Talks, Then Bombs: Is Washington Rehearsing the Same Trap on Iran?

Posted by: John Phoenix As the US-led war on Iran expands, questions are mounting about Washington’s strategy and ultimate objectives. (Design: Palestine Chronicle) By Ramzy Baroud & Romana Rubeo Trump’s record suggests a different interpretation—one in which diplomatic language serves as a tactical cover rather than a strategic shift. US President Donald Trump did not invent the phrase “fake news,” but he undoubtedly transformed it into a political weapon, relentlessly accusing critical media of fabricating unfavorable narratives. The deeper irony, however, is harder to dismiss. Trump himself has exhibited a persistent disregard for factual consistency. Whether he believes his own claims is ultimately beside the point; what matters is that his record has ero...

Chagos, Iran and the new era of naked imperialism

Posted by: John Phoenix On 18 February 2026, the day before his first ‘Board of Peace’ meeting in Washington, Trump announced – by Truth Social Post – that he no longer supports the Chagos Island deal made between Mauritius and Britain. By providing yet more evidence that the Anglo-American imperialists are deal incapable, the issue of the cyclopean US military base, located in British territory, at the centre of the Indian Ocean cuts to the heart of imperial history, inter-imperial power relations, and the degree to which they are unravelling. What are the Chagos islands – and why do they matter? The Dutch colonised Mauritius and turned it into a sugar cane plantation in the 17th century (naming it after their prince, Maurice of Orange). The French later took possession ...

OBITUARY- Comrade Sitaram Yechury

He also edited the CPM’s theoretical journal, Marxism.

OBITUARY – Hassan Nasrallah

Posted by: John Phoenix The whole of progressive humanity is mourning the death of Hassan Nasrallah, a brilliant and intrepid fighter against imperialism, who led the organisation of which he was General Secretary – Hezbollah – as it stood indomitable and often alone in the Arab world in mounting armed resistance to Israel, the racist colonial state imposed and maintained by Western imperialism on the Middle East. A deeply religious Shia Muslim, Nasrallah first came into politics to struggle against the marginalisation of the Shia community in Lebanon. In the Lebanese civil war between Christian Maronites and Muslims, he joined and fought with Amal (the Movement of the Deprived) that had been founded in 1974 by his mentor Sadr. In 1982 Israel invaded Lebanon with a view t...

OBITUARY- Ismail Haniyeh (1963-2024)

Posted by: John Phoenix On 31 July 2024 Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, was murdered, along with one of his bodyguards, by Israel by means of a 2 a.m. “airborne guided projectile” strike on a special residence for military veterans in the north of Tehran where he was staying during the inauguration of Iran’s President Pezeshkian. Haniyeh’s whole life had been dedicated to the struggle of the Palestinian people against the injustice of having their land stolen from them, robbing the vast majority of them also from the life opportunities that they might otherwise have expected to have had. He himself was a son of Palestinians driven out from their home in the coastal city of Ashkelon, in what is now Israel, during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. He was born 1...
