December 28, 2024 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , , ,
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) intensified aerial attacks on Yemen in the last several days, as Ansar Allah-led Yemeni Armed Forces continued operations against Israel in retaliation for the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, and against Israel’s allies who attempt to bypass the blockade imposed by Ansar Allah of Israel. On Thursday, December 26, Israeli warplanes targeted civilian facilities of Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport, including the airports’ main runway, control tower, and an aircraft, according to the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post.

Turkey Takes Aleppo

Before it fell under 20th century Anglo-American colonialism, Syria was the core of the Levant, encompassing (today’s) Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine, the site of multireligious, multicultural cities between which people traveled and traded freely. In the countryside, peasants and herders tended an agricultural and pastoral landscape of olive and orange trees, pasture, forest, and drylands. This region was under the control of the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years (perhaps Erdogan’s dream is to take some of it back. He’s been accused of “neo-Ottoman” fantasies).

Iran, Iraq Vow Support For Syria During Tripartite Summit In Baghdad

December 7, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Tehran and Baghdad expressed support for Syria on 6 December during a press conference to discuss the recent expansion of extremist groups across the country, following meetings between the foreign ministers of the three states in the Iraqi capital. “There is an international duty to fight terrorism in Syria,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said during the press conference. The foreign minister thanked Baghdad for hosting the tripartite meeting in the Iraqi capital, where he “held important meetings with the presidencies in Iraq in which he talked about relations between the two countries and the situation in Syria."

Anti-Imperialism And The Tricontinental Vocation

December 4, 2024 Hanna Eid, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
Radical economist Samir Amin understood well that revolutionary offensives against the imperialism of the triad (USA, EU, and Japan) will come from the tricontinental sphere of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The peripheries of the world-system are where the contradictions of capitalist-imperialism are the most heightened, and where the fissures can be exploited. According to Amin, we must analyze social struggles at three levels: the popular classes, nations, and states. This essay seeks to validate Amin’s argument by highlighting the anti-imperialist victories in the tricontinental sphere, while also providing a dose of hope and vitality against the defeatist attitude present in much of the US left since the victory of Trump, the Zionist massacres across West Asia, and the renewed attempts by imperialism to dismantle anti-systemic movements and States.

How Yemen Is Redefining Regional Power

November 22, 2024 Khalil Nasrallah, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The Ansarallah-aligned Yemen military, a key pillar of the Axis of Resistance, continues to strengthen its position in the ongoing war in West Asia, advancing to new levels in showcasing its power and cementing its role as a formidable force. Once viewed as a convenient Saudi punching bag, Sanaa’s growing influence and operational capabilities today are reshaping the dynamics in the region and creating new challenges for both regional and international actors. The Yemenis have shown the ability to launch – and get away with – nonstop military operations at sea against ships linked to Israel, the US, and the UK, missile operations and drones targeting the Israeli depth, and even targeting US aircraft carriers and destroyers stationed in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and northern Indian Ocean.

How Israel Is Trying To Beat The ‘Axis Of Resistance’

October 30, 2024 Ahmed Alqarout, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
In a recent public address on October 4, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei highlighted for the first time what he described as U.S. and Israeli plans to control the region’s natural resources. He stated that Israel’s current war campaign aims to position Israel as a hub for exporting energy to Europe and importing technology to ensure its survival. Khamenei called for resistance against the so-called India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), a proposed land bridge connecting India, Saudi, the UAE, Jordan, Israel, and Europe.

Arab States Are Coming Together To Prevent A Regional War

October 12, 2024 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
In a welcome, but under-reported, development last week, Arab states from the Gulf Cooperation Council reportedly “sought to reassure Iran of their neutrality” in the brewing conflict between Iran and Israel. The stance was expressed by Arab ministers to their Iranian counterparts at a meeting last week in Doha. It was not a formal, public declaration, but rather a commitment expressed in the meetings directly. Initially, reports—particularly the main one from Reuters on which much of the other reporting was based—also said that the Gulf states had explicitly stated that they would forbid the United States from using their airbases to attack Iran, although more recent and updated reports have mysteriously omitted this point.

From Axis Of Resistance To Political Cuckolds

October 10, 2024 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
The assault on the Palestinian Authority’s headquarters in the West Bank occurred only days after Israel began its siege of Gaza in October of 2023, leaving the building pockmarked with bullet holes. It might be surprising to know, however, that the assailants were not the Israeli Defense Forces, nor any settler mobs but the throngs of Palestinians who live under occupation and assembled outside the government building in Jenin to protest Israel’s control of the quisling Palestinian Authority, known as the Sultah. The Los Angeles Times wrote of the dispute: Disgusted with the authority’s inability to protect its own people or stand up to Israel, militants in the crowd aimed their bullets at the government compound after its security forces tried to break up the demonstration.‘

Obstacle To The Occupation: The West Bank Frontline

October 6, 2024 Aymun Moosavi, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
After twelve months of failed deterrence, Israel’s image has been battered and bruised. Desperate to project strength, the occupation state has resorted to various aggressive measures, including threats of a ground invasion into Lebanon and the assassination of Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah. To the same end, aggression against the Palestinian resistance in Gaza has continued in parallel; While the occupation officially marked the end of the largest military incursion on the occupied enclave since the Second Intifada in early September, Israeli attention remains fixed on the West Bank, with renewed strikes on Tulkarem.

