US Claims Of Security And Peace ‘Nothing But A Lie’

March 16, 2026 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. Educate! Iran, Negotiations, Strait of Hormuz, Wars and Militarism

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei “advised” the country’s neighbors to shut down all US military bases they are hosting as soon as possible, claiming they do no service but threaten regional peace and stability. The leaders in the countries in the region “must have realized by now that America’s claims of establishing security and peace was nothing but a lie,” Khamenei said while addressing the nation for the first time on Thursday, March 12, after being elected. Iran elected Mojtaba as the country’s new supreme leader after his predecessor and father Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated in a US-Israeli attack on his office in Tehran on February 28.

During a press conference held Friday in the Cuban capital, President Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed the existence of a dialogue process — currently in its initial phase — between Cuban officials and representatives of the United States government, aimed at finding solutions to bilateral differences. In response to a question from Prensa Latina, the President — who also serves as First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba — underscored that there has been much speculation surrounding this process, and noted that it has long been a practice of the Revolution not to respond to such campaigns.

Iran Offers Compromise On Enrichment In Exchange For Sanctions Relief

February 15, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Iran, Negotiations, US Sanctions, Wars and Militarism

Iran has offered to compromise uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief, putting the "ball in America's court" amid ongoing negotiations with the US to avoid war. In an interview with the BBC on 15 February, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi stated that Tehran had offered to dilute its 60 percent-enriched uranium in an effort to reach a compromise with the US President Donald Trump, who has been amassing US forces in the region in preparation for possible renewed attacks on the Islamic Republic. "We are ready to discuss this and other issues related to our program if they are ready to talk about sanctions," Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC. "Sanctions have to also be on the table."

Israel Sets Red Lines Ahead Of Iran–US Talks

February 3, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Iran, Israel, Negotiations, Wars and Militarism, West Asia

Israel is pushing the US to maintain the “three no’s” in upcoming talks with Iran, Israeli media reported – referring to the demand that Tehran end enrichment and give up its nuclear program, end its ballistic missile program, and halt support for resistance groups in the region. “Israel is expected to call for the US to uphold ‘three no’s’ during the talks with Iran. These demands are that under any deal with the US, Iran agree to have no nuclear program, no ballistic missile program, and to give no support to armed proxy groups,” the Times of Israel said.

Hamas Says Leaders Survived Israel’s Attack On Qatar’s Doha

September 9, 2025 Federica Marsi, Brian Osgood, and Ali Harb, Al Jazeera. Educate! Hamas, Israel, Negotiations, Palestine, qatar, Wars and Militarism

Jeremy Scahill, cofounder of Drop Site News, says the attack in Doha is “yet another sign” that “neither the United States nor Israel are interested in actually having a negotiated end” to the war on Gaza. Scahill underscored that Hamas made major concessions in accepting a ceasefire proposal last month, dropping demands for a timetable for Israeli withdrawal from the border area with Egypt and lowering the number of Palestinian captives it is requesting in exchange for Israelis held in Gaza. The veteran journalist said Israel did not even respond to the Hamas-approved proposal, and instead pushed on with the assault on Gaza City in a plan to forcibly displace more than one million Palestinians.

Can We Build Robust Public Administration Institutions In The Global South?

July 4, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Economic inequality, Global South, Negotiations, Neocolonialism

A decade ago, I was a fly on the wall during a trade negotiation between the United States and a small country in Southeast Asia. What interested me was not the substance of the negotiation, the deliberations around an issue of minor concern to world affairs but of great concern to this one country, but the disproportionality between the personnel at the negotiating table. The delegation from the United States that arrived at this nondescript office in Geneva, Switzerland, was considerable in two respects: first, it had an overabundance of lawyers and associates, and second, they came armed with a large number of binders that had all the paperwork for their case, replete with labelled page-holders so that they could dive directly into the points they needed to make in the discussion.

Fighting Mid-Contract Changes Can Build The Union

June 24, 2025 Al Davidoff, Labor Notes. Organize! Labor Movement, Negotiations, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Often our best opportunity to strengthen the union—to build activism, solidarity, and leadership—comes during contract negotiations. Under most U.S. union contracts, this is the only time we are legally free to use our greatest power, the strike. But during the years between negotiations, it’s easy to revert to a sleepy “business union” model. We may reinforce passivity or dependence among the members we “serve” by handling their day-to-day problems “for” them instead of mobilizing their power and true ownership of the local. How can we mobilize members during the long periods between contracts?

Demystifying How The Hamas Leadership Works

September 1, 2024 Hanna Alshaikh, Mondoweiss. Educate! Ceasefire, Hamas, Negotiations, Palestine, Politics

After Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas Political Bureau, was assassinated in Tehran, the Movement’s senior consultative body, the Shura Council, quickly and unanimously chose Yahya Sinwar as his successor. At the time of his killing, Haniyeh had been leading the Hamas effort in the ceasefire negotiations with mediators, and many analysts claimed that Sinwar’s rise signaled a total break with the policies of Haniyeh and other senior Political Bureau members. Much of this analysis is misinformed. It betrays a shallow understanding of not just the leaders of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), but the wider Movement as a whole.

