Sources: United States Will Enter Israel’s War With Iran

June 16, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , ,
Sources familiar with the matter have told Antiwar.com Editorial Director Scott Horton that the Trump administration is poised to enter Israel’s aggressive war against Iran directly. US airstrikes on Iran could begin as soon as Monday. Please contact the White House by sending an email or calling the comment line starting at 10 am EST on Monday  (202‑456‑1111). Tell them that you do not want the US to enter this disastrous war, which could lead to heavy American casualties at US bases across the Middle East.

The Illegal Attack On Iran

June 15, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Counter Punch. , , , ,
Israel’s consistent attacks on Iran since 2023 have all been illegal, violations of the United Nations Charter (1945). Iran is a member state of the United Nations and is therefore a sovereign state in the international order. If Israel had a problem with Iran, there are many mechanisms mandated by international law that permit Israel to bring complaints against Iran. Thus far, Israel has avoided these international forums because it is clear that it has no case against Iran. Allegations that Iran is building a nuclear weapon, which are constantly raised by the United States, the European Union, and Israel, have been fully investigated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and found to be unfounded.

The Folly Of A War With Iran

June 15, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
The neoconservatives who orchestrated the disastrous wars with Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya — and who were never held accountable for the profligate waste of $8 trillion taxpayer dollars, as well as $69 billion squandered in Ukraine — look set to lure us into yet another military fiasco with Iran. Iran is not Iraq. Iran is not Afghanistan. Iran is not Lebanon. Iran is not Libya. Iran is not Syria. Iran is not Yemen. Iran is the seventeenth largest country in the world, with a land mass equivalent to the size of Western Europe. It has a population of almost 90 million — 10 times greater than Israel — and its military resources, as well as alliances with China and Russia, make it a formidable opponent.

‘Satanic acts’: Iran’s Dr. Foad Izadi on Israel’s New Regime Change War

June 15, 2025 Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. , , , ,
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Dr. Foad Izadi, professor of world politics at the University of Tehran, amid Israeli airstrikes on Iran which assassinated nuclear scientists and military officials while killing many civilians. As one of his country's most prolific political commentators, Izadi critiques the Iranian president's diplomacy with the US, Trump's perfidious actions, and the mood of Iranian society.

Iran Will Not Stop Strikes Until US-Backed Israeli War Ends

June 15, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on 15 June that Iran will not end its strikes against Israel until the US-backed Israeli war against the country is halted. “We are defending ourselves; our defense is entirely legitimate,” the foreign minister said. “This defense is our response to aggression. If the aggression stops, naturally our responses will also stop,” he added. Araghchi condemned the Israeli attack on Iran’s offshore South Pars gas field on Saturday night, warning that “dragging the conflict to the Persian Gulf is a strategic mistake, and its aim is to drag the war beyond Iranian territory.”

Israel Started A War With Iran, But It Doesn’t Know How It Ends

June 14, 2025 Abdaljawad Omar, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
The war between Israel and Iran marks the culmination of decades of shadow-boxing between Tehran and Tel Aviv. This is a war that has long worn the mask of deniability, played out in assassinations, cyber operations, and various forms of entanglements from Damascus to the Red Sea. Its rules were unwritten but widely understood: escalation without full rupture. But now it’s unfolding in a surprise Israeli intelligence and military attack, which was met with a subsequent Iranian retaliation against Israeli military installations and strategic infrastructure. While Israel’s capacity for precise targeting — its assassinations of nuclear scientists, the killing of Iranian commanders, and its strikes on enrichment sites — has rarely been in doubt, its broader strategic horizon remains conspicuously blurred.

Pentagon Head Hegseth: ‘We Are Preparing For War’ With China ‘Threat’

June 9, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered an extremely hawkish speech in which he demonized China as a “threat” and said, “We are preparing for war”. “Those who long for peace, must prepare for war. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. We are preparing for war, in order to deter war — to achieve peace through strength”, Hegseth stated. The top Donald Trump administration official made these aggressive remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue 2025, a summit held in Singapore on 31 May. “The threat China poses is real, and it could be imminent. We hope not, but it certainly could be”, Hegseth claimed, indicating that the Pentagon was preparing for a war over Taiwan.

Kémi Séba: Imperialist Nations, Not Haiti’s ‘Gangs,’ Are The Enemy

June 8, 2025 Isabelle Papillon, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Famed Pan-African activist, journalist, and author, Kémi Séba, landed in Haiti on May 28, creating a political tsunami through press conferences, interviews, and speeches over the past week by repeatedly emphasizing four principal points. ​First, the imperialist nations, primarily the United States and France, are the principal enemies of the Haitian people and the source of their current crisis, although posturing as their savior and friend. ​Second, Haiti’s neighborhood armed groups have been demonized, largely through imperialist propaganda, and are not the people’s enemy. On the contrary, greater unity between the armed groups and the people is key to liberating the country.

