📸 Weekly cartoon A government that for years built its power on threats in words, an arms race, and a dream of destroying others has, above all, eventually set the future and wealth of its own people on fire. Insisting on expanding missile capabilities, pursuing a nuclear program at any cost, and turning permanent enmity into a pillar of policy did not create security or prosperity, but instead brought international isolation, economic attrition, and ruin to the country. Sometimes history reveals its greatest judgment in a simple truth: the tools that were made to threaten others ultimately become a symbol of defeat and the legacy of their creators. This is what Mana Nistani has used as the subject of the weekly cartoon design for Deutsche Welle Persian.
