26 March 2026 — MintPress News
In this in-depth analysis, MintPress News founder Mnar Adley and journalist Robert Inlakesh break down why Israel’s Merkava tanks are being destroyed at an alarming rate, how Hezbollah has grown stronger despite 15 months of bombardment, and why Israeli military analysts admit they cannot win on the ground. The resistance stands. Israel’s occupation fails.

Pedro Monzón Barata frames the killing of journalists in Lebanon as a deliberate assault on truth, linking it to broader imperial war dynamics, emphasizing Cuba’s historic solidarity with resistance movements and its condemnation of these crimes.
Sunday, 29 March 2026 — Reason2Resist with Dimitri Lascaris
On March 29, Dimitri Lascaris boarded an Iranian civilian vessel and toured the Strait of Hormuz for approximately one hour.
There, he observed and recorded the presence of nearly 100 oil tankers and cargo ships.
By all indications, commercial vessels continue to transit the Strait in significant numbers, but they now do so on terms dictated by the Islamic Republic.

Sunday, 29 March 2026 — A Different Narrative
“The Eye: that horrible growing sense of a hostile will that strove with great power to pierce all shadows of cloud, and earth, and flesh, and to see you: to pin you under its deadly gaze, naked, immovable…”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers (Harper Collins 1991, 2007) pp. 822-826
In J.R.R Tolkien’s the Lord of the Rings, the demonic dark lord Sauron (Sauron actually refers to himself in Trumpish fashion, as Tar-Mairon/”King Excellent”) manifests as malign intelligence, who manipulates men and events to advance his singular domination of Middle-Earth. In the books, Sauron did not stray beyond the walls of his citadel, Barad Dur, but instead used his missionaries, spies, servants and tools to corrupt people from afar.

On this episode of the MintCast, MintPress News director Mnar Adley breaks her silence after being targeted by a MAGA extremist, and dives deep into Day 27 of the US-Israel war on Iran with iranian political analyst Ali Alizadeh who is based in London and Robert Inlakesh, MintPress staff writer and MidEast Geopolitical analyst.
Trump thought he could decapitate Iran’s leadership and the whole country would collapse. He was dead wrong.
On Day 27 of the US-Israel war on Iran, the opposite has happened: Iran is more united than ever, US military bases across the Middle East are being systematically destroyed, and Israel’s air defense systems are running dry.
The White House is now claiming they achieved “regime change” – but that’s a lie. Iran’s new leadership is more anti-imperialist than ever, and they have a message for US troops: “Come closer and find out.”
Right now, we’re raising $300,000 to support our journalists on the ground in conflict zones and abroad who are risking everything to bring you uncensored truth about Empire.

Sunday, 29 March 2026 — Al Mayadeen English
As the funeral processions of Al Mayadeen’s Fatima Ftouni, her brother, Mohammad, and Al-Manar’s Ali Sheaib move forward, mourners raise their voices against those who killed the journalists.
Cries of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” echo through the crowds, alongside the resounding chant of “Labbayka ya Hussein,” in a moment marked by grief, defiance, and solidarity.
Sunday, 29 March 2026 — New Eastern Outlook
From Donald Trump to Benjamin Netanyahu, the U.S.–Israel war in Iran exposes not only strategic miscalculations but a deeper transformation in how wars are fought, justified, and prolonged. What if the real lesson is that power no longer guarantees control—and that escalation now replaces strategy?
Saturday, 28 March 2026 — karlof1’s Geopolitical Gymnasium
Sorry for the long silence here at the Gym as my writings have appeared at Moon of Alabama and Sonar21 almost exclusively since 28 February. Much of my time was spent watching numerous podcasts made by people with much better sources so I could gain a more informed insight into this event, event being a word far too soft to describe what’s transpired. My comment made at MoA today is mach better:
Friday, 27 March 2026 — Weaponized Information
The New York Times frames imperial vulnerability as logistical inconvenience, masking the political meaning of exposure. The reconstructed facts reveal a war fought across an integrated system of bases, airspace, and energy choke points from Hormuz to Kharg. The deeper contradiction shows an empire that can still project force but can no longer prevent that force from returning through its own infrastructure. The task now is to organize against war, sanctions, and imperial coercion as a system, not an event.

The first time I saw a tank was on the streets of Sancti Spíritus, the city in the center of the island where I was born. It was April 1975, and with the fall of Saigon, Vietnam’s victory was being celebrated after nearly 20 years of U.S. aggression. My child’s eyes do not remember that World War II steel behemoth as a threat, but rather as an early lesson that, in Cuba, even the triumphs and sorrows of other peoples are also experienced as a warning.

Displaced in Gaza: Stories from the Gaza Genocide, edited by Yousef M. Aljamal, Norma Hashim, Zoe Jannuzi and Noor Nabulsi, Haymarket Books (2025)
One can only hope that the accounts collected in Displaced in Gaza: Stories from the Gaza Genocide will be introduced one day as evidence in international courts to convict the Israeli government and military personnel responsible for the crimes depicted in this book.

Shanaka Anslem Perera proposes seven clocks that are ticking with respect to the US war of aggression upon Iran. Below I look at these seven clocks, some are correct, some are incomplete, and some show some basic ignorance. Maybe there are more than seven?
