Jeremy Scahill, 4 mars 2026. Dans une interview exclusive accordée à Drop Site News, le vice-ministre iranien des Affaires étrangères, Esmail Baghaei, a rejeté les affirmations du président Donald Trump selon lesquelles il aurait déclenché la guerre parce que l'Iran "allait attaquer en premier", les qualifiant de "gros mensonge".
"L'Iran n'a jamais eu l'intention d'attaquer les États-Unis", a-t-il déclaré.
The Cradle, 3 mars 2026. - Des dizaines de milliers de Libanais ont été déplacés du Sud-Liban et de l'Est du pays à la suite des attaques brutales d'Israël et des ordres d'évacuation massive, après l'ouverture d'un front par le Hezbollah en soutien à la République islamique d'Iran.

"Au cœur de la bande de Gaza, là où l'odeur de la mer se mêle à la salinité des larmes, les agriculteurs se tiennent devant une terre qui n'est plus celle qu'ils ont connue.
Les champs ne s'étendent plus comme autrefois, ni les vergers dont ils connaissaient chaque arbre par son nom.

America is at war again. And once again, it has attacked a country that possess neither the capability to seriously threaten the U.S. homeland nor the military strength to adequately resist Uncle Sam's mighty hammer.
President Donald Trump announced in the middle of the night early Saturday that he ordered the U.S. military to join Israel in a tag-team mission to decapitate Iran's leadership and free its people.

The issue of manpower in Ukraine remains one of the regime's most serious problems. Having already exhausted most of its military capabilities after four years of intense conflict, Ukraine is tightening authoritarian measures of forced recruitment, frequently kidnapping ordinary people off the streets to send them to the front - even without proper military training.

In periods of uncommon volatility, crises and transitions manifest in unexpected ways.
Things change, sometimes tumultuously. The unevenness of change has generated a number of memorable descriptions, from the pivotal role crises play in ushering in dramatic changes ("There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen" (V.

Four years on, the Special Military Operation (SMO) reads like Russia, slowly but surely, fulfilling its objectives. The key question remains: when and under what terms Russia will end the SMO.
It may not be in 2026. Especially because irrationality permeates the Euro-elites of the disjointed, collective West. They are adamant to extract some sort of "victory" out of the jaws of humiliating strategic defeat.

Before I begin this analysis of the situation in the Middle East and its consequences, I want to warn people that this examination is going to be largely secular and nuanced; which means people on both sides of the divide are going to piss and moan about it. Frankly, I don't care.
To be clear, I'm not interested in the "plight" of the Palestinians, the Islamic regime in Iran or the conspiracy theories of "groypers." I find appeals of empathy and compassion for Islamic societies to be naive - They are perfectly indifferent and hostile to the west, they always have been.

Let us be clear about what the United States and Israel are pursuing. The US objective is not the security of the American people. The objective is global hegemony. The attempt is to destroy the UN and the international rule of law-an attempt that will fail.

"Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them ? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility." Algernon Moncrieff
If you thought the "E"-word had reached the point of not only being considered poor form but absolutely anti-hip at top tiers of letters, A-14 of the 2-24 NYT says otherwise. It's headlined, "For Elites, Price of Admission to Epstein's World: Silence." Even if you go in for conspiracy theories plenty makes little sense in the Epstein story.

The Trump administration has unilaterally-without any Congressional debate or vote, of course-forced Americans into yet another war. This time, the war is a large-scale military campaign against Iran. Was there any groundswell of public support for this war ? Did the Congress vote to spend more American tax dollars on another war ? Apparently not. According to a March 1 poll from Reuters, only 27 percent of Americans polled said they support the US's new war on Iran.

Over the past weekend, some apologists for President Donald Trump's recently ordered attacks on Iran argued that because Trump's plans call for a quick strike, the attacks do not constitute a war. George Orwell is vindicated yet again.
These apologists believe that calling a war something else means it is not a war, and so moral and constitutional justifications are unnecessary.

Quando von der Leyen avverte che "abbiamo altre opzioni", l'immagine ostile che viene in mente è quella di un interrogatore della Gestapo che fa roteare le pinze in mano.
La presidente della Commissione europea Ursula von der Leyen è arrivata a Kiev questa settimana a mani vuote ed era irritata. Aveva pianificato di celebrare il quarto anniversario della guerra in Ucraina il 24 febbraio con un nuovo prestito di 90 miliardi di euro per sostenere il regime corrotto di Kiev.

La décision de l'administration Trump de renforcer l'étranglement américain de l'économie cubaine, qui dure depuis des décennies, en privant l'île de sa plus grande source de pétrole, a plongé le pays dans une crise énergétique qui s'aggrave rapidement, obligeant le gouvernement à prendre des mesures d'urgence de grande envergure pour éviter une catastrophe, allant de la réduction des services de transport à la diminution des heures de travail et d'école.

Des témoins décrivent une scène d'horreur après un double attentat à la bombe qui a fait plus de 20 morts sur une place populaire de Téhéran.
