Dear Friends,
I’m writing to you today with an urgent request for support for a crucial campaign that needs our collective help to succeed.
A vital legal effort has launched a CrowdJustice page to fund its important work. This campaign is dedicated to challenging a new uniform policy at Barts Health NHS Trust that bans any visible expressions of support for Palestinians. This policy was imposed following pressure from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).

Amro Allan examines how Iran emerged from 12 days of war with its nuclear program intact, forcing a ceasefire without concessions, an act of strategic defiance that redefined the deterrence established against “Israel” and the US.

In the early hours of June 13, 2025, Israel decisively expanded its war on the Axis of Resistance by targeting Iran directly. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the strikes as a blow delivered directly to “the heart” of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and, consequentially, to the regional resistance project. Justifying this aggression was an IAEA report alleging Iran’s accumulation of 408.6 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, a claim promptly mobilized as diplomatic cover for escalation and aggression.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
The number in the graph above, based on data from the International Monetary Fund, is not an exaggeration. Despite the growing technological and industrial capacity of countries in the Global South, countries and corporations in the Global North continue to own intellectual property patents on key products, locking the South into indefinite patent payment regimes. These include patent payments for pharmaceuticals, digital technologies (such as licensing fees for software and telecommunications infrastructure), and agricultural goods (such as genetically modified seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and equipment). Scientific and technological advances have indeed accelerated in the Global South, with several countries – particularly in Asia – developing sophisticated high-speed rail, green technologies, and telecommunications infrastructure. Yet even in these sectors, most countries continue to pay large rents to Global North firms that own patents on key components.

As Iran secures missile dominance over the skies of Israel. As a third US aircraft carrier group approaches. As Trump calls for Iran’s unconditional surrender. As Trump calls for the evacuation of Tehran. As chatter in Tel Aviv and Washington intensifies about something big about to occur on the 20th, Iran is becoming the focus and the arena for a clash between the major powers.
There are tariffs and there are tariffs. Tariffs applied to a youthful capitalism are to be sharply distinguished from those applied to a geriatric capitalism. The former is designed to catch up, the latter to stop falling further behind. A rising capitalism in an expanding world market can use tariffs as a means of shielding its economy from international competition in order to nurture its own industries until they can stand on their own feet. This is normally associated with state support and the centralisation of capital assisted by the state. On this basis, as in China, it can lead to the emergence of a new independent international competitor though this is a rare event, made even rarer as capitalism develops over time.

Iran just hit Israel with a devastating strike in apparent payback for the US’s attack on its nuclear sites. Israel is increasing attacks on Iran’s infrastructure as well, escalating a war that the US has plunged head first into. This next move could break Trump, however, and Pepe Escobar joins to detail just what that is as well as analyze the huge implications of the US/Israeli march to WW3 against Iran.

The calculus for China, Russia and Iran is that the West is in long-term decline so they win by not being dragged into a possibly disastrous conflict. Russia was forced into a war with the proxy Ukraine due to the impending invasion of the Donbass by the Ukrainian army (presaged by an intensifying artillery barrage and concentration of Ukrainian forces opposite the Donbass), but it had gained eight years in which to strengthen its ability to withstand the inevitable Western attempts to destroy it economically and financially. China has skilfully stayed out of a conflict over Taiwan while its strength builds and that of the US (and its Western vassals) declines.

The recent ceasefire declared between Iran and the U.S.-Israel axis might appear to be a temporary pause in escalating tensions. However, it reflects a deeper geopolitical reality: the Islamic Republic of Iran has not only withstood sustained pressure but, in many respects, has seized the strategic initiative.

Circus Ringmaster chickened out.
He was terrifed by the Strait of Hormuz message.
And by the Al-Udeid warning.
On top of it, the genocidals were already begging Iran for a ceasefire.
Now, true to character, he’s marketing his OWN, branded ceasefire.
Serious questions remain. I’ll try to get some answers in Moscow today before writing a column.
Tricky point: whether Putin proposed a ceasefire, based on what Khamenei said in his personal letter.
That would mean Putin offering Trump an off-ramp.
After all, when the genocidals begged for a ceasefire, Iran said NO.
