How Decades Of Anti-Iran Hysteria Set Us On The Path To War

March 10, 2026 Nura Hossainzadeh, Middle East Eye. , , ,
The unthinkable has happened: the United States and Israel have launched a war on Iran, now in its second week. More than 1,300 people have reportedly been killed by American taxpayer-funded munitions, and some 100,000 displaced, while hospitals, schools, playgrounds and other civilian infrastructure have been destroyed. The assassination of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the opening US-Israeli strikes on 28 February was intended to decapitate the country's leadership and advance the regime-change goals openly declared by the Trump administration.

Iran Beyond The War Narrative: What Foreign Correspondents Actually See

March 10, 2026 Dr. Hana Saada, People's World. , , ,
In times of war, reality is often the first casualty—not only on the battlefield but in the narratives that travel across the global information system. As tensions surrounding Iran escalate, much of the international coverage has portrayed the country as teetering on the edge of internal panic and social breakdown. Yet recent reporting from foreign correspondents on the ground tells a far more complex story—one that challenges the dramatic narratives dominating headlines and raises uncomfortable questions about how wartime realities are framed for global audiences.

White House Seeks ‘Exit Plan’ For Iran War

March 10, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
US President Donald Trump’s advisors have been urging the US president to find an “exit plan” to “extract” Washington from the brutal war on Iran due to concerns of political backlash, informed sources told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on 9 March.  The officials have “encouraged him to articulate a plan to extract the US from the war and make the case that the military has largely achieved its objectives,” the sources said. While many still support Washington and Tel Aviv’s war, others have expressed concerns to the president that continuing it could “erode political support,” the report adds.

Iran Not Seeking Ceasefire, Aggressors Must Learn

March 10, 2026 Al Mayadeen English. , , , , ,
Iran is not seeking a ceasefire amid the ongoing war, instead, it intends to impose a decisive response on its adversaries, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Tuesday. In a post on X, Ghalibaf wrote: “We are certainly not seeking a ceasefire," adding, “We believe that the aggressors must be taught a harsh lesson so they never dare attack Iran again.” Ghalibaf also accused "Israel" of relying on recurring cycles of conflict to maintain its dominance, stating, “The Israeli entity believes that its survival lies in continuing the cycle of ‘war–negotiation–ceasefire and then war again’ in order to consolidate its hegemony, but Iran will break this cycle."

Will The World Survive US And Israeli Death Cults?

March 9, 2026 Andy Worthington. , , , , ,
It’s worse than we thought. While dirty, demented grandpa Donald, increasingly unhinged, keeps failing asleep and then waking up and indulging in bouts of incoherent ranting, he has already accomplished what his minders always intended: to bring together the two most twisted, delusional, genocidal, pseudo-religious movements in modern history —  Zionism and Christian Zionism — and to launch an apocalyptic war on their behalf. Donald Trump, of course, as a malignant narcissist, has no God but himself, and the same is true of his chief Zionist manipulator, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mojtaba Khamenei And The Continuity Of The Islamic Revolution

March 9, 2026 Sayid Marcos Tenorio, Middle East Monitor. , , , ,
The election of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran represents far more than a simple institutional succession. Coming amid an open regional conflict and following the martyrdom of Iran’s long-time leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the decision by the Assembly of Experts is widely seen as a direct political response to external attempts to destabilise the country. The announcement followed an extraordinary session convened under dramatic circumstances. Despite bombardments and threats against their own facilities, the members of the Assembly moved swiftly to appoint a new leader.

Trumpism In The Style Of A ‘Banana Republic’

March 9, 2026 Pilar Troya Fernandez, People's Dispatch. , , ,
The situation in Ecuador under Daniel Noboa’s government is one of authoritarianism advancing on several fronts simultaneously to consolidate neoliberalism and total submission to the US international agenda. These are not isolated measures, but rather a coordinated strategy that combines job insecurity, the dismantling of the welfare state, unrestricted access to mining, the continuation of oil exploitation without environmental considerations, the centralization of power through the financial suffocation of local governments, and the systematic criminalization of all forms of opposition and popular organization.

