Trump’s illusion of Gaza truce is masking continued violence
TEHRAN – Trump’s peace plan masks ongoing Israeli regime attacks on Gaza, threatening a fragile ceasefire. After yet another collapse of what U.S. President Donald Trump heralded as a historic peace deal, it has become increasingly clear that the supposed truce between the Israeli regime and Palestinian resistance forces was a fiction from the start.

Suicide epidemic exposes Israel’s military defeat
TEHRAN – Israel’s war on Gaza, launched on October 7, 2023, with the declared aim of defeating Hamas, has ended not in triumph but in trauma. After two years of relentless bombardment, mass displacement, and regional destabilization, the Israeli government reached a ceasefire with Hamas on October 10, 2025 — a ceasefire it has since violated repeatedly. But beyond the devastation inflicted on Palestinians, the war has exacted a staggering toll on Israel’s own military ranks.
