Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Jan. 10, 2024 “It’s a colourful story, for sure. If the Atlantic publishes a longform piece on the doctrinal clashes in this curious community, I’ll probably read it.

David McCormick WSJ, Jan. 7, 2024 “Iran gets away with it because American politicians cave.” You could hear the demented joy through the phone.

Naftali Bennett WSJ, Dec. 28, 2023 “There are many ways to weaken Iran: empower domestic opposition, ensure internet continuity during riots against the regime, strengthen its enemies, increase sanctions and economic pressures.
