Iran is using nuclear negotiations with the United States as a strategic tool to advance its own interests while simultaneously affirming open hostility toward America and Israel, according to former Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi, who insists that chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” will continue. In an interview on Al-Rabiaa TV last week, Mousavi — a close associate of Iran’s hardline regime and former cultural attaché in Algeria — made a series of explosive remarks reflecting the Islamic Republic’s entrenched animus toward the West.  The broadcast, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), sheds light…

The country’s UN envoy has rolled out a basketful of demands to Berlin, including €550 billion and a third of Germany’s weapons Most people keep their Easter expectations pretty modest: some pastel candy, a chocolate bunny, maybe even one that doesn’t taste like it was made during the Cold War.But Ukraine’s former ambassador to Germany, Andrey Melnik, has decided that this is the perfect time to send the Easter Bunny – also known, apparently, as incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz – a list that reads less like holiday funsies and more like a NATO procurement form.“I am a realist and…

Crybaby and documented serial liar Bill Owens announced his resignation Tuesday as executive producer of the disgraced far-left 60 Minutes. I voted for this. Owens announced his exit in a memo to the disgraced, far-left 60 Minutes staff where he whined over how he “would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it” or make “independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes.” Maybe it’s just me, but maybe the guy responsible for damaging the 60 Minutes brand more than any human being not named Dan Rather could use a little oversight.
