Kiev’s Double Act

Kiev Dormition Cathedral Fire

It isn’t the first time that the Kiev regime has staged a false flag ‘Russian attack’ timed strategically to drive support for NATO’s war on Russia – but possibly the most devious and dirty. Zelensky himself described the double act: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the Russian drone strike that damaged Kyiv’s historic 11th-century Dormition… Continue reading Kiev’s Double Act

The Yellow Line and the Red Lines.

Yellow Blocks in Gaza

If one thing can be said about Iran’s commitment to the terms of its MoU – the same terms as were presented at the start of ‘negotiations’ in the ’10-point plan’ – it must be that the Palestinian cause lies at the heart of that commitment, and that of the Resistance. Because the current proposals,… Continue reading The Yellow Line and the Red Lines.

Drone-strike Trickery in the Gulf

On June 4th, Sydney time, Al Jazeera showed the video below of damage to Kuwait International Airport, from which the leading photo is taken. What appears to be a recently fired interceptor rocket is shown being hosed down in a car park near the terminal, at some time during the previous night. Al Jazeera’s broadcast… Continue reading Drone-strike Trickery in the Gulf

RT talks to Tony Kevin on Australian Russophobia.

In an act of calculated and callous bastardry on the night of May 21st, Ukrainian soldiers sent 16 long distance drones in three waves towards the central city of Starobelsk in the Lugansk Peoples Republic, hitting and destroying a student dormitory of the Lugansk Professional College, where over 80 teenagers were sleeping. The successive strikes… Continue reading RT talks to Tony Kevin on Australian Russophobia.

Trump’s Kiss of Death

In what appears to have been a final effort to ensure that the comatose ‘peace agreement’ with Iran will never regain consciousness, President Trump just added a game-changing new condition to the US demand list: in order to sign onto the proposed regional peace agreement to end the war on Iran, Arab states supporting the… Continue reading Trump’s Kiss of Death

Persian Gulf; Signing Up or Signing Out.

PGSA Area of control May 21st

As I wrote in “Persian Gulf; Departure Point”, no further negotiations or mutual agreements can or will be made between Iran and its opponents. The constant flow of reports on ‘progress’ in talks and even suggestions that an agreement is close bear no relation to the reality, and is being generated by individuals and groups… Continue reading Persian Gulf; Signing Up or Signing Out.

Persian Gulf; Departure Point.

Abbas Araghchi in New Delhi, setting the terms

I think it can be said that ‘negotiations’ between the US and Iran are now finished, notwithstanding that they don’t appear to have actually taken place. This is not because of the supposed failure of Iran to join talks in Islamabad, or to fail to agree on its requirements for an end to the conflict.… Continue reading Persian Gulf; Departure Point.

BBC misses the Bridge; Bushra Sheikh finds it.

A month ago I speculated on the possible consequences of the US bombing of the Karaj bridge, an act of international vandalism and spite which could only be described as a war crime, given the bridge was unfinished and with no military significance. While we wait to see if ‘hostilities resume’ – or when they… Continue reading BBC misses the Bridge; Bushra Sheikh finds it.

israel’s Arab peacekeepers in Gaza

UAE-backed thugs in Gaza

Some months ago it became apparent that Palestinian gangs trained and armed by the UAE were acting as mercenaries for israel’s occupation army, as following the ‘ceasefire’ in October 2025, members of various gangs had turned up near the yellow line, and were involved in firefights with Hamas fighters. These were the same gangs who… Continue reading israel’s Arab peacekeepers in Gaza

An Open and Shut Case

HORMUZ STRAIT TRAFFIC 18 APRIL

In the end it has come down to this – an inability in the American mind to comprehend the most basic of truths about ‘the other’ – being that its assumed exceptionalism amounts to nothing in the mind of Iranians. The leaders of the hegemon simply cannot accept that their presence in W Asia is… Continue reading An Open and Shut Case
