The first time I saw a tank was on the streets of Sancti Spíritus, the city in the center of the island where I was born. It was April 1975, and with the fall of Saigon, Vietnam’s victory was being celebrated after nearly 20 years of U.S. aggression. My child’s eyes do not remember that World War II steel behemoth as a threat, but rather as an early lesson that, in Cuba, even the triumphs and sorrows of other peoples are also experienced as a warning.

One can only hope that the accounts collected in Displaced in Gaza: Stories from the Gaza Genocide will be introduced one day as evidence in international courts to convict the Israeli government and military personnel responsible for the crimes depicted in this book.

Shanaka Anslem Perera proposes seven clocks that are ticking with respect to the US war of aggression upon Iran. Below I look at these seven clocks, some are correct, some are incomplete, and some show some basic ignorance. Maybe there are more than seven?

Burdened by decades of neocolonialism and corruption, Senegal faces an all-too-familiar dilemma faced by countries across the Global South: how to pursue sovereign development under the weight of debt.

“A stunning investigation of our ecological crisis … an urgent and indispensable book.”

Like an autoimmune disease that attacks the body it dwells in, capitalism is tearing apart the very planet that feeds it. Metabolic Rifts: Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System (Monthly Review Press) builds on Karl Marx’s insight that while capitalism is dependent on the natural world, it is also waging war on the natural systems that sustain life on Earth.
Focusing on deadly rifts in the most important natural systems, Ian Angus explains and elaborates on the Marxist view that capitalism is massively disrupting essential exchanges of matter and energy between society and the rest of nature, putting the entire Earth System in danger. After tracing the long-neglected history of metabolic rift theory in scientific and socialist writing, Angus draws on a wealth of modern research to extend and deepen the natural science basis of Marxist ecology.
In clear, non-technical language, Metabolic Rifts offers a scientific basis for understanding the deep causes of today’s environmental crises, and a program for action to prevent catastrophe in our time.

US aggression against Iran has persisted for over three weeks now. Throughout this time, Tehran has acted largely on its own, without mobilizing allied forces. This raises a crucial question: what’s going on with the so-called Axis of Resistance – the extensive network of Iranian allies that took decades and billions of dollars to establish?

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 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 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.

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.
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.
