Israel’s War On Gaza: Who Are Palestine Action?

June 25, 2025 Katherine Hearst, Middle East Eye. , , , , ,
The British government is set to ban the direct action group Palestine Action under anti-terror legislation after activists broke into RAF Brize Norton earlier this month and spray-painted two planes. The group said the airbase was targeted because flights leave there daily "for RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, a base used for military operations in Gaza and across the Middle East". The activists damaged Airbus Voyager aircraft, which carry military cargo and refuel fighter jets and military planes. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said she will bring legislation to proscribe the group before Parliament on 30 June.

The Ceasefire With Iran Reveals The Limits Of Israel’s Power

June 24, 2025 Abdaljawad Omar, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Much of the current crop of commentary on Israel’s war of aggression on Iran has adopted the familiar tone of breathless admiration: praise for its targeting precision, the elegance of its intelligence-gathering, the almost clinical efficiency with which it eliminates not only combatants but scientists, technicians, and — under the now-naturalized euphemism — “sites and infrastructure.” Israel’s opening salvo in the war was, by most conventional metrics, effective. The Iranians, caught off guard, scrambled to recalibrate. Though they gradually recovered some measure of initiative, their response bore the marks of persistence and attrition rather than dominance.

Atomic Agency Gave Diplomatic Cover To War On Iran

June 24, 2025 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), allowed the IAEA to be used by the United States and Israel — an undeclared nuclear weapons state in long-term violation of IAEA rules — to manufacture a pretext for war on Iran, despite his agency’s own conclusion that Iran had no nuclear weapons program. On June 12, based on a damning report by Grossi, a slim majority of the IAEA Board of Governors voted to find Iran in non-compliance with its obligations as an IAEA member. Of the 35 countries represented on the board, only 19 voted for the resolution, while three voted against it, 11 abstained and two did not vote.

Study Finds Israel ‘Disappeared’ Nearly 400,000 Palestinians In Gaza

June 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
A new report published by the Harvard database reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023. Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children. The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population. The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.

Over 1,000 Activists Hold Mass Blockade Of Companies Arming Israel

June 24, 2025 Ciara Carolan, The New Arab. , , , , ,
Around 1000 activists blockaded two Belgian companies that provide arms components to Israel on Monday, calling for an end to European complicity in the Gaza genocide. At 07:45 local time on Monday, around 900 Stop Arming Israel Belgium (SAIB) activists, dressed in white suits, masks, and keffiyehs, swarmed the headquarters of Syensqo in Haren, on the outskirts of Brussels. At least 650 participants were later detained. Some of the arrests were violent. Syensqo is a Belgian company that produces MTM46 resin for Hermes 450 drones - the model that killed seven aid workers in Gaza last April.

‘Disarmiamoli!’ Brings 30,000 To Rome Against NATO And War

June 24, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
Some 30,000 people took to the streets of Rome on June 21 to protest war and rising military expenditures. Organized under the banner “Disarmiamoli!” (Let’s disarm them!), the demonstration brought together workers, grassroots trade unions, student collectives, and social movements. Protesters condemned the expansion of military budgets across Europe, coming at the direct expense of public services like healthcare, education, and other public services. “Forty billion [euros] more will be gradually handed over to war instead of addressing our real needs, schools, hospitals, emergency services and environmental transition, and social support for those in need,” the Disarmiamoli! network stated ahead of the protest.

The US-Israeli War On Iran Undergirds The Need For A Multipolar World

June 23, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , ,
On June 12, just days before a scheduled negotiations session, the illegal state of Israel attacked Iran, killing top military leaders and scientists. Iran responded the next day by returning the attack on Israel, and there have been daily attacks between the two countries since then. On June 21, the United States, which had been providing support to Israel, attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dr. Foad Izadi from the University of Tehran about the long history of US and Israeli aggression on Iran, how the current war is impacting the country and why this conflict is pivotal to the end of US/Western hegemony and the rise of a multipolar world.

War On Iran Is Fight For US Unipolar Control Of World

June 23, 2025 Michael Hudson, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
Opponents of the war with Iran say that the war is not in American interests, seeing that Iran does not pose any visible threat to the United States. This appeal to reason misses the neoconservative logic that has guided U.S. foreign policy for more than a half century, and which is now threatening to engulf the Middle East in the most violent war since Korea. That logic is so aggressive, so repugnant to most people, so much in violation of the basic principles of international law, the United Nations, and the U.S. Constitution, that there is an understandable shyness in the authors of this strategy to spell out what is at stake.

