The Trump administration announced it is approving another massive arms deal for Israel ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington next week.
What really happened during the so-called “12-Day War” between Israel, the U.S., and Iran — and why it’s not about nuclear weapons.
As Israel pushes for full U.S. intervention in its attacks on Iran, two dozen progressive House members are pushing a bill that would block the U.S. from sending Israel offensive weapons.
The attack on Iran is just the latest crime in the Israeli regime’s path of destruction across the Middle East. Its Western-backed impunity has become a global threat.
Iranians know the logic of Zionism, underwritten by the American empire, is what has naturally led to the devastation they are now experiencing. Palestinian liberation from Zionism can bring the entire region, including Iran, closer to freedom.
Four days after Israel attacked Iran, both countries are widening their attacks. Meanwhile, Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza continue to be gunned down, while Israel shuts down the West Bank.
Donald Trump called Israel’s attack on Iran “excellent” and warned there is “more to come” as Israel lobby groups and U.S. lawmakers threatened further bombings and escalation in the region.
The long-dreaded war in the Persian Gulf between a U.S.-backed Israel and Iran appears imminent, and it is all based on a manufactured crisis aimed at undermining the Iran nuclear negotiations.
Netanyahu is facing increasing pressure from European states, including the threat of sanctions. The unanswered question is whether Trump will actually let Europe take action, or will he once again shield Israel from any accountability.
