September 30, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in comments released on 30 September that it carries out “daily” strikes on vessels violating its regulations in the Strait of Hormuz, and that the US “has not been responding.” “We have been hitting small ships and preventing them from passing for a long time, but America does not respond,” said IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi. “There is a military confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz every 24 hours. For some time now, the US has not been responding,” he added. 

Swiss Neutrality And Its Enemies

September 16, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , ,
As reported here and there in Western media, although not very often or well or honestly, the Swiss will shortly vote in a referendum on whether their long tradition of neutrality will be written into the constitution and so be made a matter of law. Let us all pay close attention, I urge. Swiss neutrality is an international public good, to put the case simply. Any citizen of the West desiring to see the U.N. Charter observed, international law upheld, centrist authoritarianism checked and diplomacy rescued from the Western powers’ serial sabotage — altogether a world order worthy of the name — has an interest in the outcome of the Sept. 27 vote.

Iran: No New Talks With US Until Previous Conditions Are Met

September 16, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , ,
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei refuted United States President Donald Trump’s latest claims about his country seeking fresh talks. He reiterated that there will be no new talks with the US until it implements the conditions already agreed upon. “Dont get distracted by the US president’s mix signals-from ‘no negotiations’ to ‘we are ready to talk.’ The stakes around oil and the straits have changed. Damage control won’t stop what’s coming,” Rezaei said in a post on X on Tuesday, September 15. Rezaei was responding to Trump’s latest claims made on his social media post about Iran seeking a deal “quickly and badly.”

Iran Rejects US Ceasefire Proposal Delivered By Iraqi Prime Minister

July 24, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iranian officials have rejected a US ceasefire proposal personally delivered to Tehran by the Iraqi prime minister, the New York Times (NYT) reported on 24 July, citing Iranian and Iraqi officials. US President Donald Trump gave the proposal to Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi during their meeting at the White House earlier this month. Tehran reportedly rejected the proposal on Friday after Washington completed its 12th straight night of bombing Iran. According to the NYT report, Iranian and Iraqi officials did not reveal details of the ceasefire proposal. However, Iranian negotiators rejected the proposal because Tehran is “not interested in a temporary deal that left the question of control over the Strait of Hormuz unresolved,” the NYT wrote.

President Trump on Sunday issued new threats against Iran and its negotiators as US and Iranian officials were in Geneva, Switzerland, for the first round of talks under the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding. Speaking to Fox News reporter Trey Yingst, President Trump claimed that he spoke with Iranian officials overnight and told them: “You close [the Strait of Hormuz] and you won’t have a country.” The president was reacting to the news that Iran’s military announced it would re-close the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon, which killed dozens of people over the weekend despite another “ceasefire” being declared.

June 19, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
At least 18 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon since the early hours of Friday, following Hezbollah resistance operations that killed four occupation soldiers. The start of a 60-day period of technical negotiations between Iran and the US in Geneva was postponed on 19 June, following a brutal Israeli escalation against south and east Lebanon. The Swiss Foreign Ministry confirmed in a statement that the talks have been pushed, with no new date provided.

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.

Chris Hedges Report: Where Will The Coming Iran War Negotiations Lead?

June 15, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , , , ,
As the global economy teeters on the brink of a major crisis, the United States, with the aid of the Pakistani government, is once again attempting to finalize an agreement to end the war on Iran that could be signed this weekend. There are still many steps that must be taken before there can be a complete cessation of US/Israeli hostilities on Iran, but as oil reserves dwindle, time is running out. And, of course, even if a deal is signed, it remains to be seen whether the United States and Israel will violate it. In this episode, Chris Hedges speaks with Professor Mohammad Marandi, who is a former adviser to Iran’s nuclear negotiating team.

On Saturday, a source told CBS that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has instructed a team to assess costs for damage inflicted on Washington's Gulf allies by Iran.

Iran's negotiating team is stopping exchanges of messages with the ​US due to Israel's ongoing bombardment and invasion of Lebanon, Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported on 1 June. “The immediate cessation ​of the ⁠Zionist regime's aggressive and brutal army operations in Gaza and Lebanon and the necessity of the regime's complete withdrawal from the occupied areas in ⁠Lebanon ​have been emphasized by Iranian officials and ​negotiators, and there will be no talks until Iran and the resistance's views on this ​matter are met,” Tasnim added.

Iran Expresses ‘Total Solidarity’ With Oman

May 30, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
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.

Do US War Crimes Doom The World To Endless War?

May 28, 2026 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Iran rejected President Trump’s latest fake peace deal, confirming that he had misrepresented what Iran had agreed to and that the two sides are still very far apart, on nuclear enrichment, on control of the Strait of Hormuz, on peace in Palestine and Lebanon, and on lifting US sanctions, paying war reparations and Iran’s $100 billion in frozen assets. Iran’s conditions for a peace agreement are necessarily uncompromising, in response to the US record of using negotiations as cover for sneak attacks, and the charade of one-sided “ceasefires with Israeli characteristics,” in which the US and Israel routinely ignore and violate every ceasefire they agree to, including the present ones in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
