Nov 19, 2025 - Iran is willing to resume nuclear talks with the United States if they are conducted respectfully, a senior Iranian official told CNN on Tuesday, while insisting Tehran will not move from the position it held before the US and Israel attacked it in June.
 

“They have to make the first move to show that they are ready to engage with us on the conditions that we put… it has to be based on equal footing and mutual respect,” said Kamal Kharrazi, foreign policy adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in an exclusive interview with CNN from Tehran.

Nov 18, 2025 - Iran is experiencing a drought so intense that the country’s president has said the capital city, Tehran, might have to be evacuated.

In an attempt to bring rain, aircraft began a cloud-seeding operation on 15 November that is planned to last through the traditional rainy season until May.

But experts caution that this technique is challenging and unlikely on its own to make a major dent in the water crisis.

Rainfall across Iran is 85 per cent below average, and Tehran has received only 1 millimetre of rain this year

Nov 17, 2025 - Rainfall caused floods in parts of western Iran on Monday, after months of drought led to the worst water crisis in decades and pushed authorities to begin cloud seeding over the weekend.

 

The country's meteorological organisation issued a warning for flooding in six western provinces for Monday and said it expected rain in 18 out of Iran's 31 provinces.

Rainfall levels across Iran are 85% below average, depleting reservoirs and causing taps to run dry including in parts of the capital, Tehran.

Nov 16, 2025 - Iran’s foreign minister on Sunday said that Tehran is no longer enriching uranium at any site in the country. 

Answering a question from an Associated Press journalist visiting Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered the most direct response yet from the Iranian government regarding its nuclear program following Israel and the United States’ bombing its enrichment sites in June. “There is no undeclared nuclear enrichment in Iran. All of our facilities are under the safeguards and monitoring” of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Araghchi said.

Nov 15, 2025 - Iran confirmed on Saturday that it had seized a fuel tanker that was headed for Singapore through the Strait of Hormuz the day before, according to Iranian state media. The country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy said in a statement to state media that it had boarded the ship on Friday as part of an operation to “protect the national interests and resources of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” The ship was seized because it was found to be “carrying unauthorized cargo,” the navy said.

Iran has periodically seized tankers transiting through the Persian Gulf, but it appeared to have been more than a year since a ship was last reported seized in the Strait of Hormuz,

Nov 14, 2025 - That’s what locals call the vast exhibition space that reopened this week on the outskirts of the Iranian capital, Tehran. But make no mistake, the facility is a live demonstration of the Islamic Republic’s resolve to project growing strength after a chastening year of attacks by Israel and the United States.

The National Aerospace Park, as it’s more formally known, allows citizens a close-up look at the hardware that the country’s most powerful military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, takes most pride in: missiles and drones.

Water crisis in Iran

Nov 13, 2025 - Iran is facing its worst water crisis in decades, driven by unprecedented drought, decades of mismanaged resources, and aging infrastructure that leaks much of the supply before it reaches residents. 
In Tehran, authorities warn that rolling water restrictions could escalate to a full evacuation if conditions do not improve, increasing the political pressure on the government and fueling public anger. 
An elderly woman from north Tehran, who wished to remain anonymous, told Newsweek, “They are telling us to move from the city, but the whole country is suffering drought, so what's the point?”

3 Persian artists

There just aren’t that many Iranian women in the art world,” says Shirin Neshat, the 66-year-old artist whose work in photography and film over the past 30 years has attracted acclaim and controversy in equal measure.

Talking with her friends, art adviser Nazy Nazhand and artist Sheree Hovsepian, she adds: “I think that the connection between the three of us is that we feel kind of rare in this community. We each play a role.”

All three women were born in Iran, but moved to the US in the 1970s and ’80s. In 1979, following the Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini established the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Every Iranian woman is a threat,” says Shirin Neshat, “just by being a woman.” The artist is wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Woman, Life, Freedom”
– the slogan of the protest movement that erupted a year ago in Iran, following the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who allegedly flouted her country’s strict dress code.

Since 1981, veiling in public has been mandatory for every Iranian female over the age of nine, a law enforced by the “morality” police. Neshat, speaking via Zoom, turns the lens to show me the large, airy warehouse she works in. The artist, now 66, has lived in Brooklyn since the 1990s – longer than she lived in Iran.

