Since the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, US imperialism has driven nuclear proliferation worldwide. Current nuclear flashpoints, such as Iran, show how the US continues to use nuclear blackmail to reinforce its dominance.

The Trump administration announced it is approving another massive arms deal for Israel ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington next week.

The vast majority of the Republican party and a number of hawkish Democrats are rallying around Trump’s war on Iran.

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. 

Israel is using the war on Iran to further its colonization and annexation of the West Bank, turning Palestinian communities into caged enclaves.

Palestinians in Gaza are watching the skies as missiles fall on Tel Aviv instead of them. While many think Israel can be defeated, others are left frustrated that Iran did not intervene and come to Gaza’s aid sooner.

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.

The New York Times reports that Israel was planning to launch air strikes against Iran before the Trump administration called off the move.
