Metabolic Rifts: Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System
Thursday, 26 March 2026 — Climate & Capitalism
“A stunning investigation of our ecological crisis … an urgent and indispensable book.”
Click cover for availability from online booksellers
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.

Wednesday, 25 March 2026 — Palestine Will Be Free
Still not old enough to form words, let alone understand the horrors he was subjected to, Jawad could only say the Arabic word for blood when asked what had happened to him.
In one of the most harrowing cases of abuse in an unending list of harrowing abuses, the Israeli occupation forces tortured a 22-month-old child to pressure his father into false confessions in central Gaza on March 19.

The silent axis: Why Iran isn’t using its allies
Wednesday, 25 Marchh 2026 — RT
Why Tehran is holding its fire and how its restraint is reshaping the battlefield
By Farhad Ibragimov – lecturer at the Faculty of Economics at RUDN University, expert and lecturer at the Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences and Mass Communications, Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
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?

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.

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.
