What Archaeology Can Achieve in US-Iran Relations In the 1920s, relations between the United States and Iran had reached a low point. According to historian James F. Goode, the American charge d'affairs at the time, Hugh Millard, wrote to the US State Department's Near East Bureau Chief, Wallace Murray, stating that there had been "one flub after another in American efforts in Persia" but that '"archaeology is about the only thing are likely to be interested in which stands much chance of bringing results." -Kyle G. Olson, Bourse & Bazaar 11/25/20 How a feminist framework can guide US, European Iran policy The election of the nation's first female vice president marks a political watershed in Washington, DC. And while President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have promised a different kind of foreign policy, the real question about "building back better" is - how exactly, and for whom? Who benefits? Whose interests will be taken into account? Whose voices will not be heard? Such are the questions that a feminist approach would ask of every policy. -Cornelius Adebahr and Barbara Mittelhammer, Responsible Statecraft11/25/20
Iranian president upbeat about relations with Biden-led US Iran's president, Hassan Rouhani, said on Wednesday it would be easy to solve the country's problems with the US so long as Joe Biden stuck to the commitments he made on the campaign trail.

At the outbreak of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, a group of Washington hawks from neoconservative think tanks like Hudson Institute and Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) urged the United States to support Azerbaijan. They pushed the narrative that Armenia was an ally of Iran, while Azerbaijan an ally of Israel. Azerbaijani victory, thus, would be a gain for Israel. The fate of Nagorno-Karabakh, however, is not what interests these neoconservatives.

There will certainly be voices both inside and outside government advocating for a hawkish U.S. military posture in the South China Sea and the Persian Gulf. With U.S.-China relations at their lowest ebb in a generation and U.S.-Iran tensions dangerously close to a boiling point, a new strategy is needed. Reducing the risk of a U.S.-China cold war or a military conflict with Iran requires not just repudiating Trump's jingoistic transactionalism, but also breaking from decades of pre-Trump militarism, rooted in white supremacy and imperialism, under the guise of American exceptionalism. -Perry Cammack, Responsible Statecraft 11/23/20 The Unprecedented US Presidential Election and its Consequences American democracy has survived a dangerous virus, and it has even come off the ventilator, but whether it will be restored to full health or will suffer for a long time (like a long Covid) from the negative effects of the virus of personality cult, chauvinism, populism, racism, militarism and, yes let's say it, fascism, remains to be seen. -Farhang Jahanpour, IPS 11/23/20 Iranian teacher spends $290,000 inheritance on educating deprivedstudents

Fears of foreign policy chaos in Trump's final days fueled by Iranbombing report
Fears that Donald Trump might try to wreak havoc on the world stage in his final, desperate, weeks in office appear to have been well-founded, after he reportedly asked for options on bombing Iran.

Trump's Requested Strike on Iran Could Kill More People Than AtomicBombing of Nagasaki
First, it should be noted that Iran is not engaged in illegal activity. Its right to enrich uranium for civilian electricity production was acknowledged by the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or nuclear deal signed with all the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany. Iran has only departed from that agreement in very minor ways, and mainly as a way of putting pressure on Europe to defy the US severe economic sanctions, which contravene the treaty. It is Trump's Washington that has behaved illegally, not Iran. -Juan Cole, Common Dreams 11/17/20 Why Biden shouldn't fall for the 'sanctions wall' trap on Iran Faced with a countdown on its tenure in office, the Trump administration is accelerating efforts to bar President-elect Biden from returning to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - the nuclear accord between the United States, other major world powers, and Iran - and to cement the U.S.-Iran relationship into one of perpetual conflict. - and more. -Tyler Cullis, Responsible Statecraft 11/17/20 Iran warns of 'crushing response' if Trump targets nuclear site Iran has warned of a strong response if Donald Trump goes ahead with plans to use the twilight of his presidency to mount a strike on Iran or its allies in the region.

But they aren't working. On a good day, Washington, D.C. is best described as a town divided. Republicans and Democrats are at each other's throats on nearly every issue under the sun. A subject as seemingly uncontroversial as wearing a mask can open the floodgates to a torrential flood of partisan fury on both sides of the political aisle. The culture wars, policy disagreements, and ideological clashes are elevated to the umpteenth degree during a presidential election year. But on the subject of economic sanctions, Republicans and Democrats mirror one, big, happy family. -Dan DePetris, Responsible Statecraft 10/23/20 New report shines light on dis- misinformation campaigns by US Gulfallies

It's not a particularly long or complicated form, but this year was different. I pass as white and have always marked white. This year, I checked "Other," wrote in "Iranian," and made my parents do the same. As the Trump administration fights to end the 2020 U.S. Census count and limit those who can be counted, organizations like the National Iranian American Council and Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans have encouraged Iranian Americans to mark "Other" on their forms and write in "Iranian," building off a similar 2010 campaign, "Check it right; you ain't white!" -Sarah Sakha, ResponsibleStatecraft 10/5/20
