Iran
When Our Word is No Longer Good
The pattern of media reports – based on White House leaks – that an agreement with Iran is almost completed has become predictable. Where once the markets fluctuated wildly (and some insiders made huge profits with the information), each time we hear that the deal is...
House Leadership Delays Vote on Ending the Iran War
The Iran War has been unpopular among Americans since the beginning. Now it has reached the point where it appears it would be voted down in the Republican-majority United States House of Representatives — if House leadership would just allow a floor vote on the...
Lindsey Graham’s ‘Circle of Death’
The senator from South Carolina has taken an idea from the Zionist playbook. It’s called the “Circle of Death.” In Gaza, the Zionists use yellow lines. The lines are invisible and when hapless Palestinians—men, women, children—straggle across it, the IDF murders them....
The President Who Cries War, then Peace, Then War
The lad who inspired Aesop to write, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” (also known as “The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf”), has grown up and is now President of the United States. Since February 28, 2026, Donald Trump has released 11 statements suggesting the war with Iran was...
The Real Cost Of The Iran War
Israel’s ‘War to the Root’ May Unravel America
Both Trump’s Iran war and the closely connected Israeli war for Jewish hegemony across the Middle East (termed “Permanent Security” in Israeli military vernacular) are unravelling fast. Iran is standing defiant in the face of Trump and Israel’s threats, leaving Trump...
Tucker Carlson A ‘Domestic Terrorist’?
‘Ways of War’ are in Metamorphosis: Lessons from the Iran War
Although the Iran war largely has been viewed through the lens of conventional western warfare, its lessons are anything but conventional. They are in fact insurrectionary. The post-war western approach (especially in the Cold War context) relied on the ability...
US Has Lost In Iran. Now Comes The Pain.
More Complications Arise In the Trump Universe
The top story last week, at least in terms of shock value, might well be the ongoing saga of the Trump White House ballroom, which started out as a $200 million development off of the building’s East Wing accommodating 300 guests and completely paid for by private...
Trump Going Back To Failed ‘Project Freedom’?
The Gulf Separating the US and Iran is Too Wide to Bridge
As I pointed out in my last article, someone in the Trump administration who has been briefed on Trump’s upcoming statements about the war in Iran made a financial killing yesterday. This is part of a continuing pattern of deliberate deception by Trump, i.e.,...
The Staggering Cost Of The Iran War
‘Project Freedom’ Or ‘Project Market Manipulation’?
Danger of a World Catastrophe
The very first story on the Drudge Report on both April 23 and 24 was headlined with a quote from Bernard Arnault saying if the Iran war was not quickly settled, it could be a “world catastrophe.” I apparently do not keep up with world business as much as I should,...
Hegseth Claims We’re In A Different War With Iran
Trump Strikes Out Again
On Friday, Donald Trump was at it again. He posted on Truth Social a photoshopped picture of his face next to those of the four earlier presidents carved in stone on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. At least he was grinning, not displaying his usual...
House Majority Leader Insists the Price of Gas is Low
In his February 24 State of the Union Speech, United States President Donald Trump claimed gas prices in America were much lower than they actually were. This was part of Trump’s effort to claim credit for an asserted vastly improved economy. Several days later, the...
The Bogus Blockade Claim of the US Department of War
Pete Hegseth is lying about the US blockade of Iranian ports. On April 12, after JD Vance announced that talks with Iran had failed, Trump declared a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas. CENTCOM clarified that the blockade would be enforced against...
