    Deterrence or Nothing: Iran’s Logic of Total War or Total Cease-Fire

    Tuesday, 10 March 2026 — nitter.poast.org

    Amal Saad

    Iran’s rejection of a ceasefire is not simply a disagreement over timing or terms, but reflects a challenge to the entire framework through which negotiations with the US have been conducted for decades. The Islamic Republic is refusing to negotiate from a position in which its own capabilities are treated as the problem to be solved or contained, whether its nuclear program, missile arsenal, or its regional alliances and support for the Axis of Resistance, and is instead insisting that the issue at stake is US and Israeli aggression and the regional order that underpins it.

    Geopolitical Economy Hour: War On Iran, World War III or Imperialism’s Last Stand? w Michael Hudson

    Thursday, 12 March 2026 — Radhika Desai Geopolitical Economist

    The latest twist – out of many twists and turns – in the US-Israeli war on Iran is Trump’s announcement that the War in Iran will be ‘ending very soon’ and that it was ‘ “very complete, pretty much” and ahead of schedule. At the same time, he also claimed that ‘We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough.

    Iran Strikes US Fifth Fleet Base – Bahrain Erupts in Uprising & Saudi Forces Move to Crush Dissent

    Friday, 13 March 2026 — MintPress News

    Since February 28, following the Israeli-US war of aggression against Iran, the Islamic Republic has targeted vital US military infrastructure bases in Persian Gulf nations, the worst hit being Bahrain. Simultaneously, the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has revived the predominantly Shia island’s 2011 revolutionary fervor.

    US and Israel’s environmental warfare in Iran and West Asia

    Friday, 13 March 2026 — Prometheus

    Kimia Talebi

    Kimia Talebi situates the attacks on Iran’s fuel depots within the US and Israel’s larger ecocidal imperialist project and argues for the necessity of embedding anti-imperialist politics in any ecological organising in Britain.

    On Saturday 7th March, the United States and Israel launched one of the largest coordinated chemical attacks against a civilian population in history. A major refinery in Tehran was hit alongside other fuel depots in the city and in Karaj, west of the capital. Oil fires raged across the sky and leaks from the sites exploded in the street-side irrigation channels.

    When Empire Calls Its Own Gamble a Miscalculation

    Thursday, 12 March 2026 — Weaponized Information

    A Weaponized Propaganda Excavation of how the New York Times launders imperial war through the language of strategic error.

    By Prince Kapone | Weaponized Information | March 11, 2026

    The Tears of the Arsonist

    There is a familiar ritual in the house organs of empire. First the bombs fall, then the panic sets in, and then some respectable publication arrives to tell us that the real problem was not the fire, but the poor planning of the men who brought the gasoline. That is the moral universe of the New York Times piece, “How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War.”

    Prof. Ted Postol: How Iran Blinded US Defenses in 10 Minutes

    Wednesday, 11 March 2026 — Dialog Works Highlights

    A deep technical discussion on the real capabilities of modern missile defense systems. The interview examines Patriot and THAAD intercept rates, the importance of early-warning radars, and how the destruction of key radar infrastructure can disrupt missile tracking and defense networks. It explores how drones and missile strikes have challenged U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf, potentially shifting regional political dynamics. The conversation also looks at the engineering limits of ship-based interceptors and radar systems, arguing that many missile defense decisions were driven more by politics than by technical analysis.

    Wednesday, 11 March 2026 — Danny Haiphong

    The US-Israeli war on Iran has backfired on the aggressors as Tehran launches a new military strategy that has placed Israel under heavy missile fire and turned up the economic pressure on Trump to surrender. Pepe Escobar joins the show to break it all down!

    Day 13: Iranian Missiles Still Flying + Energy Exports Stopping as Global Crisis Looms

    Thursday, 12 March 2026 — The New Atlas

    • At day 13 despite claiming Iranian military command, political leadership, and launcher capacity has been destroyed, Iran averages 20 ballistic missile launches a day, exhausting US anti-missile munitions;
    • Iran is likely pacing itself for a long-term conflict lasting 6 months to even 1 year or more;
    • Even if the US “pauses” like it did last year, the war will continue because eliminating Iran is key to encircling Russia and ultimately containing China;
    • Beware of those blaming “Israel” for this war as Israel is merely an extension of US power in the region like Ukraine is vis-a-vis Russia in Eastern Europe;
    • Shifting blame to a US proxy allows the US to carry out extreme measures without taking responsibility for them up to and including the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of the global economy;

    The Strait of Hormuz, where a fifth of the world’s oil supply moves through a narrow corridor between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. Satellite imagery shows tankers stalled amid GPS jamming as war threatens the oil flows that underpin the global dollar system.

    Washington’s war against Iran, launched Feb. 28 with the U.S.–Israeli assault known as Operation Epic Fury, began with a burst of spending. In the first 100 hours alone the Pentagon burned through an estimated $3.7 billion in missiles, air operations and interceptor systems, most of it not previously budgeted.

    BREAKING: Young people call out social media companies for harming their mental health

    Wednesday, 11 March 2026 — Just Treatment

    *Content warning: self harm and suicide*

    1 in 5 young people now has a probable mental disorder. Over 500,000 children are stuck on a waiting list for mental health support. This is a national health crisis, and it hasn’t come from nowhere.

    Research has shown it’s being fuelled in large part by unaccountable social media companies, who have deliberately designed algorithms which promote harmful content and keep young people hooked.

    By: Kayla Dones | Analysis & Investigative Report

    “Israeli media are reporting that Hezbollah’s ‘ghosts’ are back at the northern borders. In southern Lebanon, fighters are emerging from hidden positions, striking with precision and creating a severe operational crisis for the Israeli army. Conventional forces are struggling to respond to this underground, highly coordinated network, showing how Hezbollah can turn the terrain itself into a strategic advantage.”

    The blockade of Hormuz may break the West. But it won’t break China.

    Let’s cut to the chase: BRICS is in deep coma. Blown up, at least temporarily, by India – which happens to host the BRICS summit later this year. Talk about horrendous timing.

    Tuesday ,10 March 2026 — Struggle / La Lucha

    Washington wants out. Iran isn’t opening the door.

    StraitOfHormuz
    The Strait of Hormuz, where narrow geography allows Iranian forces to use low-cost resistance to stall the U.S. war machine. Despite its “overwhelming force,” Washington’s navy is finding itself trapped in a corridor it cannot fully control — pushing oil prices higher and hitting workers at the pump.

    Eleven days into Operation Epic Fury, Washington faces a problem it created for itself: how to exit a war it cannot win.
