Regime Change

USAID, NED And Open Society Quietly Bankroll Cuba’s ‘Independent’ Media

May 16, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. , , , , ,
Amid escalating U.S. aggression towards the Cuban island through a maximum pressure campaign and the threat of military intervention, the United States government has been covertly funding a huge network of Cuban media outlets that claim to be independent in a push for regime change against the independent socialist government.  These outlets present themselves as unbiased investigative journalism, but are quietly being financed by Washington through USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Open Society Foundation in order to sow discontent across the Caribbean nation.

US Starves Cuba Of Fuel, Then Sends CIA Chief With Ultimatum

May 15, 2026 Gary Wilson, Struggle - La Lucha. , , , , ,
Cuba’s energy minister declared May 14 that the island had exhausted its entire supply of diesel and fuel oil — the fuels that power its electricity grid. “We have absolutely no fuel oil, absolutely no diesel. We have no more reserves,” Vicente de la O Levy said in a televised statement. Hours later, CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew to Havana with Washington’s demand for “fundamental changes.” That sequence tells the story. U.S. imperialism first tightened the fuel siege. Then it sent the head of the CIA to deliver the political ultimatum.

Haitians Demand New Government Amid Protest, Increasing Energy Costs

May 8, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Increasing protests in Haiti have laid bare the deep discontent of the population with the unelected government of Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, backed by the US regime. Demonstrations have intensified since May 1—International Workers’ Day—and have been marked by demands for an increase in salaries to cover the increasing costs of living, for maintenance of crumbling infrastructure, and for improvements in citizens’ quality of life, as well as calls for the de facto government’s resignation, among other grievances. Demonstrations were sparked by a drastic increase in oil prices announced by the unelected Haitian regime on April 2.

Mali Still Stands: A Sahelian Coup D’état That Almost Was

May 7, 2026 Jeremy Miller, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
In the early morning hours of April 25, 2026, a very sophisticated and coordinated attack was made against the Republic of Mali.  Armed groups simultaneously struck in Kidal and Gao to the north-east, Mopti and Sévaré in the center of the country, and critically, Bamako, and Kati in the center-west of the country.  Bamako is the national capital and Kati is a garrison town 9 miles north-west of Bamako, the largest town of the Koulikoro region. These were not random targets.  Reportedly The 1st Military Region and 13th Combined Arms Regiment are based in Gao; the 3rd Military Region is based in Kati; and the 6th Military Region is based in Sévaré.

Senior BBC Iran Reporter Exposed As Opposition Activist

April 10, 2026 Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , , ,
On April 6, 2026, horrified social media users began drawing attention to an extraordinary statement allegedly provided to the BBC by a twenty-something Iranian: “About them hitting energy infrastructure, using an atomic bomb, or leveling Iran – my honest reaction is that I’m okay with all of these.” Three hours later, as the uproar grew, the quote suddenly vanished from the BBC’s article. It had been replaced by a far less controversial criticism of the Iranian government. The episode raises serious questions about the BBC’s editorial process, as well as the background and motivations of the author responsible for the article.

Imperial Decline In The Strait Of Hormuz

March 17, 2026 Alfred McCoy, Consortium News. , , , ,
In the first chapter of his 1874 novel The Gilded Age, Mark Twain offered a telling observation about the connection between past and present: “History never repeats itself, but the… present often seems to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends.” Among the “antique legends” most helpful in understanding the likely outcome of the current U.S. intervention in Iran is the Suez Crisis of 1956, which I describe in my new book Cold War on Five Continents. After Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal in July 1956, a joint British-French armada of six aircraft carriers destroyed Egypt’s air force, while Israeli troops smashed Egyptian tanks in the sands of the Sinai Peninsula.

Venezuela And US Announce Restoration Of Diplomatic Relations

March 7, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
Caracas and Washington have decided to restore diplomatic and consular relations. The announcement was made on Thursday evening by the Venezuelan and US governments in simultaneous statements. In the Venezuelan statement shared by Foreign Minister Yván Gil, Venezuela “reaffirms its willingness to move forward in a new stage of constructive dialogue based on mutual respect, the sovereign equality of states, and cooperation between our peoples.” Venezuela also emphasized that these relations should result in the social and economic well-being of the Venezuelan people.

