Professor Marandi: US is paying enormous price’ for delay of ceasefire in Lebanon
Tuesday, 26 May 2026 — Al Mayadeen English
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi affirmed that Iran will not allow the Strait of Hormuz to go back to normal until “Lebanon is quiet.”
Professor Marandi highlighted that Iran had to make sure there are no “loopholes” in the agreements and no elements that the US can use to “cheat Iran,” stressing that the agreement has been carefully constructed, “including the parts that deal with Lebanon.”
“When the text comes out, people will see that those have been carefully crafted so that there would be no excuse for the Zionist regime and for the United States to continue the slaughter of women and children,” he said.

Ukraine’s Secret Al Qaeda Invasion Of Africa
Sunday, 24 May 2026 — Global Delinquents
On May 13th, French outlet RTL published an explosive report, entirely unremarked upon by English language media. It exposed how Ukrainian military and intelligence units are covertly operating in Mali on France’s behalf, in coordination with both ethnic Tuareg rebels and Al Qaeda-linked forces determined to crush the country’s revolutionary government. Furthermore, Kiev is keen to expand and escalate its African operations yet further, and destabilise neighbouring countries. Ukrainian militancy, long-encouraged by the CIA and MI6, has now decisively developed into an international threat.

The Left in the Global South
Saturday, 23 May 2026 — Vijay Prashad
The Working-Class Does Not Have the Time for Disunity (part 2).
(This essay is part 2 in a series called ‘The Working-Class Does Not Have the Time for Disunity’. You can read part 1 here).
(South Africa)
The idea of the Left in the Global South cannot be reduced to the electoral fortunes of communist parties, nor merely to the survival of socialist slogans in postcolonial states. The Left in the Global South is a historical force shaped by anti-colonial struggle, the unfinished project of national liberation, and the contemporary confrontation with global capitalism. To understand it requires that we move beyond the categories developed in Europe and North America and instead examine the actual terrain of political life in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the islands of the world system.

PSUV calls for an international front to defend Cuba
Saturuday, 23 May 2026 — Struggle / La Lucha
The Cuban flag flies in front of the Cuban parliament building in Havana. Photo: Prensa Latina The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) issued an urgent call for the unity of parties, social movements, unions, student federations, and popular organizations worldwide, to form a political and diplomatic front in defense of Cuba, in light of the threats of invasion made by U.S. President Donald Trump.
In this regard, PSUV alerted governments, political parties, and movements in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world about the consequences of the recent oil blockade and other coercive measures imposed by the U.S. against Cuba, especially following the Executive Order issued on May 1, 2026.
The statement added that this exacerbates the economic, financial, and commercial blockade against the island “to extreme and unprecedented levels” and represents “a crime of aggression.”
The statement further pointed out that the new provisions expand the secondary sanctions against companies, banks, and foreign entities, even when their operations in the U.S. have no connection to the Caribbean nation.
In the text, the organization also reaffirmed the historical and solidarity ties between Venezuela and Cuba, highlighting Cuba’s cooperation in various areas, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In turn, it reaffirmed its support for Cuba and its government and stated that “Cuba is not alone.”
The full statement is provided below:
The United Socialist Party of Venezuela alerts the parties and governments of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world about the serious consequences of the recent unilateral coercive measures imposed by the United States government against Cuba, especially the effects of the Executive Order issued on May 1, 2026, which exacerbates to extreme and unprecedented levels the economic, financial, and commercial blockade that has unsuccessfully attempted for over 60 years to break the sovereign will of our sister republic.
Venezuela denounces this action as a crime of aggression that adds to the oil embargo initiated since January 29 and multiplies the already sufficiently pernicious extraterritorial effects of the blockade, by enhancing the application of secondary sanctions against foreign companies, banks, and entities, even if their businesses in the United States have no relation to Cuba.
We are united with Cuba by centuries of history and common culture deeply rooted in our peoples, exalted by the permanent and invaluable actions of solidarity and cooperation that we Venezuelans have received from Cuba, even in the most remote places, where needs became overwhelming, and in the most critical moments when Fidel and Chávez often combined sagacity and wisdom, strength and state vision with the greatest love for humanity, to bring relief and hope to those who needed it, irrespective of beliefs, ideologies, or skin color.
Faithful to the internationalist spirit that guides the Cuban Revolution, its professional health teams risked their own lives to bring aid to other countries during the COVID-19 emergency, even to the most arrogant Western powers that succumbed to capitalist ambition. President Díaz-Canel was the first brave voice to rise up and condemn the military aggression against Venezuela on January 3 and demand the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Deputy Cilia Flores.
Only humanity has taken Cuba beyond its borders. Cuba deserves to receive respect and solidarity from those who cross its beautiful coasts full of color and life. Love is repaid with love.
Therefore, the PSUV urgently calls for the unity of parties, movements, unions, student federations, cultural and popular spaces from all over the world. We must stand together immediately, politically and diplomatically, to deter the attempt to create a forced “humanitarian crisis” scenario in Cuba as an excuse to escalate to greater aggression, including the military threat with unpredictable consequences.
Cuba is not alone. Today more than ever, it is essential to uphold this maxim in safeguarding the lives of 10 million Cuban brothers and sisters and in defending the stability, sovereignty, and peace of the entire Latin American and Caribbean region. We unite our strength with the Communist Party of Cuba, with its leadership and membership in this hour of firmness and patriotic clarity.
Caracas, May 19, 2026
Cuba will win! And with it will win humanity!
Long live sovereign Cuba!

The “Kids Social Media Ban” That Won’t Stop With Kids… Or Social Media
Friday, 22 May 2026 — #Together
An “under-16s social media ban” would not really be a ban on children using social media at all.
In practice, it would almost certainly require millions of ordinary adults to prove who they are online simply to access parts of the internet – with pressure over time for wider and wider forms of digital ID, age verification and biometric checking.

Cuba: Raúl Castro’s indictment exposes U.S. hypocrisy
Thursday, 21 May 2026 — Struggle / La Lucha
Fidel and Raúl. Photo: Ismael Francisco/Cubadebate The Trump administration’s decision to pursue an indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro (2008–2018) over the shoot-down of two Brothers to the Rescue aircraft in February 1996 has drawn attention amid broader allegations of U.S. double standards. Analysts and political figures point to the contrast between this legal action and reported U.S. military operations in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific that have destroyed small boats and resulted in nearly 200 deaths, without any legal accountability.

Putin in China: The New U.S.–Russia–China Equation| Pepe Escobar
Thursday, 21 May 2026 — Thinkers Forum
Has Putin finally given up on the illusion of a grand deal with the United States after this visit to China?
According to Pepe Escobar, Washington is no longer confronting only Iran, Russia, or China — it is increasingly confronting the global economy itself. From the Ukraine war to Iran, energy routes, and the future of the petro-dollar system, this is no longer just a regional conflict, but part of a much larger geopolitical transformation.
