Trump’s Threats To ‘End’ Iran Spark Backlash Across The United States

April 8, 2026 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , ,
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” said US President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social on April 7. The statement followed remarks a day earlier in which the president said “the entire country can be taken out in one night”, if Iran failed to make a deal by Trump’s deadline of 8pm EST on April 7. “After that, they’re going to have no bridges, they’re going to have no power plants,” Trump said in a chaotic White House address on April 6 . “Every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12:00 … complete demolition.”

Chris Hedges Report: Is The War In Iran About To Become Apocalyptic?

April 7, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , , ,
Recently, United States President Donald Trump has been issuing a series of soft deadlines to pressure Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz. On Easter Sunday, in what would be a serious escalation of the conflict, President Trump threatened to target “bridges and power plants” and to “bomb Iran back to the Stone Age” beginning on Tuesday if Iran refuses his demands. To better understand what the ramifications would be if President Trump follows through on his threats, Chris Hedges sits down with Trita Parsi, an expert on US-Iranian relations and the geopolitics of the Middle East.

Donald Trump And The Truth About Robert Mueller

March 28, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The public denunciation of a political enemy on the day of his death would be shocking if those words were uttered by anyone other than Donald Trump. The screed was vintage Trump: blurting out whatever he wanted without considering the thoughts and feelings of others, or any traditional niceties about not speaking ill of the dead, especially those who, as the saying goes, aren’t even cold in the grave.  But the decidedly rude response also had a significant element of truth. Despite his many lies about issues big and small Trump is not wrong about Robert Mueller’s pursuit of innocent people.

Trump ‘Postponed’ Strikes On Iranian Power Plants

March 24, 2026 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
Iran warned it will completely shut down the Strait of Hormuz if its power plants are targeted in US-Israeli attacks. It also repeated that power plants in countries in the region that host US military bases will also be “legitimate” targets of its retaliation. The statement was issued by Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters on Sunday, March 22, following US President Donald Trump’s threat on Saturday about targeting Iran’s power plants if it fails to open the Strait of Hormuz in the next 48 hours. Iran announced previously that the strait is open for all except for the allies of the US and Israel.

Will Trump Break The Nuclear Taboo?

March 20, 2026 Peter Kuznick and Ivana Nikolic Hughes, Consortium News. , , , ,
President Donald Trump has been on quite a roll. Since just the beginning of the year, he has kidnapped the Venezuela president, threatened to invade Greenland and Colombia and has dragged the U.S. – and seemingly much of the Middle East — into a new war by joining with Israel to attack Iran, something that even the biggest hawks among recent U.S. presidents have managed to avoid. That’s on top of bombing seven countries in 2025.  The 2024 campaign promises of a peace president who will end the forever wars have evaporated, only to be replaced by unrestrained use of military force and a seeming disdain for diplomacy.

Chris Hedges Report: How Israel Convinced Trump To Wage War

March 19, 2026 Chris Hedges, Substack. , , ,
As the chaos and destruction of the war in Iran escalates by the day, a lesser known element of the conflict remains ensconced in the shadows of statespeak and bureaucracy. Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, joins Chris Hedges to explain how an Israeli psychological warfare campaign worked to exploit Donald Trump’s imbecilic intelligence and increasing paranoia with the ultimate goal of luring the President into a war with Iran. Blumenthal says the Israelis and their allies convinced President Trump that Iran was trying to assassinate him – a fear first stoked when Trump began a vicious cycle of violence with the regime after he assassinated Iranian General Qasem Soleimani during his first term.

Trump’s Naval Coalition To Reopen Strait Of Hormuz Dead In The Water

March 16, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Several countries have either rejected or expressed serious concerns about US President Donald Trump’s plan to form a coalition aimed at escorting vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has closed to Washington and its allies in retaliation for the brutal US-Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic. Germany’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Johann Wadephul, said on 15 March that he was “skeptical” of Trump's plan. “Will we soon be an active part of this conflict? No,” he went on to say.  German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said, “What does Trump expect a handful of European frigates to do that the powerful US Navy cannot?”

