Rethinking Iran’s Political System Beyond Western Tropes
Western portrayals of Iran often reduce its political system to authoritarian theocracy. In reality, Iran combines elected institutions with powerful unelected religious authorities, forming a hybrid model of governance.

Women and girls bear the brunt of war crimes, not merely as collateral damage but as intentional targets in conflict zones.

For Morocco, this development presents both opportunities for collaboration and challenges regarding technological sovereignty and dependence on foreign technologies. It is crucial for Morocco to evaluate its national AI strategy to take advantage of the opportunities offered while strengthening its internal capabilities.
