Video: “Political Theater”: Trump’s Attack against Iran

Posted by: John Phoenix [This video production was first published by Global Research. You may watch it here.] Trump’s “Operation Midnight Hammer” attack on June 22, 2025 against Iran’s nuclear facilities involved the dispatch of B-2 aircraft out of the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. This complex and improvised Operation was under the auspices of US Central Command (USCENTCOM), based in Florida, in close coordination with US Strategic Command (USSTRACOM) in Omaha, Nebraska. This program aims to analyze how “Operation Midnight Hammer” was conducted, as well as the motivation behind it and whether it was as successful as touted by President Donald Trump. *** Click the hyperlinks below and forward the video directly to your friends worldwi...

Iran vs. ‘Israel’: return of the ‘Spider Web’ theory

Posted by: John Phoenix Iran vs. Israel: return of the 'Spider Web' theory Iran scored a political and psychological victory against Israel, but failed to achieve deterrence.

During his speech proclaiming victory over the Israeli occupiers, the late Hezbollah General Secretary argued that because of its colonial nature, Jewish Israeli society would fracture under sustained military pressure, forcing serious concessions from its elite in order to...

Why America is at War With Iran

Posted by: John Phoenix Photograph Source: Anthony Crider – CC BY 2.0 The Neocon logic for needing to defeat Iran and break it into ethnic parts Opponents of the war with Iran say that the war is not in American interests, seeing that Iran does not pose any visible threat to the United States. This appeal to reason misses the Neocon logic that has guided U.S. foreign policy for more than a half century, and which is now threatening to engulf the Middle East in the most violent war since Korea. That logic is so aggressive, so repugnant to most people, so much in violation of the basic principles of international law, the United Nations and the U.S. Constitution, that there is an understandable shyness in the authors of this strategy to spell out what is at stake. What ...

Calls for Impeachment Grow as Trump Floats ‘Regime Change’ in Iran

People rally in Times Square calling for the Trump administration not to go to war with Iran, on June 18, 2025 in New York City. (Photo: Adam Gray/Getty Images) Posted by: John Phoenix The striking of Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval, said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, "is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment." As U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media on Sunday night to express that regime is on the table for Iran's government, the call from Democratic lawmakers and outside progressive voices for his impeachment continued to grow following the weekend bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. "It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,'" Trump posted on Sunday night on Truth Social, one day a...

Nazi entity is luring the US into a trap

Posted by: John Phoenix United States President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hold a joint press conference in Washington, D.C., United States on February 04, 2025. (Celal Güneş – Anadolu Agency) The nuclear issue was never the main motivation behind the attack on Iran. We follow Netanyahu at our peril. by Paul R. Pillar, reposted from Responsible Statecraft, June 20, 2025 Joining in Israel’s aggression against Iran [will] hurt, not advance, U.S. interests and international security. This should not be surprising, given that support for U.S. interests and international security was not what led to Israel’s launching of the war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argues that Iran’s nuclear program poses a t...

War With Iran – Read by Eunice Wong

Posted by: John Phoenix War opens a Pandora’s box of evils that once unleashed are beyond anyone’s control. The warmongers who ordered the strikes by U.S. bombers on Iranian nuclear sites have no more of a plan for what comes next in Iran than they had in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya or Syria. European allies, whom Israel and Trump have alienated with these air assaults, are in no mood to cooperate with Washington. The Pentagon, even if it wanted to, does not have the hundreds of thousands of troops it would need to attack and occupy Iran -- the only way Iran might be subdued. And the idea that the marginal and discredited Iranian resistance group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), which fought alongside Saddam Hussein in the war against Iran and is viewed by most Iranians as composed o...

Stalin’s Library by Geoffrey Roberts – a resumé and review – Part 2

Posted by: John Phoenix We continue Harpal Brar’s review of Geoffrey Roberts’ book on Stalin’s library, as Harpal had completed it in full before he died in January this year after only one instalment had been published (in the January/February issue). Space did not allow for continuation in the March/April issue, but we are now delighted to be able to continue the serialisation of this interesting work which will run to several parts. Stalin at work while in exile As he spent several years in exile, and opportunities for political activity were limited, it provided him with plenty of time for study. He spent much time in local libraries. In February 1912 he disappeared from his lodgings in Vologda (northern Russia), leaving behind his books on a variety of...

Duterte and the farce of international justice

Posted by: John Phoenix The recent arrest of former Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte has been hailed by various liberals as a triumph for international justice. Duterte is to stand trial at the International Criminal Court on charges related to the Filipino drug war and the allegation that he was responsible for the deaths of up to seven thousand people accused of being drug addicts and/or drug dealers. Duterte was handed over to the ICC by his successor Ferdinand Marcos Junior, the son of the former long-time dictator and key US ally who was overthrown by a popular revolt in 1986. Duterte’s arrest and deportation is nothing to be celebrated, however, and should be understood more properly as another move being made by the imperialists to maintain their control over the Phili...

From containment to confrontation, from cold to hot: the US drive to war on China

Posted by: John Phoenix 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. It is by far the global leader in poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Sanctions on semiconductor exports have not slowed down China’s progress ...
