For decades, Iranian leaders grew accustomed to Western caution, diplomatic hedging, and carefully measured statements designed to avoid escalation. They learned that repression at home would provoke criticism but rarely consequences. They learned that terrorism abroad would be condemned but tolerated. They learned that nuclear deception would lead to negotiations, not punishment.
Depuis la nuit des temps, l’histoire de l’humanité est tissée de secrets, de prophéties et de pactes voilés qui semblent défier toute compréhension. Cette fascination pour l’occulte n’est pas un phénomène récent : sociétés initiatiques, codes cryptés et récits de pouvoirs occultes ont accompagné l’évolution des civilisations, alimentant à la fois la curiosité intellectuelle et la peur collective de ce qui échappe au contrôle public. C’est précisément à ce carrefour que nous nous sommes récemment plongés dans la série « La dynastie qui a changé le monde ». Cette série a démontré que les théories du complot ne sont pas des mythes, mais se nourrissent d’éléments réels qui prennent une ampleur inattendue. Et le sujet qui nous réunit aujourd’hui en est peut-être un autre exemple.
The Middle East, a region of profound historical depth and strategic significance, remains a geopolitical tinderbox characterized by intricate alliances, entrenched rivalries, and unresolved conflicts. While active hostilities are often contained within certain thresholds, a complex web of latent parameters exists beneath the surface. These factors possess the inherent potential to override existing controls, triggering a rapid and uncontrollable regional escalation with severe humanitarian, economic, and strategic consequences. This analysis seeks to identify these parameters from a neutral, analytical standpoint, focusing on the mechanisms that could transform a contained conflict into a widespread conflagration.

The U.S. military is preparing for the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack, two U.S. officials told Reuters, in what could become a far more serious conflict than previously seen between the countries.
The disclosure by the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the planning, raises the stakes for the diplomacy underway between the United States and Iran.
Khamenei’s renewed defiance is inspired by four conclusions he has drawn from the latest events…. the “Supreme Guide” seems determined to work with a more compact group of no-questions-asked loyalists on a platform of revolutionary defiance moderated by cosmetic gestures he calls “heroic flexibility”.
As commendable as it may be that US President Donald J. Trump is apparently hoping that he can turn “swords into ploughshares,” the inclusion of avowedly pro-Islamist, pro-terrorist countries such as Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan in his so-called “Board of Peace” has all the potential thoroughly to undermine the American leader’s peace initiative in Gaza.
The file of northeastern Syria, defined by negotiations and clashes between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), is nearing a decisive stage, following a military operation that led to broad control by the Syrian army, backed by Arab tribes, across eastern Syria.
Damascus witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Chevron and the Qatar-based company Power International Holding on February 4.