Ukraine Terrorism And The Question Of US Involvement

“Who is in charge in Washington? Is it the white house or the pentagon? . . . It was quite significant and not accidental that it (the attack) happened just two days before the Russian-American arrangements were supposed to come into full force” - Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, 2016 “The American bombing of Syrian soldiers was no ‘mistake’ – it was a mutiny by the War Party in the U.S. military and government, who want victory for the jihadists.” - Black Agenda Report Executive Editor Glen Ford On September 17, 2016 United States forces bombed Syrian army positions in the Deir al-Zour region of that country and killed more than 60 Syrian soldiers.

The United States Drive To War On China

June 7, 2025 Carlos Martinez, Friends of Socialist China. , , , ,
The US-led ‘cold’ war against China is manifestly failing in its objectives of suppressing China’s rise and weakening its global influence. China’s economy continues to grow steadily. In purchasing power parity (PPP) terms, it is by now the largest in the world. Its mobilisation of extraordinary resources to break out of underdevelopment and become a science and technology superpower appears to be paying substantial dividends, with the country establishing a clear lead globally in renewable energy, electric vehicles, telecommunications, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure construction and more.

Global Network Statement On Golden Dome

June 6, 2025 Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. , , , ,
Trump calls it a ‘layered defense shield, safeguarding the American homeland with unwavering precision, ensuring the security and resilience of our nation’. Trump shared few specifics in the May 20 news conference, saying “Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides of the world and even if they are launched from space.” Early cost estimates from Congressional sources range from $550 billion to trillions over 20 years. Trump wants a $25 billion down payment for the program in 2025. Canada is being brought into Golden Dome likely to help pay for it. We should expect that NATO members will also be hit up to help cover the massive costs.

Washington’s ‘Golden Dome’ – Multi-Trillion Tax Dollar Heist At Best

June 5, 2025 Brian Berletic, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
During President Trump’s announcement on May 21, 2025, it was claimed the Golden Dome will consist of technology deployed across land, sea, and space capable of intercepting hypersonic, ballistic, and advanced cruise missiles, “even if they are launched from other sides of the world and even if they are launched from space.” Former-US President Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” program (also known as the Strategic Defense Initiative) was repeatedly cited during the announcement. That program sought to use space-based weapons to void the doctrine of “mutually assured destruction” allowing the US to conduct a nuclear or non-nuclear first strike on another nation and avoid what had otherwise been an inevitable nuclear retaliation that would destroy both nations in the process.

JD Vance Announces New Strategy Of Blatant Imperialism, Aimed At China

June 4, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , ,
US Vice President JD Vance has announced what he calls a “new era” in military strategy. “What we are seeing from President Trump is a generational shift in [foreign] policy”, he claimed. The Donald Trump administration is abandoning the US government’s previous emphasis on soft power, Vance explained, and is instead focusing on “hard power” and “overwhelming force”, in a return to blatant, 19th century-style imperialism. According to Vance, Washington’s top priority is now “great power competition”, and preparation for potential war with China. The vice president laid this out in a speech at the commissioning ceremony of the US Naval Academy on 23 May.

Government Of Haiti Signs Security Agreement With Erik Prince

June 3, 2025 Telesur, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
The Haitian government formalized an agreement with Erik Prince, founder of the mercenary organization Blackwater/Academi and a donor and ally of US President Donald Trump, to carry out security operations against armed groups besieging the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, according to a report by The New York Times (NYT). Since March, Prince’s team has been operating drones that reportedly caused the death of more than 200 people in Haiti. However, there is no news about the capture of any “gang leaders.” Prince’s plan is to recruit Haitian-American military veterans and deploy up to 150 mercenaries this summer. In addition, a large shipment of weapons is reportedly being sent from the United States to Haiti.

Six Years Of Dashed Hopes For Peace And Reconciliation In Ukraine

June 2, 2025 Dmitri Kovalevich, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Six years ago, on May 20, 2019, Ukraine inaugurated a new president who had defeated by a large margin the incumbent Petro Poroshenko, elected in May 2014. That election occurred barely three months following the coup that ousted Ukraine’s elected and constitutional president, Viktor Yanukovych, and its national legislature. Poroshenko is one of the richest men in Ukraine. His five-year presidential term firmly placed Ukraine on the global map as a hostile, ‘anti-Russia’ at the service of the Western powers. Following the 2019 election campaign, the candidate who became president, Volodomyr Zelensky, continued the radical, ethnic nationalism of his predecessor, Poroshenko, even though Zelensky’s election campaign had deceptively suggested that he would end the bloody civil war being waged by Kiev against the people of Donbass since 2014.
