David Patrikarakos, UnHerd, May 21, 2024 “Raisi was a senior figure in the regime, but ultimately it was Khamenei who still ruled.” It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving man.

Sheila Nazarian Newsweek, May 20, 2024 “Raisi’s unrelenting hostility towards Israel was a cornerstone of his foreign policy, reflecting the regime’s broader ideological commitment to the eradication of the world’s only Jewish state, with Raisi pledging to “destroy” the Israeli cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv.” In May 19, the president of Iran was killed […]
Shay Khatiri Middle East Forum Observer, May 19, 2024 “Whatever happens next, however, Raisi’s “hard landing” will mark the first chapter in a game of musical chairs that will consume the Islamic Republic for months and will set the stage not only for the post-Raisi-era, but the post-Khamenei one as well.” State media report that […]

Melanie Phillips JNS, May 16, 2024 “Even more astonishingly, Tabatabai runs the office overseeing hostage negotiations. Three weeks after the Oct. 7 pogrom, a reporter asked White House Spokesman John Kirby whether it was appropriate for Tabatabei to be in such a position given the claims made against her.

Josh Rogan Washington Post, May 7, 2024 “When and how did the cyber actor compromise Mr. Malley’s account? Did the compromise of Mr. Malley’s device enable subsequent compromise of other senior officials at the State Department, National Security Council, or other agencies?
