Well, it has started.  Iran hasn’t learned from the 12 Day War, and hasn’t understood that its intransigence to turn from nuclear weapons and to stop threatening others and to hope that Russia would save it, don’t work.  In short, the theme of this blog continues.  Until the Islamic Republic of Iran will stop striving to be a Revoluationary State and to aim to be a Normal State, the reaction of other countries will continue.  See “European nations start process to impose a ‘snapback’ of Iran nuclear sanctions at UN,” PBS, 8-28-25.

“Iranian cleanup of nuclear site likely to erase proof of atomic work — report,” Times of Israel, 8-28-25.

He’s back!  An appearance by former UN Ambassador and FM Mohammad Javad Zarif.  We’ve missed him.  I believe he is a cousin to Seyed Mousavian, the former Princeton professor who retired in embarrassment.  See “Tehran’s Message to Trump: ‘Stop Listening to Bibi’,” Foreign Policy, 8-28-25.  FP should respond, “Stop listening to Ali Khamenei” and see what Zarif says.

Note the pattern, here again.  Deny, but never discuss evidence.  “Expelled ambassador says allegations against Iran ‘baseless’ during Sydney airport exit,” Guardian, 8-28-25.

There is no due process in Iran.  “Concern after Iran couple ‘whisked into court’,” BBC, 8-28-25.
