TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARAP via SFGate:
The U.S. and Iran said Sunday they will hold upcoming talks in Baghdad about improving Iraq’s security — a historic political turnabout for the two countries with the most influence over Iraq’s future.
Expectations of progress remain low, however, with tough issues at stake and mutual suspicions running high. Even as it announced the talks, Iran lashed out at Vice President Dick Cheney’s weekend warnings about its nuclear program, saying it would retaliate if the U.S. attacked it.
Yet the two sides said they were setting aside such differences to focus on a narrow issue — Iraq’s continued violence and sharp political deterioration.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
