What Netanyahu is Threatening is Not Nuclear — It May Well Be Worse
10 March 2026 — Avigail Abarbanel’s Fully Human Essays
Itamar Ben-Gvir X Account On 10 March 2026, retired US Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson — former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell — gave an interview to Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! Wilkerson spent decades inside the machinery of American military power and has been reckoning publicly with its crimes since at least 2003. He is someone worth listening to, especially since he is also a compassionate man who has had many years to reflect on his own contribution to the war crimes the US committed during his time in the military.

Cuba is currently facing a serious situation as a result of the intensification of the criminal U.S. blockade. What is the atmosphere like on the island, what mood do you sense among the people, and what has been the reaction of the government and the people to this new imperialist onslaught?

The Long Revolution: Why Iran’s Struggle Did Not End in 1979
Tuesday, 24 March 2026 — Liberation News Network
On the extended duration of revolutionary transformation and the imperialist assault on the Islamic Republic
The bourgeois education system misleads us into conceiving of revolution as a single, spectacular event—a date on the calendar, a barricade in the street, a monarch fleeing his palace. The English Revolution becomes 1642 and 1688. The French Revolution shrinks to 1789 and the fall of the Bastille. The American Revolution is reduced to 1776 and the subsequent war of independence against the British. The Russian Revolution is reduced to October 1917. This is not merely historical simplification; it is deliberate ideological mystification, designed to obscure the truth that revolutions are processes, not moments—extended transformations that frequently span generations before their fundamental contradictions are resolved.

The Heat: Middle East Conflict | US delays strikes on Iran’s energy
Tuesday, 24 March 2026 — CGTN
The United States backs down after threatening to attack Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure. US President Donald Trump said Washington and Tehran have had constructive conversations and announced a five-day delay on any planned attacks.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry pushed back, denying any direct dialogue with the US and suggested the announcement is aimed at calming rattled energy markets.
So whose narrative holds up? Mohammad Marandi, a professor of literature and orientalism at the University of Tehran and a former adviser to Iran’s nuclear negotiation team, and Pepe Escobar, a Eurasia-wide geopolitical analyst, author and editor-at-Large at Asia Times, join CGTN to give their insights on the current state of Middle East tensions.

Strait Of Hormuz Closure Brings Empire To Brink
Tuesday, 24 March 2026 — Global Delinquents
Since the criminal Zionist-American war on Iran erupted, the Strait of Hormuz has remained stubbornly closed. Despite Donald Trump’s dire threats, Tehran has brought maritime traffic to a total standstill. The Empire has futilely scrambled to assemble an international coalition to reopen the economically vital waterway ever since, only to be rebuffed. NATO allies have been slammed for making a “foolish mistake”, by refusing to help militarily secure the Strait. In truth, there is no hope it can be forcibly reopened in the foreseeable future.

Professor Marandi on Gulf states: ‘Their only solution is to force the US to back down’
23 March 2026 — Al Mayadeen English
In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi clarified that the United States “is being utterly ignorant in its confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the axis of resistance.”
He explained that Iran and the Axis of Resistance have not yet begun escalation and did not initiate the war, but have been trying to prevent the region from being destroyed.
Gulf states in the region, Marandi says, miscalculated by underestimating the Axis of Resistance and overestimating the US, and warned them that their only solution is to back down and force the United States to leave.

A “Black Spot” for the West: The World on the Brink of Global Shia Jihad After the Killing of Khamenei
Tuesday, 24 March 2026 — New Eastern Outlook
The assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the U.S.-Israeli operation “Epic Fury” has become the point of no return.
The conflict has transcended the boundaries of a geopolitical confrontation and taken on the characteristics of a religious war. Iran’s three grand ayatollahs have already declared jihad, and in March 2026, the question is not whether the “Shia fire” will ignite, but whether the West will have time to evacuate its citizens from the blazing Middle East.

Trump Talks
Monday, 23 March 2026 — Al Mayadeen English
US President Donald Trump claimed that the United States and Iran have engaged in what he described as “very good and productive” discussions over the past two days.
In a post on TruthSocial, Trump said the talks were “in-depth, detailed, and constructive,” and are expected to continue throughout the week.
Trump said that in accordance with these talks, he has instructed the US Department of War to postpone all planned military strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a period of five days.
The pause, according to Trump, is conditional on the progress of the “ongoing meetings”, signaling that an aggression on Iran’s civilian energy infrastructure remains a possibility.
Trump had threatened Iran with strikes against its power infrastructure on Saturday, prompting Tehran to retaliate with threats to the power infrastructure feeding US bases and “Israel”.
The Iranian position on the Strait of Hormuz remains unchanged; the Strait is open to non-hostile nations who have not participated in attacks against Iran.

Donald Trump Sits in His Own Trap: Can He Win in Cuba?
Monday, 23 March 2026 — Vijay Prashad
Boyish Imperialism
Every week, I have an assessment from the Planet of Hyper-imperialism in Peoples Democracy. This week, it is on Trump and Cuba. Please read it below, but also read the paper weekly!
Donald Trump likes to win. He made that clear in his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, where he writes about how he likes to ‘think big’ and ‘win big’. What Trump dislikes is a ‘loser’, a word that he uses frequently in The Art of the Deal, and which he deploys in his conversations to mark the character of people he dislikes. In recent years, it has meant everything to Trump that he wins elections (his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 rattled him so much that he refused to accept the result). But this year, Trump has focused his attention on achieving victory in something that he promised to avoid: wars.

American Theocracy Revisited: Oil, Empire, and the Gospel of Decline
Sunday, 22 March 2026 — Weaponized Information
A dissection of how energy dependence, apocalyptic politics, and debt-fueled capitalism fused into a governing logic of U.S. power—and why, nearly two decades later, the contradictions Phillips identified have not resolved but intensified under the pressures of imperial decline and global realignment.

The EU Geopolitical Reality
Sunday, 22 March 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy
Background
I hesitated to write this, as the EU is not a nation but a grouping of nations, but the dominance of the EU bureaucracy over the constituent nations has progressed considerably (backed up with NATO of course) together with the EU being dominated by its largest and tightly aligned members; Germany, France, Italy and Poland. Of the larger nations, only Spain stands out as having somewhat of an independent alignment, but that is offset by the heft of the other large members. And the latter are also supported by Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Austria, the Baltics, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Romania (after the local vassals aligned with the EU and NATO elites in stealing the election for president). Only Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia stand in opposition to EU foreign policy against Russia, and Spain with respect to the Middle East. Let’s remember that the European security forces are very fully integrated with the US security services, and US troops occupy Germany (36,000) and Italy (12,600).

US War on Iran & the Wider Dirty War on China: US/Ukrainian Mercenaries In Myanmar
Sunday, 22 March 2026 — The New Atlas
- While the US attack on Iran throttles energy production and exports to China, following the cutting of energy exports from Venezuela to China in a war earlier this year, and years of attacking Russian energy production via Ukraine, US-backed militants in Myanmar are attacking pipelines leading directly into China;
- A US citizen and several Ukrainians were caught bringing in large numbers of combat drones to fight the central Myanmar government and attack key infrastructure across the country including Belt and Road Initiative projects;
- Zooming out from any one of these conflicts reveals a global US war and proxy war as well as a developing global oil blockade against China;
