There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

Many of the deaths have been concentrated in Cali, Colombia’s third most populous city.

Impressive to talk about the conflicts in Syria without mentioning the main driving force behind it, which is Islam, and the inherent mandatory call within Islam to practise violence as an answer. Muslim takes personal offenses and injustices to their person as an offence to God. Therefor in the way muslims react seldomly becomes proportional and balanced, and this is one reason why this part of the world almost always feel out of sync with the rest of the world.

Well, well, what the hell is the fault of the Syrians, that they have to endure the global power struggle on their own land. Wrestle in your own land. Leave our land alone, is it our fault to demand freedom, and when we leave our country we are accused of being cowards and backwards, so go to Hell

The extremists and the jihadists are funded by US. They are being manipulated for US interests in the oil region. And for israel they are making the way for their messiah to come. In their corrupt holy book, their messiah will decend from damascus in Syria. They cannot let christian orthodox Russians and islam iran to lead Syria. But iran is a syiah secte who is actually arrogant of their Persian civilization. They don't really respect Muhammad as the prophet chosen by Allah from the Arab race. Iran wants to be the leader in the islam world with their own islam version. The truth will come soon.
