The Assassination ISIS Didn’t Need to Commit ISIS played no role in the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader. However, the group is systematically converting it into a recruitment script, a mobilization call, and a strategic windfall.

Steel First, Talks Later: The Uncertain Future of U.S.-Iran Nuclear Talks - Stratheia U.S.-Iran talks in Oman unfold amid sanctions, military pressure, and deep mistrust over nuclear enrichment, missiles, and regional power.