Top 26 Iranian Films

Historically, poetry was Iran’s most prominent cultural export. Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, however, movies have carried the country’s artistic banner through the threat of censorship and the regime’s crackdown on filmmakers.

 

Iranian movies are unlike anything Hollywood produces: Many break the fourth wall in their attempts to shed light on the injustices of modern Iranian society because, in a country where you can expect to be arrested multiple times during your film’s production, movies are not simply artistic expression but rather an agent in a filmmaker’s life. Yet despite this (or rather because of it), many Iranian movies are difficult to view in the West.

فروغ فرخزاد به عقیده‌ خیلی‌ها به عنوان زنی تنها در آستانه‌ی فصلی سرد، سال‌ها از زمان خودش جلوتر بود.کسی که ایمان آورده بود به آغاز فصلی سرد ولی باز هم عقیده داشت بالاخره به آفتاب سلامی دوباره خواهیم کرد. فروغ را باید در شعرهایش دید وقتی برای نخستین بار یادمان آورد که “پرواز را به خاطر بسپار، پرنده مردنیست” و چه کسی است که نداند نجات دهنده در گور خفته است؟! فروغ فرخزاد زن‌ترین زن شاعر تمام‌ دوران‌هاست! او همواره به دنبال شکستن تابوها، زیر ذره‌بین انتقاد و قضاوت بی‌رحمانه‌ی مردمان نامهربان روزگار خویش بود. فروغ را بخوانید تا روح زنانه‌ی زندگی را لمس‌ کنید تا بفهمید چه ظلم‌ها که در این منطقه‌ی جغرافیایی بر تن زنانگی نرفته است. فروغ شاید بارزترین نماد انقلاب زنانه‌ای باشد که سال‌هاست در قلب تمام زنان خاورمیانه‌ی غمگین شروع شده است. باشد که این خانه دیگر سیاه نباشد و باشد که آنکس که ما را می‌بوسد دیگر در ذهن خود طناب دار ما را نبافد چرا که گیسوان ما بوی عدالت، آزادی و آزادگی می‌دهند. انقلاب زن، زندگی، آزادی و ۸ دیماه زادروز تولد فروغ فرخزاد مبارک!❤️🕊️🌹

Sanaz Toossi on her Pulitzer

May 9, 2023 - Sanaz Toossi had just cleared security at the San Francisco airport when her cellphone rang at midday Monday. It was her agent, telling the 31-year-old playwright she had won the Pulitzer Prize in drama for “English,” her first produced play.

Toossi, who had written the play as a graduate school thesis project at New York University, was in disbelief. “I asked, ‘Are you sure?’ And when she said, ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘Could you please just double-check?’”

The prize was real, and as Toossi boarded the plane home to Los Angeles, her phone began buzzing with congratulatory messages not only from around the United States, but also from Iran, where her parents were born and where the play is set.

April 8, 2023 - It was incredibly risky to film or photograph the anti-government protests that swept Iran after the September death of Mahsa Amini. In the privacy of their homes and studios, however, some Iranian artists began to take inspiration from the scenes on the streets. Their work reflects the hope, turmoil and tragedy of the popular uprising and the violent crackdown that followed.

After months of rising repression, the demonstrations have died down in recent weeks. But the protest movement, and its slogan of “Women, life, freedom,” has changed the country after more than four decades of authoritarian clerical rule, prompting young Iranians to dream of a different future for their country — and to render it on canvas.

Nazy Nazhand was born in Tehran in the 1980s in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. But she remembers the curfews, alarms, bombs and missiles of the Iran-Iraq war. She remembers feeling skeptical that taking cover in parts of the home she shared with her parents and her siblings would keep her safe. In 1985 her family arrived in Athens as refugees. In 1987 they immigrated to Alexandria, Virginia.

 

“It seems like somebody else’s past, to be honest,” she said, speaking in a Zoom interview from New York City, where she has lived for almost two decades. “But all the trauma comes back.”

In May 2023, Dr. Naderi experienced a life-altering event that resulted in paralysis from the neck down. He sustained a fall in conjunction with a cardiac episode. As a consequence, he suffered an extensive neck injury that involved damage to the spinal cord. The ensuing paralysis required surgical intervention, and some level of recovery was anticipated within a four to five month period. However, his twitter and Instagram accounts announced his unfortunate passing due to this incident on June 9, 2023.
