exchanges between Silla and Persia of the Sasanian dynasty in the 7th century.   Today, the difficulties between Korea and Iran have worsened due to the US economic sanctions, but hopefully to find relief and relationship again, the following is the story of the first start of a relationship between Korea and Iran in history incited in Kushname.     Due to the Arab invasion in the middle of the 7th century, Persia's Prince ‘Abtin’ exiled...

The elites warn of security and geopolitical risks in new developments in the Caucasus

The developments and disputes over the past two years in the Caucasus culminated in the return of territories claimed by the Republic of Azerbaijan to this country from Armenia. But it seems that the recent activities in 2022 by Azerbaijan in Syunik Province have new objectives entailing new geopolitical developments.   The IR of Iran is an active regional actor which is also affected by any developments in the area and pursues its particular policies and approaches based on the Supreme Leader's position on the northwestern borders of the Caucasus not changing.   The policies of the IR of Iran on developments in the Caucasus have drawn a range of criticisms and reactions from the people,...

EMBER IN UKRAINE

EMBER IN UKRAINE

The deployment of Russian troops and military equipment on a large scale to the Ukrainian border, geopolitically, cannot be underestimated. The crisis that occurs, especially if it erupts into a war, is not only a matter between the two countries, because it must have serious implications and have wide ramifications. What is feared is that uncontrolled developments will have implications for international security, including in the Southeast Asian region. After the Cold War ended in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union (US), the map of Eastern Europe has changed significantly. The position of ex-US countries and their satellites (Ukraine and Belarus) is very strategic for both Russia and the US and the...

Most Iranians consider the Israeli regime to be a threat whose possible adventurism must be seriously dealt with

Historical facts show that the Zionists are present and pervasive at the heart of the American decision-making nucleus and have systematically deceived the Americans and sacrificed their interests for Zionist interests. This is the reason why America's geopolitical weight and prestige over its rivals in the region is declining every day. Doubtless, this will be a wakeup call for the American people and elite one day.   The conflict of the Israeli regime with the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) is an indisputable issue. It has carried out many direct and indirect acts of terrorism and sabotage against the country, some of the more significant of which are: 1) Pressurizing the US to withdraw from the...

A Cooperative Mechanism for Pak-Iran Ties

A Cooperative Mechanism for Pak-Iran Ties

 HISTORICALLY, Pakistan and Iran share geographical contiguity, religious affinity, culture similarities and civilizational closeness. For centuries, the area now constituting Pakistan remained the hub of the Indo-Persian civilization that produced remarkable works of art, poetry, literature and great intellect.

Traditionally Pakistani frontiers with Iran have always been peaceful, safe and secure. Iran was the first country which recognized Pakistan upon its emergence as an independent country in 1947. Indeed, there have been historical...
