Opinion: What does Iran really want?

On the surface, Iran’s Saturday missile and drone attack on Israel was a response to the Israelis’ airstrike on an Iranian consulate building in Damascus two weeks ago that killed at least seven officials, including commanders of the nation’s Revolutionary Guards. Yet it also was an outgrowth of the enmity between Iran and Israel, including its ally the United States, that has been building for decades, a result of both the Iranian regime’s nature and of policy reversals and blunders by the US ever since the Western- and Israel-allied Shah of Iran was overthrown by Islamists in the 1979 Iranian Revolution. “A modern, strong, peaceful…

My team and I were at “the press mound” three miles away from the launch pad, which is as close as they let anybody. As always, I was thinking about what I would say if things went really wrong. It was my responsibility to be…

Hilton CEO Says the Key Leadership Lesson in the Hotel’s Turnaround: “We Kept a Steady Hand on the Wheel”

If you want to know how to fix up a company in deep trouble, ask Christopher Nassetta. He’s the man who turned around Hilton (HLT). He became CEO of the struggling hotel chain just after Blackstone Group bought it for an astounding $26 billion in the biggest private equity deal ever.
