Sadegh Zibakalam

A senior Iranian political commentator who has always advocated normal ties with the West says he would take up arms and defend Iran in case of an American invasion.

Sadeq Zibakalam, a professor of political sciences at the University of Tehran, says Iran and the US are unlikely to break the ice in the near or distant future.

Iran’s president says a united nation will finally emerge victorious in the face of problems and pressures.

Several Iranian figures have commented on the possible impact of Donald Trump’s antagonistic approach towards JCPOA, as the controversial US president is preparing to announce his stance on the fate of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Zibakalam said the recent remarks by Ayatollah Jannati about the demise of King Abdullah are in contradiction with the principle of Shiite-Sunni unity.

Sadegh Zibakalam, a prominent professor of political science, weighs in on whether Ahmadinejad will make a political comeback.

The principlist news agency urges two university professors to read a book by an American investigative journalist to find answers to their questions.

Sadegh Zibakalam, a political analyst, says President Rouhani has made good on part of his campaign-trail promises, but he is not to blame for the unfulfilled parts since he is not the only decision maker.

Even in case no deal is cut on November 24 in Vienna between Iran and P5+1, Iran’s nuclear talks will not go back to where it was, says Sadegh Zibakalam, a political analyst.
