In a world where power and politics intertwine, an American presidential candidate emerges as a beacon of hope, promising change and progress. But behind the scenes, a deadly conspiracy brews, spanning continents and involving some of the most powerful nations on Earth. As the candidate’s popularity surges, a coalition of enemies grows increasingly desperate to prevent his rise to power. A covert assassination plot is set into motion, one that threatens to destabilize global politics and ignite a catastrophic war. The story follows a diverse cast of characters—seasoned CIA operatives, elite military forces, double agents, and high-ranking officials—each with their own agendas and secrets. As the clock ticks down, alliances are tested, loyalties are questioned, and the line between friend and foe blurs. The novel unfolds across multiple countries, with pulse-pounding action scenes, intricate political maneuvering, and unexpected twists that keep the reader guessing until the final pages.

The Obama presidency marked a rare high point in the Washington-Tehran relationship, as negotiations between the two countries and other powers produced an unprecedented nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. However, the Trump administration’s unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA, and re-...

This book tackles the following important questions: How and when do co-ethnic Kurdish organizations provide open support for each other during conflict-peace cycle events? Moreover, do external threats impact the relationship among co-ethnic organizations? The aim of this research is to identify the causal factors that influe...
