The Trump White House plagiarized its justification for attacking Iran from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the main DC outfit promoting war with Tehran. The think tank was originally founded to “enhance Israel’s image,” and partners closely with the Israeli government. The Trump Administration appeared to plagiarize its official justification for its war on Iran, copying almost word-for-word a document originally produced by the Foundation for the Defense of Dem
20 March 2026, posted by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)The people of Iran call America “the Great Satan” because they remember the years during 1953-1979 when the brutal Shah whom the U.S. CIA imposed upon them in a 1953 U.S. coup that threw out Iran’s democratically elected and progressive head-of-state Mohammed Mosaddegh and replaced his Government by instituting the Shah and his torture chambers, and they don’t want to go back to that. And they know that the U.S. G
Chas Freeman, our most senior diplomat, covers the geopolitical ramifications of the Iran war as no one else can. Trump is beginning to realize that he has been mousetrapped into a disastrous war by Netanyahu, just as many people predicted would happen. The trap has been sprung and he’s stuck struggling with no way out. Netanyahu has been pushing this war for forty years, and now he has finally found a president stupid enough to do it. What Bibi has worked for all these years he is now get
Zionism, the Rothschilds and the Zionist LobbyThis documentary was made in 1983 by the Soviet Union. It rings true today.
When this war with Iran erupted, everyone knew that it would have an impact on the global economy. But very few anticipated that it would be this bad. We are facing the worst oil disruption in history, the worst natural gas disruption in history, the worst helium disruption in history and the worst fertilizer disruption in history simultaneously. The Iranians have control over which ships are allowed through the Strait of Hormuz, and they are determined to keep it that way for as long as possibl

20 March 2026, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)This is especially important now because wars are increasing under Trump even more than they’ve been increasing ever since the Soviet Union ended in 1991 and the profits of America’s armaments companies have soared since then, even more than other stocks have been increasing since that time — America has become a country that is effectively controlled by its armaments contractors, who profit from wars, and whose main mar
Joe Kent, a top counterterrorism official in the Trump administration, resigned Tuesday citing his opposition to the ongoing war in Iran.Kent’s resignation came as the most recent and perhaps most consequential of a series of rifts opening on the far right over the war in Iran. While most of the defections had come from MAGA media figures, Kent’s departure from his role as director of the National Counterterrorism Center was the first major defection from the administration.In his letter of resi
In retaliation for the ongoing U.S.–Israeli war, Iran responded with a novel form of counterattack. For the first time in military history, private sector data centers came under deliberate attack.In an era when companies known for e-commerce, social networks, and search engines have also become close collaborators with militaries, is bombing their servers fair game?Three days after the U.S. and Israel began their joint bombardment, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched kamikaze drone s

I’m trying to figure out if he’s really that stupid or does he think WE are really that stupid. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty is a collective defense clause. It applies only when a NATO member is the VICTI
