Hamas condemned “the performance of Talmudic rituals by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and war criminal Netanyahu, at the Buraq Wall,” calling it “a blatant assault on the sanctity” of Al-Aqsa Mosque and “a flagrant violation of the historical and legal status quo in the occupied city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem).”

The Big Satan doesn't protect the region from the Small Satan
Following Doha attack, Larijani tells Arab states to form ‘joint operations committee’ to confront Israel
TEHRAN – The Israeli fighter jets that violated Saudi Arabia’s airspace on Tuesday and rained missiles on residential buildings in the Qatari capital of Doha was a reminder of how brazen the Israeli regime has got in the past two years. It also highlighted the fact that no country in the region can insulate itself from the regime's violence, even if, like Qatar, it hosts the largest regional American base, gifted the U.S. President a $400 million aircraft, and has poured billions of dollars into the U.S. economy over the years.

Israel, the United States, and the attack on Qatar
MADRID – The Israeli attack on members of the Hamas delegation in Qatar, gathered to discuss a ceasefire proposal, marks a political turning point that goes beyond the immediate framework of the war in Gaza. It was not a mere military act nor a routine operation: it was a calculated move with broader implications. It called into question the validity of diplomacy, exposed the vulnerability of America’s allies, and laid bare that the regional alliance system rests on subordination, not sovereignty.

Reclaiming history: A 14-year war that can't be erased
BEIJING — As China marked a significant anniversary of its victory, The Washington Post asserted that it's "erasing" America's role in the conflict. This claim, however, misunderstands a fundamental truth: the history of World War II has been overwhelmingly shaped by a Western perspective, relegating China's epic struggle to a footnote. The current shift is not an act of historical revision; it is a rightful reclamation of a story that has been forgotten for too long.

How Trump’s ‘drug war’ masks his drive for war against Venezuela
TEHRAN – In the choppy seas of international intrigue, truth can sink faster than a targeted vessel. When the U.S. military destroyed a 12-meter “flipper” speedboat off Venezuela, killing all 11 aboard, President Trump hailed it as a strike against “a Venezuelan criminal organization tied to Maduro.” Scratch the surface, though, and it looks less like justice than premeditated aggression.

CASTRIES – When Liu Yuanyuan shared her grandfather’s story in CGTN’s World War II: Remembered, Reimagined, Retold, she spoke of wounds that outlived the battlefield. Her grandfather, a soldier in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, carried memories of hiding in trees, eating bark to survive, and never seeing his parents in Shandong again. The trauma extended beyond 1945, woven into family stories and even shaping the choices of new generations.
