Is Trump's reckless aggression against Iran pushing global economy toward a catastrophic collapse?
TEHRAN- As the United States under Donald Trump has once again unleashed military strikes against Iran and reinstated what the US president calls a "naval blockade" in the Strait of Hormuz, the World Bank has issued a stark warning that the escalating hostilities could slash global economic growth to a mere 1.3 percent in 2026—down from 2.9 percent last year—while reigniting inflation and driving interest rates perilously higher.

Why are American families paying price for Washington's reckless Iran policy?
Renewed Iran strikes spike U.S. gasoline prices, expose energy independence myth
TEHRAN- The United States boasts the title of the world's largest oil producer, churning out over 13 million barrels of crude daily and exporting more than it imports. Only about 8 percent of U.S. imported oil comes from the Persian Gulf. By that arithmetic, one might assume that a military confrontation with Iran would barely register at American gasoline pumps.

A chicken hawk named ‘Lady G’ and the innocent lives spent to feed his imperial sadism
The ledger lines of a closeted warmonger owned by Israel and military contractors
TEHRAN — The announcement blamed sudden cardiac arrest on July 11, 2026, but the heart inside Lindsey Graham had withered into an instrument of imperial sadism decades ago.

The Iran war was intended to remove obstacle to Trump’s new world order
LONDON – It is clear that the hidden objective declared at the beginning of the February war on Iran, namely the elimination of the government through decapitating leaders and creating overwhelming chaos, failed. The reason for the failure is that Iran is a rising power carrying the flame of liberation in the region and seriously defying American hegemony, where no other country dares to do so.

‘Greater Israel doctrine has been the cause of wars in Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran’
TEHRAN – Two senior scholars believe that the absurd and dangerous doctrine of “Greater Israel” has been the cause of wars in Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Jeffrey Sachs, a globally famous Columbia University professor, and Sybil Fares, a senior advisor on government affairs, say this doctrine is backed by secular hardliners like Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish supremacist creed of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir that “God gave the land (Palestine and neighboring Arab lands) to the Jews alone.”

The price of choosing war over diplomacy
HAFIZABAD, Pakistan – For decades, American presidents, despite their differences, avoided a direct war with Iran. They understood that another conflict in the Middle East could drain resources, deepen instability, and pull the United States into a crisis with no clear end. They said no.

10 sobering lessons the war on Iran forced into the open
TEHRAN — Just four months ago, American and Israeli officials and pundits spoke about Iran as if it were a brittle structure waiting to collapse under enough force. They imagined that strikes, assassinations, sanctions, blockades and psychological pressure would force Tehran into surrender. Instead, the war produced the opposite result.

Iran: A civilization that refuses to bow
HAFIZABAD, Pakistan – Iran is often discussed through the language of sanctions, nuclear negotiations, and regional tensions. Yet those headlines tell only a small part of the story.

Why Iran will never surrender the Strait of Hormuz
LONDON — If the Strait of Hormuz were within the territorial boundaries of any great power, it would be considered a national treasure and sovereign asset, and that power would never relinquish full control over it. This is because of its strategic importance, given that around 11% of global trade passes through it and nearly 20% of the world’s energy supply chains transit the strait.
