Nima Rostami Alkhorshid: The U.S. is considering sanctions on Brazil, China, and India to pressure Russia over Ukraine. Senator Lindsey Graham is pushing for 500% tariffs. What’s your take on this strategy? Germany seems tied to Ukraine policy as a way to manage its own internal crises—collapsing economy, energy issues, political division. Is this a sustainable or rational strategy? There are repo...

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid: What is the main objective behind Iran’s approach to negotiations with the United States?
