Iran Is Not a Major Sponsor of Terrorism, Not Even Close
by Larry C. Johnson | May 16, 2019 | Featured Articles

Iraq Déjà Vu with Iran
by Jacob G. Hornberger | May 15, 2019 | Featured Articles
Given US National-Security Advisor John Bolton’s war-provoking antics with Iran, I’m getting that déjà vu feeling with how President George W. Bush and his team of interventionists took the US to war with Iraq. Of course, the first question that naturally arises is:...

Pompeo Skips Moscow Trip To Pressure EU Officials In Brussels On Iran
by Tyler Durden | May 13, 2019 | Featured Articles

Iran and the Fairy Tale Atomic Bomb
by Kurt Nimmo | May 12, 2019 | Featured Articles

Bomb Iran Half Way Back to the Stone Age
by Eric Margolis | May 11, 2019 | Featured Articles
Is it just a coincidence that TV networks are re-running old “Dirty Harry” films just as a powerful US Naval armada and Air Force B-52 bombers are headed for what could be a clash with Iran? Here we go again with the “good guys” versus the “bad guys,” and “make my...
The War Tweets
by Kurt Nimmo | May 10, 2019 | Featured Articles

by Douglas Macgregor | May 9, 2019 | Featured Articles

Pandering to Israel Means War With Iran
by Philip Giraldi | May 9, 2019 | Featured Articles

Obama Spied on Other Republicans and Democrats As Well
by Larry C. Johnson | May 8, 2019 | Featured Articles

D Is for a Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy
by John W. Whitehead | May 7, 2019 | Featured Articles