Cuban President Denounces ‘Small Reactionary And Neocolonial Summit’

March 9, 2026 Resumen English. , , , ,
“An attack on the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, an attack on the aspirations for regional integration, and a manifestation of the willingness to subordinate oneself to the interests of the powerful neighbor to the north under the precepts of the Monroe Doctrine.” The First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, denounced on his X account the Shield of the Americas summit, which is being held under the auspices of the US president.

Imperial Oil Grab

March 8, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Venezuela and Iran hold the largest and third-largest petroleum reserves in the world, respectively. Both have been targeted for regime change by Washington. The world’s hegemon naturally seeks access to such resources. Yet it would be simplistic to think that would be only for narrow economic motives. Dominion over energy flows – especially from countries with large reserves – is central to maintaining global influence. Washington requires control of strategic resources to sustain its position as global hegemon; a goal reflected in its official policy of “full spectrum dominance.”

From Mogadishu To Minneapolis

March 8, 2026 Elizabeth Schmidt, Africa is a Country. , , ,
The Trump administration’s crackdown on Somali refugees, immigrants, and US citizens of Somali descent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the home of some 80,000 people of Somali heritage, has been headline news in recent weeks—especially since the Immigration and Customs Enforcement killing of two American citizens—both white—who witnessed ICE brutality. The presence of so many Somalis in Minneapolis and the special antipathy the Trump administration has for them has roots that go far deeper than the president’s hostility toward Minneapolis Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, one of his most forceful and outspoken critics.

The War On Iran Is Forcing Gulf States To Reconsider Regional Strategy

March 7, 2026 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , ,
On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump told Jake Tapper of CNN that Iran having retaliated for the unprovoked war launched by him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by striking Arab states in the Persian Gulf region “was probably the biggest surprise” of the war so far. It was a stunning statement that reflects the utter lack of thought and preparation that went into launching this war of choice. Iran had demonstrated in the past that hitting the global energy supply was how it would respond to American attacks. More than that, it’s an obvious tactic.

US Rushes New Bomb Shipment To Israel

March 7, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The US State Department on 6 March bypassed Congress to approve the sale of thousands of 1,000 lb bombs to Israel, declaring an “emergency” due to the US-Israel war on Iran. The $151.8 million deal covers 12,000 BLU-110A/B 1,000-lb bomb bodies, as well as logistics and technical support. These bombs are manufactured by Repkon USA, which is owned by Repkon, a Turkish firm. By invoking the emergency determination, the State Department waived the normal congressional review period under the Arms Export Control Act.

220 US Forces Killed Or Wounded In Iranian Strikes In 24 Hours

March 7, 2026 PressTV. , , ,
The spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Zolfaghari, said on Saturday that 21 American service members were killed and a number of others injured during Iranian attacks on the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. He added that some 200 American personnel were also killed and wounded during strikes against the US military base in Al Dhafra Air Base. The Armed Forces also targeted an oil tanker owned by the United States in the northern part of the Persian Gulf, he noted.

Britain’s Role In Attacks On Cyprus, Venezuela, And Iran

March 7, 2026 Alfie Howis, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
Britain’s role in the recent machinations of the US empire has been central, despite going underreported and little criticized. Britain has a significant hand in the ongoing US war of aggression against Iran and their recent invasion of Venezuela. Britain’s empire and overseas bases, and associated intelligence and surveillance capabilities, are cornerstones of its contribution to these ongoing wars. Just as Britain’s colonial bases in occupied Cyprus served an intelligence and surveillance role in the Gaza genocide, so to did they help surveil Iran and prepare intelligence in preparation for US attacks, and are now being used as a staging post for those attacks.

Venezuela And US Announce Restoration Of Diplomatic Relations

March 7, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
Caracas and Washington have decided to restore diplomatic and consular relations. The announcement was made on Thursday evening by the Venezuelan and US governments in simultaneous statements. In the Venezuelan statement shared by Foreign Minister Yván Gil, Venezuela “reaffirms its willingness to move forward in a new stage of constructive dialogue based on mutual respect, the sovereign equality of states, and cooperation between our peoples.” Venezuela also emphasized that these relations should result in the social and economic well-being of the Venezuelan people.
