    How MI6 Laid Iran War’s Foundations

    Tuesday, 3 March 2026 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    In the weeks leading up to the Empire’s catastrophic decision to instigate war against Iran, negotiations between Tehran and Washington were intensively ongoing. The Islamic Republic was ordered to accept sharp limits on her ability to develop ballistic and hypersonic missiles, and agree to never stockpile enriched uranium. The former stipulation was a significant sticking point, for such restrictions would gravely undermine Iran’s national and regional security architecture. However, Tehran was intensely relaxed about ceding the latter.

    Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to defend itself from attacks by US forces in the West Asia, the Washington Post reported on 6 March, citing three officials familiar with the intelligence.

    Day 7: US Capabilities Strained, Iran’s Defense Continues + US is not Fighting Iran “For Israel”

    Thursday, 5 March 2026 — The New Atlas

    • US-led air and missile strikes continue across Iran while Iran continues region-wide missile and drones strikes including on high-value US targets;
    • Both sides face ticking clocks including Iran’s supply of missiles and launchers and the resilience of its “mosaic” defense strategy and America’s missile inventories as well as maintenance walls its aircraft will reach by the end of the month;
    • Victory for the US requires toppling the Iranian government;
    • The US would also settle for a temporary pause to reorganize and attempt another round of aggression;
    • Victory for Iran in at least this phase of the war is simply surviving;
    • US objectives for this conflict are focused on eliminating a Russian/Chinese ally, cutting China off from oil in the region, and allowing the US to consolidate resources toward encircling Russia and China themselves;

    Anthropic is already at war

    Thursday, 5 March 2026 — Struggle / La Lucha

    Gary Wilson
    Pentagon
    The Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia. Anthropic’s AI models were embedded in CENTCOM’s targeting infrastructure before the first bomb fell on Iran.

    The U.S. military did not drop a single bomb on Iran without first running the target through an algorithm.

    That is not a metaphor. When the Pentagon launched Operation Epic Fury on February 28, 2026, the strikes against Iranian military and leadership sites were processed, cross-referenced, and justified by artificial intelligence systems leased from Silicon Valley corporations.

    Nate Bear

    As the US-Israel axis of Epstein continues its genocidal campaign of carpet bombing Tehran, huge crowds of people have flooded the streets of the country to protest the attacks and defend the revolution.

    And they’re angry.

    Moving Parts: Current and Imminent Government plans for your medical records

    Thursday, 5 March 2026 — medConfidential’ s Substack

    It’s been a busy few week behind the scenes.

    Government is gearing up for a bunch of announcements about taking your medical record and doing what they want with them – there are many moving parts.

    To inform future pieces, we’ve published a long piece on many of those moving parts (not all, because we keep some surprises as surprises).

    HDRUK, Biobank, and Mr Streeting may argue that privacy doesn’t matter, and they and their cronies should be able to do whatever they want with data without consequence. They use that argument now to break pandemic-only promises, then it’ll be imposing Palantir, and then taking away what rights you do have. Mr Streeting is implementing what he learnt from his political mentor, Mr Mandelson.

    We’ll see about that – and perhaps this government will change course when it realises it has done something unwise.

    You can read it all on the medConfidential website.

    How US Aggression Against Iran is Weaponizing Energy Markets Against the Working Class

    The US-Israeli imperialist assault on Iran, launched on February 28, 2026, has immediately exposed the parasitic relationship between monopoly capital and military aggression. Within days of the attack, Brent crude surged 15%, wiping out all the energy cost “victories” Trump had claimed since his January inauguration.

    European nations are joining the United States and Israel in their war on Iran. From providing economic and diplomatic support, to supplying military assistance to Washington, Europe is moving from a passive supporter to an active participant in the campaign to overthrow the Iranian government.

    Iran STRIKES CIA, Destroys THADD: Has Trump LOST the War? | Mohammad Marandi & Pepe Escobar

    Wednesday, 4 March 2026 — Danny Haiphong

    Iran’s strikes are getting more significant with reports of a direct hit on a THADD battery and a CIA base station in Saudi Arabia exposes depleted U.S. air defenses. Mohammad Marandi and Pepe Escobar join the show to discuss the latest updates in this war, who has the upper hand, and what impact is it having on the geopolitical landscape.

    Iran and the Psychopathology of White Supremacy

    Wednesday, 4 March 2026 — Internationalist 360°

    ​​​​​​​ Ajamu Baraka

    Pete HegsethDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine speak during a news conference at the Pentagon.

    Western threats against Iran reveal an imperial psychology unable to accept a multipolar world.

    The sincere belief that the sadistic brutalization of the Palestinian people would sever their connection to their land; that a sixty-year siege on Cuba would compel its people to abandon their revolution; or that assassinating Iran’s revolutionary and spiritual leadership would force the country to surrender its sovereignty to its historic tormentors in the United States and the Zionist ethno-state of Israel—these are not simply policy miscalculations. They are manifestations of what I call the psychopathology of white supremacy.

    The timing of the US-Israeli attack on Iran “literally could not be worse” for the fertilizer industry, StoneX Group brokerage VP Josh Linville told Bloomberg, alluding to the imminent start of the Northern Hemisphere’s growing season, and problems shortages of the key farming ingredient could cause.

    Here’s what’s at stake if US-Israeli aggression continues:

    Commenting last week on the build-up of US military forces targeting Iran, Robert A. Pape, Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago,  got it right:

    ‘This represents 40-50% of the deployable US air power in the world. Think air power on the order of the 1991 and 2003 Iraq war. And growing. Never has the US deployed this much force against a potential enemy and not launched strikes.’

    Wednesday, 4 March 2026 — Liberation News Network

    The lessons that Lenin started to teach us in 1916 can guide our understanding of the latest market crash

    The financial press has a thesaurus of euphemisms for systemic failure. “Market volatility.” “Geopolitical risk.” “Risk-off sentiment.”

    What they won’t print: Imperialism is eating itself alive, and Asian workers are paying for the meal.
