The Iran War: Between the Costs of Peace and War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The confrontation between Washington and Tehran is entering its seventh month without victory or resolution. This outcome does not necessarily mean that either side is incapable of winning. Rather, it means that each has found that prolonging the war costs less than ending it. Wars are not measured by their stated objectives, but by the calculations of those who control them. Here, conflicting calculations converge on a single outcome: remaining in a gray zone between war and peace. The Iranian
Iran and the Duality of Political Memory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a memory that forgets nothing, and another that recalls only what it desires, and between the two arises one of the most pervasive phenomena in politics and one of the least willing to acknowledge itself: the duality of memory. In public life, forgetting is not always a defect of memory, nor is remembering evidence of an alert consciousness. A person may remember an event because it supports his account, and forget it because it threatens that account. At this point memory ceases to be
Iran… and the Strategy of Stalling and Scattering the Fronts (opens the original)

Kurdistan: The Region That Survived Three Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 25, 2017, nearly 92 percent of voters in the Kurdistan Region cast their ballots in favor of independence, in a referendum conducted with remarkable order under the watch of international observers. However, the outcome collided head-on with the dual walls of geography and politics. International flights were halted, severe economic restrictions were imposed, and Kirkuk was stripped from regional administration. The region found itself bearing the sole cost of a question that was le
When Theft Becomes a Culture (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most dangerous societies are not those in which there are many thieves. Crime has been part of human life since the dawn of history, and no civilization or state has ever been free of it. The real danger begins when society’s view of theft itself changes and it is no longer seen as a disgraceful act that brings shame, with theft, but gradually becoming justified or even admired behavior when it brings wealth and influence. At that point, theft becomes part of the social fabric and reproduces
