    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.

    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.

    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. Returning to his Capitol Hill home from a weapons-peddling trip to Kyiv, the 71-year-old senator from South Carolina collapsed and “died suddenly” in his room.

    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. But Donald Trump said yes.

    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.

    The end of a 100-day war 

    HAFIZABAD, Pakistan – After more than 100 days of intense fighting, the conflict officially entered its final chapter on June 15, when representatives of the United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending hostilities. While a final peace treaty is expected to follow a 60-day negotiation window, both sides have acknowledged that the active phase of the war has effectively concluded.

    TEHRAN – A distinguished professor at American University’s School of International Service says U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth framed the military operation against Iran in explicitly theological terms, invoking “a direct through line from the Old and New Testament Christian gospels to the development of Western civilization.”

    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. Behind the politics stands a civilization that has survived for thousands of years and has repeatedly outlived the forces that sought to dominate it.

The Al Khalifa monarchy, an absolute Sunni ruling elite dominating a native Shia majority, acts less like a sovereign government and more like an anxious security regime.

According to the analysts, the traditional market drivers of supply and demand have taken a backseat to geopolitical forces, with the Iran-US negotiation table now representing the single most sensitive variable for oil markets.

    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.
