An assault on Cuba needs excuses for hating it. But given that any exchanges between the US and Cuba has been blocked out of the news for decades, it’s a bit difficult for a lot of folks to figure out why they are supposed to hate it and starve the people there. Let’s look through the eyes of those who promote an attack to find the real reasons.

A stunning investigative report by Hebrew-language outlet Ynet has laid bare the embarrassing cataclysm not only of the US-Israeli war on Iran, but the Zionist entity’s effort throughout to end the Islamic Republic via covert and overt military and intelligence operations. Violent Mossad-orchestrated protests, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s murder, and a Kurdish invasion were intended to produce regime change and “total victory” over Tehran. Yet, as Ynet concludes: “what started as a far-reaching Israeli move, rich in imagination, final in its solution, ends in heartache.”

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi discusses the reasons behind Iran’s decision to continue negotiating with Washington despite repeated US-Israeli deceit.

Sunday, 3 May 2026 — Al Mayadeen English
In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi discusses how the extreme heat of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula will be difficult for American forces to handle.
He explains that it is currently May, a transition month, and that temperatures will become extremely high by the end of it, adding that the American armed forces are not prepared for such conditions.
“Their bases are destroyed, and they have brought so many troops and equipment into the region that’s not well protected. So this is not a good time to be an American soldier,”
Professor Marandi said. He also noted that Donald Trump faces a deadline tied to his upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping in China. He explained that if Trump initiates a war now, he would not be able to conclude it before the trip, adding that the visit would likely not go well.

Cubans took to the streets on May 1, 2026, under the slogan La Patria se defiende — the Homeland is Defended. The Central de Trabajadores de Cuba framed this year’s mobilization as an act of national defense. Trump’s Jan. 29 executive order imposed secondary tariffs on any country supplying oil to Cuba, adding what the CTC called an “energy siege” to the commercial and financial blockade Washington has maintained for 65 years.

Spring is well and truly here, and we realise that an update from us is long overdue. So here’s a brief round up of some of the things we’ve been up to so far this year.
From Greenham Common to Just Stop Oil, injunctions have been exploited to stifle resistance to corporate power for decades. In 2023, this “lawfare” against those who resist was given a boost by draconian legislation which opened the door to increased police powers against protesters. Our in-depth report examines the history of the injunction as a tool to protect corporate interests and offers glimmers of hope in the climate of repression.

A manifesto appears, and the media rings the alarm—yet stops short of naming the system that produced it. Beneath the controversy lies a vast machinery linking deportation databases, battlefield targeting, and corporate-state integration into a single infrastructure of control. What looks like a rogue tech firm is in fact the polished interface of a deeper transformation, where software becomes a vehicle for governance and power. The task before us is no longer interpretation, but organization—turning scattered resistance into a coordinated struggle against a system that is already fully operational.

Trump’s criminal attack on Venezuela has thrown Cuba into a tailspin of crisis as the island nation lost access to the oil that had been its most important source of energy in recent decades, making up for the loss of oil from the former Soviet Union. A month ago, with Cuba plunged in powercuts, Trump told reporters ‘“I believe I will have the honour of taking Cuba,” “I mean, whether I free it, take it – I think I could do anything I want.” But can he? Though Cuba is a tiny island nation of fewer than 10 million people, it did not succumb to nearly 70 years of unremitting hostility, threats and sanctions from Washington and it not about to. And the world is changing and (yes) help is on the way. Discover how in this Geopolitical Economy Hour with three sterling scholars of and activists on Cuba, Helen Yaffee, Arnold August and Isaac Saney. Their deep historical scholarship and on the ground experience and knowledge about Cuba is eye-opening.

The impetus to question official narratives is quite logical, given the U.S. history of promoting war propaganda and other lies.

Report say that while President Trump weighs options for bombing Iran or attempting a ground invasion, he is committed to continuing the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. But it’s not just about hurting Iran.. it’s also about attempting to strangle China.
Brian Berletic, a geopolitical analyst and Host of The New Atlas, noted that in the same way the U.S. forced its vassal states in Europe to cut ties with Russia (and its cheap, plentiful energy resources) and to become dependent on U.S. energy, the Trump Admin now aims to do the same with Asia by trying to cut off the flow of energy from the Middle East.
The goal is to make the world energy dependent on the U.S. and to cause chaos and destruction in the growing multipolar world in the process.
