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.
Donald Trump’s surprising announcement that talks are starting with Iran gives the White House a pivotal choice: follow pro-Israel hawks calling for a military confrontation with Iran, or chart a diplomatic course that could avert a disastrous war.
The Biden administration plans to station Marines on commercial ships in the Persian Gulf. This could trigger war with Iran, but most of the mainstream U.S. press is not paying attention.
A possible new U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement is the best news from the Middle East in years. So why isn’t the U.S. media reporting it?
As global powers make progress toward a renewed Iran deal, the Israeli Prime Minister is objecting to it, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, an Israel lobby organization, is calling a new agreement “a surrender pact,” and the New York Times, characteristically, has published a biased article that raises objections to the proposed deal without giving its supporters much space to defend it.