Israel Seeks ‘Quick End’ To War; Heavy Iranian Attacks Pummel Major Cities

June 23, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israel is signaling an interest in concluding its war with Iran in the near future, according to Israeli and Arab officials who spoke with the Wall Street Journal. The effort comes after US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and another wave of Iranian missiles targeting Israel. Israeli officials said they believe the current military phase is nearing its conclusion and expect to finish striking the remaining targets in Iran within days. The goal, officials added, is to pressure Iran back to the negotiating table and secure a commitment to permanently abandon its nuclear program. On Monday, Iran conducted the 21st wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel, inflicting heavy damage in multiple cities.

Iran Warns Of NPT Withdrawal, Strait Of Hormuz Closure After Attack

June 23, 2025 Al Mayadeen, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
Following the United States’ airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, senior Iranian lawmakers have raised the possibility of withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz in retaliation. The warnings come after US President Donald Trump announced, in a post in Truth Social, on Sunday at dawn, that the United States carried out what he described as a “very successful attack” on three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Esmail Kowsari, a prominent member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in Parliament, affirmed that the country had already implemented protective measures to safeguard its nuclear infrastructure.

Hundreds Protest NATO Summit, Israel-Iran Conflict In The Hague

June 23, 2025 Al Jazeera. , , , , , , ,
Hundreds of people have protested in The Hague, in the Netherlands, against NATO and increased military spending in advance of a summit, as Iran’s conflict with Israel and the United States intensifies by the day. People demonstrated on Sunday against the military alliance, Israel’s punishing war in Gaza and the Israel-Iran conflict, hours after the US targeted three nuclear sites in Iran in a sudden escalatory move in support of its biggest ally in the Middle East. Hossein Hamadani, 74, an Iranian who lives in the Netherlands, told The Associated Press news agency that they are “opposed to war”. “People want to live a peaceful life … Things are not good. So why do we spend money on war?” he added.

The Only Weapons Of Mass Destruction In The Middle East Are Zionism, Israel’s Nukes And US/Western Imperialism

June 22, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The zionist ethnostate has been spoiling for a war with Iran for decades. Who can forget the comedic, cartoonish, yet dark presentation of Benjamin Netanyahu to the United Nations in 2012 when he suggested that Iran was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon. Netanyahu and other neocons have been peddling the false narrative about Iran’s nuclear timeline for decades, but this time is much different because it was acted upon, which has resulted in more death, more illegal acts that are egregious violations of international law and more global instability at the hands of the zionist ethnostate and its willing collaborators in the U.S. and the West.

The United States’ Plan To Bomb Iran

June 22, 2025 Peter Cronau, Consortium News. , , , ,
A plan was developed for the United States to use diplomacy to entice Iran into negotiations that then fail, so Iran can be attacked while the U.S. is pushing a false narrative saying the Iranians “brought it on themselves.” The plan also urged the U.S. to encourage or assist the Israelis, as a direct U.S. proxy, to conduct the strikes on Iran so as to deflect criticism and retaliation onto Israel, as Declassified Australia reports. The audacious plan for a “plausibly deniable” war is detailed in an analysis flippantly titled “Leave It To Bibi: Allowing or Encouraging an Israeli Military Strike,” published in a report named Which Path To Persia: Options for a New American Strategy Towards Iran by the Brookings Institution, a longstanding Washington, D.C., think tank.

Over The Brink

June 22, 2025 Michael Brenner, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
As of this writing, the Trump White House has launched an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran – a country that already is the victim of an unprovoked aggression by Israel. B-52 bombers have hit three major nuclear facilities; batteries of Tomahawk missiles also have been fired. The potential consequences are catastrophic. This action is in violation of the explicit Constitutional provision that Congress alone has the power to declare war. That fundamental fact gets barely mentioned in whatever public discourse has taken place. The termination point of this reckless path to war will find us despised in the world – whatever the immediate military outcome.

Is The United States’ Story Of Its Attack On Iran Accurate?

June 22, 2025 Moon Of Alabama. , , , ,
The Pentagon claims that 30 cruise missiles were fired from submarines against Iranian nuclear sites near Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. The main strike was allegedly by three B-2 heavy bomber which dropped six bunker buster bombs on the buried enrichment facility in Fordow. There are doubts that this indeed has happened. What we do know for sure is that the U.S. has launched an unprovoked, illegitimate attack against another country. The attack was also in breach of the Non-Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. Iran could, and now maybe should, resign from that treaty and reject inspections by IAEA personnel.
