No comments on Strait Of Hormuz Closure Brings Empire To Brink

Strait Of Hormuz Closure Brings Empire To Brink
Tuesday, 24 March 2026 — Global Delinquents

Kit Klarenberg

Since the criminal Zionist-American war on Iran erupted, the Strait of Hormuz has remained stubbornly closed. Despite Donald Trump’s dire threats, Tehran has brought maritime traffic to a total standstill. The Empire has futilely scrambled to assemble an international coalition to reopen the economically vital waterway ever since, only to be rebuffed. NATO allies have been slammed for making a “foolish mistake”, by refusing to help militarily secure the Strait. In truth, there is no hope it can be forcibly reopened in the foreseeable future.

No comments on Professor Marandi on Gulf states: ‘Their only solution is to force the US to back down’

Professor Marandi on Gulf states: ‘Their only solution is to force the US to back down’
23 March 2026 — Al Mayadeen English

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi clarified that the United States “is being utterly ignorant in its confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the axis of resistance.”

He explained that Iran and the Axis of Resistance have not yet begun escalation and did not initiate the war, but have been trying to prevent the region from being destroyed.

Gulf states in the region, Marandi says, miscalculated by underestimating the Axis of Resistance and overestimating the US, and warned them that their only solution is to back down and force the United States to leave.

A “Black Spot” for the West: The World on the Brink of Global Shia Jihad After the Killing of Khamenei
Tuesday, 24 March 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

Muhammad Hamid ad-Din

The assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the U.S.-Israeli operation “Epic Fury” has become the point of no return.

The conflict has transcended the boundaries of a geopolitical confrontation and taken on the characteristics of a religious war. Iran’s three grand ayatollahs have already declared jihad, and in March 2026, the question is not whether the “Shia fire” will ignite, but whether the West will have time to evacuate its citizens from the blazing Middle East.

No comments on Trump Talks

Trump Talks
Monday, 23 March 2026 — Al Mayadeen English

US President Donald Trump claimed that the United States and Iran have engaged in what he described as “very good and productive” discussions over the past two days.

In a post on TruthSocial, Trump said the talks were “in-depth, detailed, and constructive,” and are expected to continue throughout the week.

Trump said that in accordance with these talks, he has instructed the US Department of War to postpone all planned military strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a period of five days.

The pause, according to Trump, is conditional on the progress of the “ongoing meetings”, signaling that an aggression on Iran’s civilian energy infrastructure remains a possibility.

Trump had threatened Iran with strikes against its power infrastructure on Saturday, prompting Tehran to retaliate with threats to the power infrastructure feeding US bases and “Israel”.

The Iranian position on the Strait of Hormuz remains unchanged; the Strait is open to non-hostile nations who have not participated in attacks against Iran.

Donald Trump Sits in His Own Trap: Can He Win in Cuba?
Monday, 23 March 2026 — Vijay Prashad

Boyish Imperialism

Vijay Prashad

Every week, I have an assessment from the Planet of Hyper-imperialism in Peoples Democracy. This week, it is on Trump and Cuba. Please read it below, but also read the paper weekly!

Donald Trump likes to win. He made that clear in his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, where he writes about how he likes to ‘think big’ and ‘win big’. What Trump dislikes is a ‘loser’, a word that he uses frequently in The Art of the Deal, and which he deploys in his conversations to mark the character of people he dislikes. In recent years, it has meant everything to Trump that he wins elections (his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 rattled him so much that he refused to accept the result). But this year, Trump has focused his attention on achieving victory in something that he promised to avoid: wars.

American Theocracy Revisited: Oil, Empire, and the Gospel of Decline

A dissection of how energy dependence, apocalyptic politics, and debt-fueled capitalism fused into a governing logic of U.S. power—and why, nearly two decades later, the contradictions Phillips identified have not resolved but intensified under the pressures of imperial decline and global realignment.

No comments on The EU Geopolitical Reality

The EU Geopolitical Reality
Sunday, 22 March 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy

Roger Boyd

Background

I hesitated to write this, as the EU is not a nation but a grouping of nations, but the dominance of the EU bureaucracy over the constituent nations has progressed considerably (backed up with NATO of course) together with the EU being dominated by its largest and tightly aligned members; Germany, France, Italy and Poland. Of the larger nations, only Spain stands out as having somewhat of an independent alignment, but that is offset by the heft of the other large members. And the latter are also supported by Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Austria, the Baltics, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Romania (after the local vassals aligned with the EU and NATO elites in stealing the election for president). Only Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia stand in opposition to EU foreign policy against Russia, and Spain with respect to the Middle East. Let’s remember that the European security forces are very fully integrated with the US security services, and US troops occupy Germany (36,000) and Italy (12,600).

US War on Iran & the Wider Dirty War on China: US/Ukrainian Mercenaries In Myanmar
Sunday, 22 March 2026 — The New Atlas
- While the US attack on Iran throttles energy production and exports to China, following the cutting of energy exports from Venezuela to China in a war earlier this year, and years of attacking Russian energy production via Ukraine, US-backed militants in Myanmar are attacking pipelines leading directly into China;
- A US citizen and several Ukrainians were caught bringing in large numbers of combat drones to fight the central Myanmar government and attack key infrastructure across the country including Belt and Road Initiative projects;
- Zooming out from any one of these conflicts reveals a global US war and proxy war as well as a developing global oil blockade against China;

The Capitalist END of the West: Iran Destroys US Plans | Dr. Radhika Desai
Saturday, 21 March 2026 — Neutrality Studies and Radhika Desai Geopolitical Economist

The illegal attack on Iran—as many illegal wars before—is not a bug but a system feature. One, however, that is doomed to self-destruct its host. It is the inevitable outcome of the rent-seeking and society corrupting logic of the capitalist system the West is built around. The expansionary and often genocidal logic embedded in the core of the US empire drives entire classes within the West toward the ruthless application of force. But in a multipolar world this approach finds its ultimate—and eventually tragic—end.

Seeing Trump Clearly
Saturday, 21 March 2026 — Craig Murray

What if Trump’s apparently chaotic thought processes and intuitive decision making are all a blind, a charade? What if we are really witnessing, in the Middle East and more widely, a carefully constructed plan with very definite objectives? Has Trump in fact “planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway”, while flinging the chaff of apparent chaos? I realise that this is not intuitive, but bear with me (more…)

Iran moves to Total War against the death cult
Thursday, 19 March 2026 — Strategic Culture Foundation

Attacking Iran’s South Pars gas field – the largest on the planet – is the ultimate escalation.

Neo-Caligula, in trademark Truth Social coward vociferation mode, has been desperate to blame the death cult in West Asia for it and excuse himself from any responsibility: he claims Israel attacked South Pars “out of anger” and the U.S. “knew nothing about this particular attack”. Qatar was “in no way, shape or form involved”. And Iran hit Qatar’s LNG in retaliation “based on wrong intelligence”.

The Markets Will Wake Up From The Phoney War
Friday, 20 March 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy

And the US Vassal States will be in Severe Economic & Financial Crises

Roger Boyd

The time between Germany’s invasion of Poland (September 1939) and the invasion of France (May 1940) was called the “phoney war” as France and the UK decided not to seriously attack Germany’s western border. During this time, the French and British were putting together a force to help the Finnish in their war with the Soviet Union. Thankfully, that ended before the Western forces could get to Finland but it underlines the priorities for the British and French elites; fighting the communist Soviet Union rather than fascist Germany.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
