On April 8, the newly announced ceasefire was violently broken by a wave of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon.
In broad daylight and during rush hour, over a hundred bombs fell on densely populated residential areas and medical centers.
While the Israeli occupation claims to target “infrastructure”, the reality on the ground tells a different story: students interrupted by explosions, children fleeing destruction, and posts of missing people flooding the internet.

A historic synagogue in Tehran, originally built in 1958, was destroyed on the Jewish holiday of Passover by Israeli airstrikes on April 7th.
The Rafi-Nia Synagogue, located in central Tehran, was one of the longstanding institutions serving Iran’s Jewish community. Constructed in 1958, it stood as both a place of worship and a symbol of the deep historical roots of Judaism in Iran, which stretch back more than two millennia.

“I don’t know if they expected the violation to be so ugly and disgusting and barbaric and so swift, but the expectation was that this ceasefire would not hold,” Professor Marandi told Al Mayadeen.
“And the expectation was that the Zionist regime and Netanyahu would do whatever they can in order to make sure that the region remains in conflict,” he added.
Seyed Marandi said that he believes that we are going to have an escalation, pointing out that Iran has shut the Strait of Hormuz completely.
“Less ships today [April 8] have passed through the Strait of Hormuz than any other day in the past month,” he said.
“A ceasefire is a ceasefire; either we have a ceasefire or we don’t have a ceasefire,” Seyed Marandi tersely stated.

The media narrative frames the war through the language of objectives and outcomes, masking how imperial violence is normalized and depoliticized. A reconstruction of the facts reveals a deeper reality: sanctions, covert operations, chokepoint control, and historical intervention form the material architecture of this conflict. What emerges is not policy failure but a system in crisis—an empire that can still destroy with precision but cannot reliably impose political submission. The task now shifts from analysis to organization, as scattered resistance must be consolidated into a force capable of raising the cost of empire beyond what it can sustain.

The blockade in Cuba — explains journalist and researcher Rosa Miriam Elizalde — is not only economic and commercial, but also technological and communicative. The island faces a brutal and unequal information war that is part of the regime change attempts promoted from Washington, Miami, and Madrid.
