Twenty years ago, the US warned prematurely of the ‘birth pangs’ of a new Middle East. Now they have arrived in full force – and they will not end in Iran. Jonathan Cook explains
Although Iran may never have intended to develop nuclear weapons and it certainly didn’t have an active nuclear weapons program, it didn’t need a stockpile of enriched uranium either. That was all that Israel needed to justify its strike on Iran. Nick Kollerstrom explains

Israel running out of missiles: IDF can’t fight off Iran attack after these many days…- US report
A hard-hitting, yet balanced assessment from Scott Ritter. In which condemns Israel as a “criminal entity” for attacking Iran while working in collusion with Donald Trump, who has lost all credibility in the eyes of the world
