Around 50 boats, carrying civilian crews and humanitarian supplies for the people of Palestine, are expected to depart in the first week of September from ports in the Mediterranean.

The United States Navy (USN) and Marine Corps (USMC) keep increasing their military presence in the Southern Caribbean, more specifically in the vicinity of Venezuela’s coast. The last days of August saw a significant uptick in their activity, including American warships in eastbound transit through the Panama Canal. Only a week prior, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt stated that US President Donald Trump was “prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into [the country] and to bring those responsible to justice”, also insisting that “many Caribbean nations and many nations in the region” supposedly “applauded the administration’s counter-drug operations and efforts”.

Israeli tanks are now rolling into Gaza City, the last section of the Strip left standing. One by one, buildings are detonated into rubble. Families are expelled at gunpoint. Gaza’s government media office has reported that Israeli forces have deployed more than 80 explosive robots inside residential structures in recent days, part of a deliberate scorched-earth strategy.

For a Leviathan to function, it must remain rational and powerful, Alastair Crooke writes.
Israel’s strategy from past decades continues to rest on the hope of achieving some literal Chimeric transformative ‘de-radicalisation’ of both Palestinians and of the Region, writ large – a de-radicalisation that will make ‘Israel safe’. This has been the ‘holy grail’ objective for Zionists since Israel was first founded. The code word for this chimaera today is the ‘Abraham Accords’.

“We have a moment to act decisively to end the Iranian influence in the region. 2026 is the year to integrate Israel into the region.”
—Lindsey Graham, speaking from Tel Aviv, August 29, 2025
Iran today confronts one of its most complex historical junctures since the Iran–Iraq war of the 1980s. Regional and international tensions are mounting as US, Europe, and the Israeli entity escalate pressure on Tehran within a comprehensive strategy to isolate the Islamic Republic, cripple its economy, and paralyze its regional and global capabilities, through sanctions as well as direct military threats.

Billboard of pictures of nuclear scientists and centrifuges captioned ‘Science is the power’, Enqelab square, Tehran, August 29, 2025There is extremely alarming news about the situation around Iran. In consultations with the Trump administration — rather, in deference to the command from Washington — the E3 countries (Britain, France and Germany) who are the remaining western signatories of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal known as JCPOA, have initiated the process of triggering the so-called snapback mechanism with the aim to reimpose all UN sanctions against Iran on the plea that it has breached the terms of the ten-year old agreement.

Exploiting their impunity, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have once again carried out a deliberate and ruthless massacre against Palestinians, this time targeting a bakery in Gaza’s Al-Nasr neighborhood.
Shortly after, the IOF committed another massacre in the same neighborhood near the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Mosque, which resulted in the injury of five Palestinians and the martyrdom of three others.

An investigation by CNN into Israel’s strike on the Nasser Hospital this week – an attack that killed more than 20 people, including emergency workers and five journalists – is a case study in how even well-intentioned journalism, ostensibly examining Israeli crimes, ends up concealing more than it reveals.

Samar Abu Elouf (Palestine), Mahmoud Ajjour, Aged Nine, 2025.
Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
On 12 August, Samar Abu Elouf, who won the 2025 World Press Photo of the Year for the picture above, posted on her Instagram account that her son’s close friend Sami Shukour had been killed while he ‘went to look for flour to feed himself and his family’. Samar had taken Sami’s graduation photographs just before the genocide began in October 2023. Sami’s family owns one of the most famous companies in Palestine, which made halawa with tahini. ‘Among the best in Gaza’, Samar wrote. Sami, she added, ‘was killed under a hail of bullets; the sound was very terrifying… We are not just numbers; each one of us is a story’.

As China prepares to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory over fascism on September 3, 2025, global attention turns to Beijing’s military parade. Speculation swirls about which world leaders will join President Xi Jinping—Putin’s presence is all but certain, though whispers of Trump attending seem far-fetched. Some peace advocates argue this moment offers a chance for global powers to reflect on World War II’s horrors, a sentiment aligned with the UN Charter’s spirit and urgent amid rising global tensions. Yet, European leaders’ refusal to attend, citing concerns about offending Japan, reveals a deeper issue. China’s commemoration closes the cycle of WWII anniversaries, but it begs a critical question: do we truly understand this war’s global scope, or have we allowed vital chapters to fade into obscurity?
