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.

The leaders of the hegemon simply cannot accept that their presence in W Asia is… Continue reading An Open and Shut Case

A Bridge Too Far

“Burning one’s bridges” was always considered unwise as a means of defence, as it narrowed the options of escape; nowadays “bombing other’s bridges” is the preferred option for keeping the enemy at bay. But whether defensive or offensive, destroying such expensive and vital structures has only been justifiable for military objectives.. until now! One can… Continue reading A Bridge Too Far

The BBC – purveyor of Imperial Delusions

THE 80TH WAVE

As the cheerleader for and mouthpiece of the British Empire and its minions, the BBC now excels itself with this report on ‘the Iran war from inside’, following ‘rare access’ to a BBC reporter in Tehran. In the first part below the presenter frames the situation in terms of ‘Israel’s’ and US alleged objectives of… Continue reading The BBC – purveyor of Imperial Delusions

Arabian Betrayal; Imperial Deceit.

UAE Aid for Gaza, Greek flour

Suddenly the truth falls into place – there never would be a ‘phase 2’ of the Gaza ceasefire and peace plan. “Israel” has been in complete control of the war it started on October 7th 2023, but has worked in coordination with Western powers who arm it and provide supportive propaganda through their media networks.… Continue reading Arabian Betrayal; Imperial Deceit.