Report: Ukraine’s Kursk Offensive Derailed Partial Ceasefire Talks

August 19, 2024 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. Educate! Infrastructure, Negotiations, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Ukraine’s offensive into Russia’s Kursk Oblast has derailed planned indirect negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian officials that could have resulted in a partial ceasefire, The Washington Post reported on Saturday. The two sides were scheduled to send officials to Qatar for negotiations on an agreement that would halt strikes on energy and power infrastructure on both sides. Qatari officials would have acted as mediators instead of having the Russian and Ukrainian negotiators meet directly. An unnamed diplomat told the Post that Russia postponed the talks after Ukraine launched its invasion of Kursk on August 6. The diplomat said the talks weren’t called off altogether, saying the Russians “didn’t call off the talks, they said give us time.”

Palestine: No Breakthrough In Doha Talks

August 17, 2024 Al Mayadeen, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Ceasefire, Egypt, Genocide, Hamas, Israel, Negotiations, qatar, US Imperialism

The Doha negotiations did not yield any developments as “Israel” is clinging to its positions, a senior Palestinian Resistance official told Al Mayadeen. Moreover, a senior Hamas source pointed out that what the movement’s leadership was informed of Friday regarding the results of the Doha ceasefire meetings does not include a commitment to what was agreed upon on July 2. This follows a statement that senior officials from the governments of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt will reconvene in Cairo before the end of next week with an aim to conclude a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and a prisoner exchange deal between Hamas and “Israel”.

Why The US-Venezuela Dialogue Restarted

July 7, 2024 Ociel Alí López, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Elections, Negotiations, Nicolas Maduro, US Imperialism, Venezuela

With less than a month to go before the presidential elections in Venezuela, several international players are making their moves. The first was Washington. President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, July 1, the resumption of talks with the US government. Venezuela has been quite far from the front pages of the international media unlike in previous years. Additionally, its economy has stabilized, emerging from the hyperinflation that today plagues various other countries. It seems that something is happening in Venezuela, and it is that after nine years, on the coming July 28, all political sectors, without exception, will participate in the elections that will mark the future of Venezuela for the next six years.

Taking Bottom-Up Action Changes The Balance Of Power

May 11, 2024 Ellen David Friedman, Labor Notes. Strategize! Grassroots, Negotiations, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Consider two different ways a union can take action to solve problems. A top-down approach may solve the immediate workplace problem, but it may not change the balance of power. Engaging as many members as possible in a bottom-up approach may accomplish both goals. For example, consider the case at right where a boss unilaterally announces an unpopular new schedule, and how things might play out depending which approach you take, top-down vs. bottom-up. In the first week, the approach on the left might appear more forceful—immediate action is taken! But a request to bargain is an action that the boss knows how to ignore. The longer it drags on, the more disaffected the members become.

Johns Hopkins Justice Collective Update On Negotiations With University

May 6, 2024 Johns Hopkins Justice Collective, Popular Resistance. Resist! Campus Movement, Ceasefire, Divestment, Gaza, Johns Hopkins University, Negotiations, Palestine, Student Activism

Baltimore, MD - Over the past few days, the University has sent emails to the JHU student body and faculty attempting to paint the encampment as unwilling to enter negotiations. This framing by the University is incredibly dishonest: an hours long, closed-door meeting is not the only way to negotiate. Since the beginning of the encampment, we have repeatedly asked that the University send us negotiation offers by email, which they have consistently refused to do. To say we refuse to negotiate until Tuesday is plainly untrue. Our request to begin via email is for a variety of reasons.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 145: Hamas Warns Israel And US Of ‘Political Machinations’ Amid Talks

February 28, 2024 Mustafa Abu Sneineh, Mondoweiss. Educate! Ceasefire, Genocide, Hamas, Israel, Negotiations, Palestine, US Imperialism

Hamas’ armed wing, Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, launched on Wednesday morning a barrage of missiles from southern Lebanon on Israeli targets in the north. Al-Qssam Brigades said it bombed “the headquarters of Israel’s 769th Eastern Brigade (Camp Ghaibour), and its airport barracks in Beit Hilal in northern occupied Palestine, with two missile salvos consisting of 40 Grad missiles.” It said the attack comes as a response to “the Zionist massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip and the assassination of the martyred leaders and their brothers in the southern suburbs of Lebanon,” referring to Saleh Al-Arouri, Hamas deputy political leader and four Al-Qassam’s commanders assassinated by Israel in January.

For Open Bargaining, Start Early And Build

August 3, 2023 Ellen David Friedman, Labor Notes. Organize! Democracy, Labor Unions, Negotiations, Rank and File

In many unions, ratification of a collective bargaining agreement can leave members alienated and angry. Sometimes members will be learning about the major features of a tentative deal for the first time. Little time is given to discussion—members are expected to approve what leadership recommends, and officers may get defensive at questions or complaints. In some unions, members know their opinion doesn’t matter and may not even bother to vote. But there’s another way to go, to build a powerful, participatory, energized union through the bargaining process: open bargaining.
