    China in a Post-Hegemonic Era: Testing the Limits of Diplomatic Power

    Tuesday, 7 April 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

    Ricardo Martins

    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.

    China in a Post-Hegemonic Era: Testing the Limits of Diplomatic Power

    Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent statement calling for the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon—and warning against the risk of the region “becoming another Gaza”—should not be read merely as rhetorical positioning. Rather, it signals a calibrated step in Beijing’s gradual insertion into Middle Eastern diplomacy, reflecting both normative framing and strategic intent, as I will try to explain below.

    War on Iran hits the AI boom

    DataCenterConstruction
    Buildings under construction at the OpenAI data center in Abilene, Texas, Sept. 23, 2025. The AI boom has depended on Gulf sovereign wealth funds to finance construction — the same funds now seeking to exit their commitments as war engulfs their home region.

    The U.S. war on Iran has reached the data centers that power the AI boom.

    Iran AMBUSHES US Special Ops, Trump BEGS for 45-Day Ceasefire | Jon Elmer & Justin Podur

    Monday, 6 April 2026 — Chronicles of Haiphong

    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.

    Day 27 of War on Iran: Why the US is Losing | Ali Alizadeh & Robert Inlakesh

    27 March 2026 — MintPress News

    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.”

    The madness of King Trump

    Monday, 6 April 2026 — Al Mayadeen English

    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.”

    The West vs Iran – Reports From The Ground with Dimitri Lascaris

    Monday, 6 April 2026 — Radhika Desai

    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.

    Struggle – La Lucha

    Arlington
    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.

    Why the CIA conspiracy to invade Iran with Kurdish militias failed

    Sunday, 5 April 2026 — Al Maydeen English

    • Robert Inlakesh

    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

    British Intel’s Secret Lebanese Panopticon

    Sunday, 5 April 2026 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    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.

    USIsrael wipes out music school

    Saturday, 4 April 2026 — InDefence English

    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)

    Pepe Escobar: IRAN RETALIATION IMMINENT

    Friday, 3 April 2026 — Dialogue Works

    A heated discussion examines the escalating conflict involving Iran, describing it as a broader war impacting civilians and infrastructure. The speakers strongly criticize U.S. leadership claims, arguing attacks target critical facilities and reflect strategic failure. They highlight shifting regional dynamics, including fractures among Middle Eastern allies and growing roles of powers like Russia and China. The conversation warns of severe global economic consequences if escalation continues, while suggesting Iran may intensify retaliation. Overall, the interview portrays a rapidly evolving conflict with high risks, limited diplomatic options, and long-term geopolitical consequences

    Friday, 3 April 2026 — Gabriel Rockhill

    Marxlenin Pérez Valdés

    I met Gabriel Rockhill by chance, but not by accident. We were introduced by Helen Yaffe, a dear friend of Cuba, in January of this year during the International Congress held at the University of Havana to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Tricontinental Conference (1966). The current political climate added a unique dimension to the event: those present were standing up to the recent display of aggressivity against our country, which includes the possibility of armed aggression. That is why the meeting was not by accident. It was driven by conviction.

    Geopolitical Economy Hour with Rohit Azad

    Radhika Desai

    Indian growth under Modi is a lie

    Is the Indian economy taking off or tanking? Is India robustly asserting its sovereignty as a full-blooded BRICS country should, or accepting subordination to the US and doing so at a time when, as the whole world can see, the US itself is manifestly in decline, both domestically and in term of the world power?
