A source in the Iranian Navy announced that the Strait of Hormuz has effectively been sealed off, with only Iranian vessels and ships coming from Iran allowed to pass, underscoring Tehran’s staying true to its words in case of any ceasefire violation.
The source added that just two oil tankers managed to pass through the strait during a brief ceasefire window before “Israel” violated the agreement.

The Western media has shifted much of its attention toward the most recently launched US war of aggression in the Middle East against Iran, but corners of the Western media remain dedicated to shaping public perception regarding many other fronts along the US’ global war on multipolarism, including the ongoing US proxy war on Russia in Ukraine.

As can be seen in the video, the cafe was full of civilians, young and old, as even baby clothes and strollers were left behind after the massacre.

While corporate outlets recycle Pentagon talking points about a “heroic rescue attempt,” after Iran devastated U.S. Military assets MintPress geoplitical analyst Robert Inlakesh helps answer the questions everyone is asking:
Why did Fox News accidentally admit hundreds of US special forces are already operating inside Iran? And how did Hezbollah’s cheap, commercially-available FPV drones just rewrite the rules of asymmetric warfare?
This isn’t just about one mission. It’s about the collapse of US air supremacy, Israel’s existential inability to fight on the ground, and the Gulf monarchies being positioned as cannon fodder for a war they didn’t choose.

Iran’s Jewish community has strongly condemned the destruction of the Rafi’-Nia synagogue in central Tehran following US-Israeli attacks, denouncing the targeting of both religious sites and the country as a whole.

China’s call for Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and its proposal for a multilateral peace initiative signal more than a diplomatic intervention. They reflect Beijing’s gradual emergence as a geopolitical actor seeking to shape conflict management in a context of declining hegemonic coordination and increasing fragmentation of the international order.

Iran just exposed a major US ground operation masquerading as a rescue operation of the F-15 pilot and the consequences are devastating. Now Trump is responding with pleas for 45-day ceasefire while escalating the war rhetorically as Iran hits back for the 98th wave of Operation True Promise 4. Jon Elmer of the Resistance Report and Justin Podur of the anti-Empire project join the show to break down the latest military updates.

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.”

At the opening of the 2026 White House Easter Egg Roll, US President Donald Trump justified the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, claiming it “could end very quickly” if Tehran “do[es] what they have to do,” while alleging that Washington has already achieved a “total regime change.”

Dimitri Lascaris, Award-winning Corporate Lawyer, Activist and Journalist of the Reason2Resist channel joins me for a wide and deep chat on his return from a 10-day trip to Iran during which he felt the pulse of the embattled but brave country and its people. He was already talking to politicians and ordinary people before he became something of a celebrity after his breakdown at witnessing an badly wounded and unconscious child on life support who had lost all her family was videoed and appeared on national TV. Thereafter, people would greet him on the streets, talk and express their thoughts and feelings, about their country, the war and their determination not to give in.

Arlington, Va. — Military funeral honors at Arlington National Cemetery. The New York Times reported that Hegseth’s chief of staff opposed a Black woman general’s appointment to a ceremonial command role, saying Trump would not want to be seen with a Black woman officer at events like this, as the war expands and casualties grow.

Robert Inlakesh explains the historical, military, geographic, and political realities that foiled US-Israeli plans to use Kurdish militias against Iran.
At the beginning of the US-Israeli War on Iran, stories were circulated about the United States attempting to use Kurdish militia groups in order to wage a ground offensive against Iran. Yet the strategy never ended up getting off the ground. Understanding the context helps explain what happened

On March 7th, shadowy British intelligence contractor Siren Associates launched Monitor Lebanon. The “real-time situational awareness platform” is “designed to help individuals and organisations understand and navigate Lebanon’s rapidly evolving security environment.” The tool sifts vast swaths of “open-source information” from “news agencies, verified social media accounts, Telegram channels, conflict monitoring initiatives, and traffic data systems.” Framed as an indispensable resource helping journalists, “humanitarian” workers, local businesses and concerned citizens stay safe as Israel’s genocidal invasion intensifies, the reality is far more sinister.

In the heart of Tehran, where music once filled the halls of the Honiak Music Academy, there is now only silence, left behind by an American/Israeli airstrike. Not a battlefield. Not a military command post. A music school.
This was the life’s work of Hamidreza Afarideh and Sheida Ebadatdoust, built through years of sacrifice, hope, and devotion. Within its walls, 250 students found more than music. They found identity, belonging, and a sense of peace. The gentle voice of the setar and the bright resonance of the santur carried forward a culture thousands of years old.
And in a single strike, it was all erased.
Americans call such attacks precise, calculated, necessary. They lie, as always. These are indiscriminate strikes against ordinary people that tear apart everything they have built. They take livelihoods, memories, and meaning, and reduce them to ash.
And yet, something remains. Memory. Culture. The quiet determination to rebuild, even when everything has been taken. (https://youtube.com/shorts/hgzwZq7anFw?si=KQzODN_zBplO2cbx)
