IRGC Quds Force Chief Issues New Warning To Israel

June 25, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, Esmail Qaani, issued a warning to Israel on 25 June, demanding that it withdraw its occupation forces from “all of Lebanon.”  “Let the Zionists know: those who have stood and fought against you Yazidis with the spirit of Ashura and the faith of Imam Hussein carry within them the same eternal belief that ‘Every day is Ashura and every land is Karbala,’” Qaani said on Thursday.  The comments came on the 10th of Muharram, known as Ashura, in which Shias mourn the killing of the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Imam Hussein, at the battle of Karbala in 680 AD.

June 18, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Tel Aviv announced on 18 June the killing of an Israeli soldier and the wounding of seven others by Hezbollah, following the official signing of an understanding between the US and Iran – which demands an end to the war on Lebanon.  Master Sergeant Alexander Filin “fell in combat” on Tuesday, the army said, adding that an officer, a reserve officer, and a reserve soldier were moderately injured. A combat non-commissioned officer, two reserve soldiers, and a female reserve soldier were mildly injured, the Israeli army went on to say.

Leaked Iran Agreement Contradicts Claims About $300B Postwar Aid

June 18, 2026 Chris Walker, Truthout. , , , ,
On Wednesday, CNN obtained and published the details of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran, meant to halt the war between the countries for at least the next 60 days. The 14-point MOU calls for an “immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts” — including in Lebanon. The document also alludes to reaching a “final agreement” within the next two months, indicating that the MOU likely functions as more of a temporary ceasefire agreement than a lasting peace deal.

Iran: ‘No Point’ In Deal With US If Israel Remains Unrestrained

June 14, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned in a statement on 14 June that there is “no point” in continuing efforts to reach a deal with Washington if Tel Aviv remains unrestrained, a few hours after a new Israeli attack on Lebanon’s capital.  "The Zionists' aggression against the southern suburb [of Beirut] once again demonstrated that the US either lacks the will to uphold its commitments or lacks the ability to do so,” Ghalibaf said. “You cannot gain concessions by giving the [Israeli] regime a green light. The 'good cop, bad cop' game has grown old. If you lack the will and the ability to fulfill your commitments, then there is no point in speaking about continuing down this path," the parliament speaker added. 

Chris Hedges Report: Is The Ceasefire Dead?

June 9, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , , ,
The US-Israeli war has heated up again as Iran launched “Operation Victory” in response to Israel’s continued attacks on Southern Lebanon and attacks on Iranian infrastructure, and the United States bombing islands in the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend. In this episode, Chris Hedges speaks with former British Diplomat Alastair Crooke of the Conflicts Forum Substack, who explains that given the failure of diplomatic negotiations, Iran has entered a new phase of the war utilizing the methodology of ‘escalatory deterrence’ in which every attack on Iran will be met with an increasingly greater response.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi vowed “solidarity” and support for the Sultanate of Oman on 29 May, after US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb the Gulf country if it teams up with Tehran to manage the Strait of Hormuz. The comments came during a phone call between Araghchi and Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidy. “In very productive call with Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidy, I expressed Iran's solidarity with Oman in face of any threat,” Araghchi said in a statement on X. “We discussed Hormuz and its future administration in line with our sovereign responsibilities and international law. We welcome consultation with all neighboring states,” he added.

Iran Sets One-Month Deadline For End To US-Israeli War

May 3, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The Islamic Republic has set a one-month deadline for an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz and a full end to the wars on both Iran and Lebanon, sources told US media outlet Axios on 3 May.  Iran “set a one-month deadline for negotiations on a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end the US naval blockade and permanently end the war in Iran and in Lebanon,” the sources said.  “Per the Iranian proposal, only after such a deal is reached, another month of negotiations would be launched to try and reach a deal on the nuclear program,” they added. 

Washington To Shutter US Command Center Overseeing Gaza ‘Ceasefire’

May 2, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The White House is closing the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) near Gaza in the "latest blow" to US President Donald Trump's plan for the devastated strip, Reuters reported on 1 May. The CMCC was established in the Israeli city of Kiryat Gat near the Gaza border in October 2025 after Trump brokered a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian resistance. The CMCC was staffed with US military personnel and tasked with “monitoring” the ceasefire and boosting the entry of humanitarian aid into the strip under the direction of Trump's Board of Peace.

Chris Hedges Report: Is Hezbollah Beating Israel In Lebanon?

April 19, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
On April 16, the Trump administration forced the Israeli military to cease its attacks on Lebanon as part of an agreement with Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz. This marked another victory for the Axis of Resistance and the Lebanese people. However, Israel has a long history of violating its ceasefire agreements, and it is unlikely to give up on its fundamental goal of occupying Lebanon by attempting to foment a civil war between Hezbollah and the Lebanese military. In this episode, Chris Hedges speaks with Free Palestine TV journalist, Laith Marouf, who is reporting from southern Lebanon.

The Collapse Is Real; Lebanon Ceasefire Marks A Historic Strategic Defeat

April 17, 2026 Ramzy Baroud, Counter Punch. , , ,
A ceasefire in Lebanon was announced on Thursday by US President Donald Trump, but its reality tells a very different story. The ceasefire was not the product of American diplomacy, nor Israeli strategic calculation. It was imposed—largely as a result of sustained Iranian pressure. Washington, Tel Aviv, and their allies—including some within Lebanon itself—will continue to deny this reality. Acknowledging Iran’s role would mean admitting that a historic precedent has been set: for the first time, forces opposing the United States and Israel have succeeded in imposing conditions on both.

Iran Announces Full Reopening Of Strait Of Hormuz

April 17, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The Islamic Republic of Iran announced on 17 April the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, following the fulfillment of its condition for a complete cessation of hostilities in Lebanon.  “In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement on Friday afternoon. US President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to respond to Tehran’s announcement. 

A Sigh Of Relief, But Breathing Easy Is Impossible In A Circumference Of US Empire

April 10, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
Yesterday evening, the world collectively breathed a sigh of relief as it was reported that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States reached a deal for a two-week cessation of hostilities to allow for negotiations that will ultimately lead to a longer peace deal between the two nations and the zionist ethnostate of Israel. Yet Iranians and the entire world are not breathing easy as it’s understood that the U.S. and Israel have lost credibility as it pertains to keeping their word and adhering to parameters of a ceasefire agreement. 

Europe Welcomes Ceasefire Announcement In Iran

April 9, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , ,
After a prolonged series of communications that failed to mention the United States and Israel as participants – let alone initiators – of the illegal war on Iran, European leaders today welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire. While these statements did mention the US, they remained silent on Israel’s role in the attacks, acknowledging its involvement only indirectly: “We call upon all sides to implement the ceasefire, including in Lebanon,” a joint statement by several European Prime Ministers and EU officials reads. The Israeli occupation, of course, continued to escalate its assault on Lebanon despite this kind appeal.

‘Historic Victory’: Iran Says US Forced To Accept Its Negotiation Framework

Iran's Supreme National Security Council said on Wednesday that the country had achieved a "historic" victory and forced the United States to accept the framework of a 10-point proposal ahead of planned negotiations. In a statement, the council said the proposal includes guarantees of non-aggression, continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, the withdrawal of US forces from the region, and reparations. It added that negotiations, set to begin on Friday in Pakistani capital Islamabad, will focus on finalising details but "do not mean the end of the war".

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."