Iranian Leaders Join Millions-Strong Marches For Quds Day

March 13, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Amid US claims that Iran's leadership was hiding underground “like rats,” the Islamic Republic's top officials appeared in public and openly walked the streets while attending a Quds Day rally in the capital, Tehran, on 13 March. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and security chief Ali Larijani were all seen among demonstrators at the Quds Day rally, held yearly on the last Friday of Ramadan to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and to oppose Israel and Zionism. “Despite the so-called ‘brutal attacks’ by the Zionist regime and the United States, millions of Iranians flooded the streets of Tehran and cities across the country.

Trump’s Allies To Gather In Miami For ‘Shield Of The Americas’ Summit

March 6, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
As the United States and Israel wage war against the peoples of Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and the peoples of the region, the Trump administration seeks to secure its dominance in the Americas. On March 7 in Doral, Florida (part of the Miami metropolitan area), the Trump administration will host a summit entitled “Shield of the Americas”. Although its organizers claim that the summit seeks to strengthen ties between the US and the rest of the countries in the region, it appears that powerful countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil will not be in attendance. The participation of Venezuela, Uruguay, Guatemala, and Nicaragua has also not been confirmed.

What’s New In Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’ For Gaza

March 2, 2026 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
One month after Washington had announced the launch of phase two of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal, developments regarding Trump’s “Board of Peace”, which is supposed to administer the besieged enclave in the post-war era, are still unfolding. The new developments revolve around three major pivots, including a pledge of USD 17 billion for rebuilding the war-ravaged territory, exploring the creation of a new digital currency to boost its economy, and the commitment of five countries to join the so-called International Stabilization Force (ISF).

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Confirmed Dead

March 1, 2026 People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
Iran confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei early on March 1. Khamenei, along with several members of his family, was killed in the US-Israeli airstrikes carried out against sites across Iran on February 28. In addition to the Supreme Leader, over 200 Iranians have been killed, including several top officials and commanders, and hundreds have been injured. Iran has declared 40 days of national mourning and mass demonstrations have broken out in cities across the country against the US-Israeli strikes.

The Shadow Campaign Behind The Iran Strike

March 1, 2026 Freddy Brewster, The Lever. , , , ,
As President Donald Trump draws the country into hostilities with Iran, shadowy conservative groups working to gut consumer protections, slash climate policy, roll back abortion rights, and push America to the far right have also been pouring millions into influential think tanks advocating for regime change in the country. While overthrowing Iran’s government could risk prolonged instability and bloodshed in the region, the efforts could please the neoconservative billionaires and benefit the fossil fuel interests funneling dark money to the think tanks.

Trump’s Economy Is Hurting Americans

February 28, 2026 C .J. Polychroniou, Truthout , , ,
President Donald Trump is boasting about the economy one year into his term. He claims that inflation has been defeated, growth is unprecedented, incomes are rising, and his tariffs are generating hundreds of billions for the U.S. economy. This is all hogwash, according to progressive economist Gerald Epstein, a leading global authority on macroeconomic policy and finance. In the exclusive interview for Truthout that follows, Epstein explains how, in reality, Trump’s policies have created an affordability crisis, and the growing deficit and humongous public debt are now bringing the country close to a tipping point.

‘Board Of Peace’ Debut Sparks Fears For Gaza’s Future

February 22, 2026 Maysa Mustafa, Middle East Eye. , , ,
The first official "Board of Peace" meeting for Gaza on Thursday drew mixed reactions online, after several announcements and policy signals prompted frustration across social media. In Washington, DC, US President Donald Trump convened the inaugural session of his proposed Board of Peace for Gaza, an initiative framed within the 20-point ceasefire plan that took effect on 10 October and was later ratified in Davos, Switzerland, on 22 January. Trump is set to serve as the board’s chairman for life. During the meeting at the newly renamed Donald J Trump Institute for Peace, several pledges and policy directions were outlined, including a reported $7bn commitment from nine countries towards relief efforts in Gaza.

Trump: ‘I Can Destroy Countries’

February 21, 2026 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , ,
Reacting to a U.S. Supreme Court decision ruling his tariffs policy unconstitutional, U.S. President Donald Trump launched into an unhinged rant on Friday confirming that he considers himself above the law as any tinpot authoritarian leader would.   The court ruled 6-3 that the U.S. Constitution makes clear that only Congress can levy tariffs, which are really taxes, on the U.S. population. Thus Trump’s extensive tariffs, imposed since January 2025, are illegal and American consumers and companies are due a refund of around $200 billion, the court said.
