Gaza genocide and collapse of human conscience
Shame on silence, cowardice and betrayal of humanity
History will record this moment not as a triumph of civilization, but as its absolute moral collapse. In Gaza, more than 70,000 innocent human beings—the overwhelming majority women, mothers, pregnant women, and children—have been systematically annihilated. Their crime? Being born Palestinian. Their punishment? Death under rubble, starvation, and fire. And the world, with all its institutions, governments, and self-proclaimed guardians of humanity, stood by in silence.

Netanyahu’s US tour: A shameful display of collusion against justice and peace
TEHRAN – In the midst of historic global turmoil, an alarming spectacle is once again unfolding: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing for yet another visit to the United States to meet with President Donald Trump. This trip, which comes on the heels of multiple previous visits since Trump’s return to the White House, is not a diplomatic milestone — it is the latest chapter in a troubling alliance that undermines justice, fuels regional conflict, and exposes the United States as little more than Israel’s political enabler on the world stage.

Preparedness is not provocation
Israel, Iran, and the perils of nuclear exceptionalism
GOA – West Asia is once again approaching a dangerous threshold. Israel’s growing readiness for a direct strike against Iran is no longer confined to intelligence leaks, anonymous briefings, or speculative commentary. It has entered the realm of open political discourse, strategic messaging, and military preparation. In global capitals, the discussion is no longer whether Israel contemplates such a strike, but how close the region is to a point of no return—one that could reshape regional and global security in profoundly destabilising ways.

How Iran’s missile program has moved to the center of Israel’s security discourse
MADRID – In recent weeks, a new Israeli security narrative has been taking shape.
