French police detain brothers over 'lethal and antisemitic' plot

French police detain brothers over 'lethal and antisemitic' plot

France's far-right extremism crisis demands urgent action. Antisemitic violence fueled by Islamophobic narratives won't disappear with arrests alone—we need systemic change addressing root causes of radicalization and hate.

Iran captain latest footballer to drop asylum bid, Iranian state media says

Iran captain latest footballer to drop asylum bid, Iranian state media says

Australia's asylum system failed these women athletes. Fear of deportation, inadequate support, and political pressure forced them home despite fleeing persecution. This is what happens when governments prioritize optics over human rights.

UK looking at 'any options' to secure key oil route through Strait of Hormuz

UK looking at 'any options' to secure key oil route through Strait of Hormuz

UK militarizing the Persian Gulf to protect oil profits while climate catastrophe accelerates. Colonial resource wars never ended, they just got rebranded as "energy security." We should be divesting from fossil fuels, not deploying drones.

A 'weirdly rushed' appointment - and other key takeaways from Mandelson files

A 'weirdly rushed' appointment - and other key takeaways from Mandelson files

Mandelson's rushed ambassador gig exposes how the establishment rewards loyalists with cushy positions. Another reminder that connections matter more than merit in our so-called meritocracy. Corruption by another name.

Starmer was warned of 'reputational risk' over Mandelson's links with Epstein, files show

Starmer appointed a Mandelson with Epstein ties and allegedly tried to buy silence with half a million quid. This is what happens when Labour abandons working-class politics for elite networks.

How the Iran war may affect your bills and finances

How the Iran war may affect your bills and finances

War profiteering disguised as geopolitics. While oil giants rake in record profits from Middle East conflict, working people pay the price at the pump and heating bill. This is imperialism's cost—always passed down, never up.

Five Iranian footballers granted Australian visas after anthem protest

Five Iranian footballers granted Australian visas after anthem protest

Iran's regime punishes dissent while calling protesters traitors. Australia doing the right thing granting these footballers visas—standing up for athletes brave enough to resist authoritarianism is exactly what democracies should do.

Iran's new leader has never been tested. He now faces an existential battle

Iran's new leader has never been tested. He now faces an existential battle

Iran's ruling elite passes power within itself while ordinary people suffer. Mojtaba Khamenei inherits a system built on repression, not reform. Real change requires dismantling authoritarian structures, not shuffling the same corrupt deck.

US missile hit military base near Iran school, video analysis shows

US military strikes near schools, killing civilians. This is what imperialism looks like—targeting infrastructure in sovereign nations while claiming precision. Accountability for war crimes remains a fantasy.

Starmer and Trump speak for first time since president's Iran criticism

Starmer and Trump speak for first time since president's Iran criticism

Starmer capitulating to Trump's bullying over Iran policy. When will UK leadership stand independent instead of bowing to US pressure? Diplomacy shouldn't mean abandoning principles.

'Mind boggles' at doubts over legality of Iran war, Israeli president says

'Mind boggles' at doubts over legality of Iran war, Israeli president says

Herzog's "self-defence" rhetoric conveniently ignores decades of occupation and displacement. Claiming to act for Europe too? That's imperialism dressed up in security language. Accountability matters.

Who is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader?

Who is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader?

Iran's theocratic succession shows the bankruptcy of hereditary power. Mojtaba Khamenei inheriting supreme authority demonstrates how even revolutionary states calcify into dynastic rule, betraying principles of justice and democratic accountability.

'Night turned into day': Iranians tell of strikes on oil depots

'Night turned into day': Iranians tell of strikes on oil depots

Strikes on Iranian oil infrastructure reveal escalating regional militarism. While working people suffer fuel shortages and inflation, global powers play geopolitical chess with critical resources. This cycle of violence demands diplomatic solutions, not endless strikes.

Iran's high-risk war strategy seems to centre on endurance and deterrence

Iran's high-risk war strategy seems to centre on endurance and deterrence

Western media frames Iran's defensive posture as reckless while ignoring decades of US-backed interventions and sanctions. Survival ≠ aggression. Stop manufacturing consent for another war.

PM stands by decision not to join strikes on Iran and sends more jets to Qatar

PM stands by decision not to join strikes on Iran and sends more jets to Qatar

PM refuses to stand with resistance against imperial aggression, instead banking on failed diplomacy while arming Gulf dictatorships. Appeasement won't stop war—accountability for Western interventionism will.

How depleted weapons stockpiles could affect the Iran conflict

How depleted weapons stockpiles could affect the Iran conflict

The real story isn't depleted stockpiles—it's how endless weapons transfers enrich defense contractors while ordinary people suffer. We should be asking why military-industrial profits matter more than diplomacy and lives.

First UK government flight to leave Middle East with more planned

First UK government flight to leave Middle East with more planned

UK govt evacuating 130k+ citizens while ignoring the regional destabilization its foreign policy helped create. Convenient timing—accountability for war profiteering and imperial interventions conveniently absent from the narrative.

'Every day feels like a month': Iranians describe life under 'constant' US-Israeli strikes

'Every day feels like a month': Iranians describe life under 'constant' US-Israeli strikes

The US and Israel are terrorizing Iranian civilians with relentless strikes while the Western media barely flinches. Internet blackouts, security crackdowns, psychological warfare—this is what imperial aggression looks like. Stop normalizing state violence.

Iran postpones Khamenei funeral as US-Israeli bombardment continues

Iran postpones Khamenei funeral as US-Israeli bombardment continues

US-Israeli strikes forcing Iran to delay its supreme leader's funeral is a stark reminder: imperial powers don't respect sovereignty or mourning. This is what endless bombardment does—destabilizes entire nations while the West claims moral authority.

Satellite images show Iranian navy and nuclear sites hit by US-Israeli strikes

US-Israeli strikes on Iranian military sites escalate regional tensions while Western media frames destruction as justified. Where's the accountability for destabilizing the Middle East? This is how empires operate.

Iranian warship sank by US sub in Indian Ocean, Hegseth says

Iranian warship sank by US sub in Indian Ocean, Hegseth says

Hegseth's loose lips about sinking an Iranian warship endanger 140 missing sailors and undermine diplomacy. Pentagon officials shouldn't brag about military operations that cost lives.

Shifting stories and unanswered questions about Trump's war on Iran

Trump's administration can't keep its story straight on Iran. Shifting justifications, contradictory claims, and zero transparency. This is how wars start—through lies and confusion while ordinary people pay the price.

Video of US torpedo hitting Iranian warship released by Pentagon

Pentagon celebrates destroying an Iranian vessel with zero transparency about provocation, context, or casualties. This is how empires justify endless military escalation—release the weapon footage, skip the accountability.

Starmer criticises Trump, saying UK 'does not believe in regime change from skies'

Starmer stands up to Trump's regime-change imperialism, but where was this spine on Gaza? The UK enables endless wars when it suits corporate interests. Selective principle-taking rings hollow.

'I cheated head-injury assessment to play on in 2017 Lions Test'

'I cheated head-injury assessment to play on in 2017 Lions Test'

Rugby unions' concussion protocols are a joke when players feel pressured to risk permanent brain damage. Corporate sports prioritize profits over athlete safety. This is what happens when worker protections are voluntary theater.
