Behind claims of neutrality, the UAE has emerged as a key player in the war on Iran — providing surveillance, hosting operations, enabling strikes from its bases and aiding Israeli false flags while portraying itself as a victim on the world stage The post Not Neutral: Inside The UAE’s Shadow Role In the US-Israeli War on Iran appeared first on MintPress News.

As the NBA playoffs tip off this weekend, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry are under growing scrutiny — not just for their play, but for links to Israeli drone technology and security firms tied to Israel’s military operations that are used to commit war crimes in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.

Since the end of World War Two, Washington has targeted medical centers in at least 16 countries and Israel destroyed nearly every medical facility in Gaza. The 307 Iranian sites hit does not even come close to the record for the number of hospitals in any country destroyed by American bombs and missiles.

Behind The Headlines – The F-15E rescue Iran operation, sold by the Trump administration as a ‘biblical’ triumph, stands exposed as one of the most costly and contradictory failures in modern military history.

The U.S.–Israel war on Iran has reignited a long-simmering front in Iraq, where resistance groups like Kataeb Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq are launching coordinated drone and missile attacks on American targets, including Ain al-Assad airbase and facilities inside Baghdad’s Green Zone. What Washington once declared finished in 2003 is rapidly unraveling into a new phase of war — one defined by blowback, as battle-hardened Iraqi factions degrade U.S. defenses and push American forces out of Iraq.

For years, U.S. strategy has relied on the assumption that sanctions, economic pressure, and military force would weaken adversaries and trigger internal collapse. But as economist Michael Hudson has argued, that logic misunderstands how nations respond under existential threat. “This war will decide whether the U.S. controls the global oil trade — or whether the world becomes independent of it,” Hudson said, framing the conflict as a turning point in the global economic order.

A series of arson attacks and alleged incidents targeting alleged Jewish-linked sites across Europe have been attributed to a little-known group called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), or Ashab al-Yamin allegedly linked to the IRGC. At the same time, governments across Europe and the UK are moving to formally designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization — a policy long pushed by pro-war, pro-Israel lobbying networks. Many of the same actors amplifying the HAYI narrative are also leading that campaign within Western media to manufacture consent for war and accelerate this political objective of proscription. While raising the possibility that unverified claims of an Iran-linked threat are being leveraged to shape public fear and justify sweeping new security measures tied to the widening war. This investigation examines each reported attack, the sources promoting the HAYI narrative, and how claims of a coordinated campaign may be shaping public perception — fueling fea

In this week’s episode of the MintCast podcast hosted by MintPress director Mnar Adley, we are joined by Iranian political analyst Ali Alizadeh to talk about Trump’s miscalculation in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran which went from shock & awe to strategic failure. Twenty-seven days into the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, what was expected to be a swift and decisive campaign is instead spiraling into a far more dangerous and unpredictable confrontation with massive econimic global fallout because of the closure of the Straight of Hormuz. Early assumptions that Iran’s leadership could be “decapitated” through targeted airstrikes—triggering internal collapse—have proven dramatically misplaced.
