Why has U.S. policy toward Iran repeatedly failed despite decades of pressure, sanctions, and intervention? This essay argues that the problem is deeper than geopolitics: it is a civilizational misreading. From the 1953 coup to the nuclear dispute, Washington has approached Iran as a strategic threat rather than a historical society shaped by memory, sovereignty, and identity. Sanctions and coercion have hardened, not softened, Iran’s stance. The result is a cycle of mistrust and escalation. Without understanding Iran on its own terms, U.S. power remains ineffective—trapped in a pattern where force replaces insight and policy reproduces the very conflict it seeks toresolve.
Reports of 1-year-old Karim Abu Nassar being burned with a cigarette and pierced with a nail followed the publication of a United Nations analysis detailing Israel’s “systematic” torture of Palestinians since October 2023.
Trump’s latest National Security Strategy echoes an old and dangerous ideology — the revival of the “White man’s burden.” Historian Juan Cole argues that the Trump administration’s rhetoric on immigration, Europe, and global power reflects a disturbing embrace of White nationalist thinking reminiscent of early 20th-century colonial and fascist ideas. By portraying multicultural democracy as “civilizational decline” and promoting fears of demographic replacement, Trump’s worldview aligns with far-right narratives that once fueled some of history’s darkest chapters. This essay examines how such ideas are resurfacing in contemporary geopolitics and warns of the global consequences if racialized imperial thinking again shapes international policy.
In Plaza Bolívar, photos of the girls killed in Iran by U.S. drones are arranged in a circle beneath the monument to the Liberator. On stage, speeches by activists and artists alternate. At the tables of the Cuba-Venezuela Association, medicines are being collected to send to Havana. Women and men hold flags of Iran, Palestine, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other countries and movements, including those from the United States, represented by the international delegation of the People’s Congress, which has just arrived from Cuba at the initiative of the Brazilian Landless Movement.
Greenland has suddenly become a geopolitical flashpoint—but the real issue goes far beyond resources or personalities. Dr Niels Hahn argues that the United States’ long-term strategy is to prevent Europe from developing independent military power through the EU’s defence cooperation, PESCO. Control over Greenland, a key Arctic strategic zone, could allow Washington to keep European security tied to NATO and maintain influence across the North Atlantic. As Arctic routes gain importance and Eurasian powers grow stronger, Greenland may become central to the struggle over global dominance, European sovereignty, and the future balance of power in the twenty-firstcentury.
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has emerged as a rare dissenting voice in a Europe widely seen as aligned with Washington. From recognizing the State of Palestine and condemning Israel’s assault on Gaza to opposing the US-Israel war on Iran, Madrid has invoked international law and diplomacy over military escalation. Spain even barred the use of US bases on its soil for strikes against Iran and rejected pressure to raise military spending to 5% of GDP. In this article, Salim Lamrani argues that Spain’s stance represents a defense of sovereignty, international law, and moral responsibility in a conformist Europe.
Hindutva is not Hinduism—it is a political project reshaping India’s democracy, economy, and social fabric. As the RSS intensifies “ghar wapsi” and the Modi regime deepens neoliberal policies, a powerful fusion of majoritarian nationalism and corporate capitalism is unfolding. This article exposes how cultural identity is being weaponised to mask rising inequality, eroding labour rights, and the concentration of wealth among a few. Tracing its roots from colonial constructions to contemporary global alignments, it argues that Hindutva today serves as the ideological engine of capitalist colonisation—posing a grave challenge to constitutional secularism, social justice, and the very idea ofIndia.
Britain’s hidden role in recent US military operations—from Iran to Venezuela—reveals how intelligence networks, colonial bases, and surveillance infrastructure underpin modern imperial warfare. From RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, British territory and logistics have quietly enabled surveillance, refuelling, and covert operations. The article also examines tanker seizures, legal controversies in Scotland, and the geopolitics surrounding the Chagos Islands agreement with Mauritius. It argues that Britain’s military cooperation with Washington raises serious questions about sovereignty, international law, and democratic accountability—while also suggesting that anti-colonial legal struggles, like Mauritius’s campaign over Diego Garcia, may offer a path to challenge these entrenched military structures.
The US Department of Justice has reportedly launched multiple drug trafficking investigations into Colombian President Gustavo Petro—a leftist and staunch critic of President Donald Trump—just over two months after dropping a key yet fictitious allegation against Venezuela’s kidnapped leader.
“Three people with knowledge of the matter” told The New York Times on Friday that the US Attorney’s offices in Manhattan and Brooklyn are conducting the investigations in concert with “prosecutors who focus on international narcotics trafficking,” the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