Iran’s New Tactics Force US To Reconsider Its Capacity For Pain

March 4, 2026 Levent Kemal, Middle East Eye. , , ,
When Israel and the US launched their operation against Iran, the core expectation was rapid regime change in Tehran. While this outcome may still formally remain on the table, recent messaging from Washington suggests a partial recalibration away from that initial assumption. Developments on the ground have failed to produce the anticipated shock and public fury necessary to trigger internal collapse in Iran. As the war enters its fourth day, it has expanded horizontally. Instead of unravelling, the Islamic Republic’s system has adopted a posture of resilience, while inflicting damage on locations connected to its enemies.

Death Toll From US Extrajudicial Killings Reaches 142

February 23, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , ,
US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) reported a new lethal strike in the Eastern Pacific on Friday, bringing the total number of deaths from its “kinetic strikes” on small boats to 142. The announcement comes as international legal experts and human rights organizations condemn this US policy, characterizing it as extrajudicial killings. In a statement on Friday, February 20, SOUTHCOM reported that its Operation Southern Spear conducted a “successful kinetic strike” against a small boat suspected of drug trafficking. The operation resulted in three assassinations.

Former Fashion Blogger Behind The ‘30,000 Dead’ Iran Psy-Op

February 2, 2026 Wyatt Reed and Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. , , ,
The claim of “30,000 killed” during two days of protests and rioting across Iran appears to be based largely on a single anonymous source, who admitted extrapolating that figure by assuming without evidence that “officially registered deaths related to the crackdown likely represent less than 10% of the real number of fatalities.” That quote was attributed by The Guardian to an alleged doctor whose real name the newspaper refused to publish, but whose identity it claimed to have verified. Originating in TIME Magazine on January 25th, the dubious “30,000” claim was quickly amplified by The Guardian, a key voice of left-liberal London respectability.

Jordan, UAE, UK To Assist Washington In ‘Strong Attack’ Against Iran

January 26, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Jordan, the UAE, and the UK are ready to provide Washington with intelligence and logistical support in the event of a US attack on Iran, Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom reported over the weekend.  According to the report, top officials in US President Donald Trump’s government are pushing for a “strong attack” against Iran, which would come as a “fundamental strategic move.” It adds that the US attack will be backed by Abu Dhabi as well as several European countries and the UK. This could include sharing intelligence and operational data, as well as assistance in intercepting Iran’s ballistic missiles or drones – as was the case in previous Iranian strikes on Israel.

US/ Israeli Attack On Iran Fails

January 21, 2026 Sara Flounders, Workers World. , , , ,
Washington’s latest criminal attack, following decades of nonstop efforts to overturn the Islamic Republic of Iran, a country of 92 million people, has failed.  Since the powerful 1979 Iranian Revolution overturned the corrupt Pahlavi monarchy, kept in place by U.S. and British imperialism, Washington has used invasions, bombings, assassinations and sabotage to try to reestablish its domination of this resource rich country. The Revolution — and with it the utilization of Iran’s own resources — transformed Iran, modernizing industry and providing health care, electrification, sanitation and free universal education.

Illiberal Democracy And The Tyranny Facing Iran

January 21, 2026 Sean Reynolds, Counter Currents. , , ,
Much more than the unforgivable Venezuela massacre which, over months, murdered some 250 people to remove just one member of Venezuela’s government, this attack resembled, in miniature, the business-as-usual shock-and-awe of previous U.S. administrations intent on driving inconvenient nations to societal collapse.  It is a tragic irony that all three aggressor nations in the recent attacks are themselves risking societal collapse in what seem the last years of the affluence that an evanescing global dominance will allow them to enjoy.

Iran Condemns US Attempts To Exploit Protests For Political Gain

January 17, 2026 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the “exploitation of the protests to pursue political agendas, combined with the ongoing effects of illegal unilateral US sanctions, undermines Iranians’ basic rights” and is a “shameful” act. Araghchi was addressing a letter to the UN Security Council, which is scheduled to meet on the afternoon of Thursday, January 15, to discuss the situation in Iran, where anti-government protests in the last few weeks have captured global attention. Araghchi expressed concerns over “provocative and irresponsible statements” made by current and former US officials inciting violence and unrest in his country and reiterated accusations of the direct involvement of Israel’s secret agency Mossad in the same.

Russia Blasts United States At UN Security Council Over Iran

January 16, 2026 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , ,
In the past two weeks of unrest, Darzi said, the “United States regime is responsible   “Peaceful protests that began on 28th of December 2025 with legitimate economic demands were deliberately hijacked by organized armed groups and transformed into violent riots.”  The led to attacks on mosques and police stations, and beheadings and burning innocent people alive, Darzi said.  “The situation is in fact very simple. The United States regime and its accomplices, particularly the Israeli regime, cannot evade responsibility for the innocent blood that has been shed in my country,” he said.