US-British Warplanes Launch Airstrikes Across Yemen

October 5, 2024 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
The United States and the United Kingdom launched joint airstrikes on different cities across Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, Hodeidah Dhamar, and Baidha governorates on Friday, October 4. According to Yemen’s Ansar Allah-run news network Almasirah, a series of US-UK airstrikes hit the Al-Siyanah military camp north of Sanaa, the airport and Al-Khathib areas west of Hodeidah city, several areas south of Dhamar, and Mukayras district southeast of Baidha. The US Central Command (CENTCOM), responsible for the US forces in West Asia, wrote on X on Friday: “US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted strikes on 15 Houthi targets in Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen today at about 5 pm (Sanaa time).

September 23, 2024 The Cradle. , , , ,
Over 180 people have been killed in a massive wave of Israeli airstrikes targeting southern and eastern Lebanon on 23 September. “These raids have led, until the issuance of this statement, to 182 martyrs and 727 wounded, including children, women and paramedics among the martyrs and wounded,” the Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Monday afternoon. The toll is expected to continue rising. Israeli airstrikes are also targeting the Bekaa region in eastern Lebanon. Hundreds of strikes have taken place in the last few hours. Several civilian homes have been targeted and destroyed in several villages, including Sohmor in the Bekaa and several areas in the south, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported.

Hezbollah Fires 115 Rockets Toward Israel In Retaliation For Exploding Electronics Attack

September 22, 2024 Palestine Bureau, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
In the early hours of Sunday morning, September 22, Hezbollah launched several barrages of rockets on northern Israeli targets in the Haifa region, including a military airbase. The Lebanese resistance group said in a statement that the salvo of rockets was an “initial response” to the “monstrous massacre perpetrated by the Israeli enemy across Lebanese territory on Tuesday and Wednesday,” referring to the Israeli pager and electronics explosions last week, which claimed the lives of 32 people and injured over 3,000 others. The Lebanese response also comes two days after Israel’s bombing of Beirut’s southern Dahiya district on Friday that targeted and killed 15 leaders of the Radwan Force, Hezbollah’s elite military unit trained to invade Israeli territory. Among the slain were top Hezbollah commander and founder of the Radwan Force, Ibrahim Aqil.

Why Anti-Imperialists Must Defend Syria And The Axis Of Resistance

September 12, 2024 Richie Merino, Workers' World. , , , , , ,
The anti-colonial struggle against U.S./Western imperialism and the Zionist settler state has long shaped the geopolitical dynamics of West Asia. Syria stands at the epicenter of this struggle as a vital member of the Axis of Resistance, a united front of states and organizations dedicated to confronting Zionist and imperialist agendas in the region. This article argues that anti-imperialists must defend the Axis of Resistance and Syria, including its government in Damascus. It highlights Israel’s historical aggression against Syria — always encouraged by Washington — Syria’s vital role in the resistance...

As War Widens, US Assets Become Easy Targets

August 8, 2024 Mohamad Hasan Sweidan, The Cradle. , , ,
During a White House press conference on 31 July, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby underscored the US commitment to maintaining readiness to protect its security interests in West Asia. We have and will maintain a level of readiness to preserve our national security interests in the region. It’s not like we take a blind eye to what Iran is capable of doing and has shown their capability of doing in the region. His comments came amid spiked regional tensions, the highest since 7 October. Protecting Washington’s interests in the Levant and the Persian Gulf is a top priority for the Biden administration, especially given Tel Aviv’s dangerous recent provocations, including attacks and assassinations in Beirut, Tehran, and Hodeidah – inside key countries within the Axis of Resistance, which could escalate into a major conflict threatening US interests.

Resistance Axis: A Calculated, Simultaneous Strike On Israel

August 6, 2024 Ali Rizk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen’s Ansarallah-aligned armed forces have vowed to make the occupation state pay a heavy price following the targeted killing of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah senior commander Fuad Shukr in southern Beirut. Additionally, Israel bombed the Hodeidah port in Yemen following Sanaa’s successful ‘Yafa’ drone operation in Tel Aviv on 19 July. An official from the Lebanese resistance has informed The Cradle that “The response will come at once from Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen,” adding that the goal was to “inflict a painful blow to Israel which may not be achieved should separate retaliations be pursued.”
