    Germany’s Security Council defeat: A global referendum on Berlin’s foreign policy

    Reflections on Germany’s first-ever failure to secure a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council

    TEHRAN - On 3 June 2026, one of the most unexpected outcomes in recent United Nations history unfolded. Germany, a country that for decades had regarded itself as a leading contender for a greater role in the world’s premier security body—and an aspiring permanent member of the UN Security Council—failed in its bid for a non-permanent seat. In the General Assembly vote for the 2027–2028 term, Portugal secured 134 votes and Austria 131, winning the two seats allocated to the Western European and Others Group (WEOG). Germany, by contrast, received only 104 votes and was eliminated in the first round. It was the first time in UN history that Germany had failed to win election to the Security Council, bringing an abrupt end to what many in Berlin had long considered a virtually assured outcome.

    Trump's Iran war: A $40 billion catastrophe that hurts Americans most

    TEHRAN- When Donald Trump last week declared victory in his war against Iran, he painted a picture of American triumph. "OIL IS FLOWING, IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON... PRICES ARE DROPPING," he boasted on social media. But a comprehensive CNN analysis of the 100-day conflict reveals a devastating reality that the President's all-caps pronouncements cannot obscure: this was a war that bankrupted American taxpayers, emptied the nation's strategic reserves, and inflicted economic pain on ordinary families—all while killing more than 7,500 civilians in the region.
