Today, the acting president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, met with the new prime minister of the UK, Andy Burnham, at the Royal Navy’s Portsmouth naval base aboard the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. Zelensky, en route to Washington for tomorrow’s funeral of Lindsey Graham and a meeting with Donald Trump, was the first […]

THE LOGIC OF MIGHT-MAKES-RIGHT SHOWS IT MUST BE ENDED, IT CANNOT BE RESTRAINED

Over the last 30 hours a sequence of reactive events occurred in the grim situation of Southwest Asia, in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which points up the reality that only replacing the might-makes-right conduct of the United States and Israel, not expecting restraint, will end the horrors. This reflects the deadly logic of the […]

THE FATE OF HUMANITY IS NOT YET DECIDED: IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO ACT

“Is the human species capable of governing itself,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche asked in her webcast of May 27, “or are we on the path of potential self-destruction?” This question remains to be answered. The dangerous and very volatile state of the world strategic picture, from the illegal aggressive war against Iran to the deranged continuation of […]

MOBILIZE FORCES TO INTERVENE IN A ‘BREAK-OUT OF REASON’

As of the eighth week of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the world is at a severe point of crisis both objectively—in worsening economic shock; and subjectively—in moral and diplomatic shock. The dynamics are underway for a global depression, with no “if and when” about it, given the chain reactions of shortages of fuel and […]

ILL-ADVISED WAR ON IRAN SHOWS TRUMP IS NETANYAHU’S “MANNA FROM HEAVEN”

The biggest losers in the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran are, sadly, the Gulf Arab States in their entirety, often known as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). For the uninitiated, the GCC is made up of Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman, which played a key role in the peace talks […]

NEW US ENVOY BOZELL’S START IN SA IS UNSAVOURY

South Africa’s fate appears to be like water on the palm of the hand of the US administration. A cursory desktop search has a plethora of examples that shows the utterly lopsided bilateral ties between Pretoria and Washington. It need not be like this. Diplomatic relations between two nations are premised on fundamental ethos such as mutual respect, voluntary cooperation and […]

IRAN IS VICTIM OF IAEA AND US-LED WESTERN DOUBLE-STANDARDS

Apart from the obvious loss of life and the mass destruction of infrastructure, the war on Iran by the US-Israeli joint venture exposes more fault-lines in our beleaguered international system: Double standards. Geopolitics analysts believe that the biggest winner in the military onslaught against Iran is already the Jewish state of Israel, and in particular […]

“WE STAND RESOLUTE IN THE FACE OF AGGRESSION,” IRAN’S EMBASSY IN SA

The devastation of the assassination of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gripped the offices of the Brooklyn cultural offices of the embassy of Iran in South Africa. Twenty-four hours after Israel and the US launched a surprise military attack on the home of the Supreme Leader in Tehran, “martyring” him and several other […]

THE U.S.–ISRAEL STRIKE ON IRAN THREATENS THE WORLD

The joint military operation launched by the United States and Israel against Iran marks one  of the most dangerous escalations in modern Middle Eastern history. It is being sold as a  “defensive necessity.” In reality, it is a calculated gamble which has catastrophic consequences—legally dubious, strategically reckless, and morally indefensible.  This was not an act […]

EVERY INITIATIVE COUNTS AGAINST INCREASED BELLIGERENCE

There are, at present, many points of escalating belligerence in the world. From military confrontation, to financial/economic warfare. This spells both increased danger, especially in the case of the Persian Gulf, where there is the threat of triggering nuclear war, to otherwise needless suffering and chaos, as we see with the horror in the eastern […]

LYNDON LAROUCHE: ‘YOU MIGHT CALL IT NEO-COLONIALISM’

On January 3rd 2026, the United States of America invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its President Nicolás Maduro, and today holds him hostage and is dictating all major policy to the blackmailed government of interim President Delcy Rodríguez. On January 29th, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order, authorizing major tariffs on countries supplying oil […]

WESTERN SAHARA PEACE TALKS – HOW DIRCO LET DOWN PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA

President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered his 2nd State of the Nation (SONA) address under the auspices of the Government of National Unity (GNU). The significance of this was overwhelming. This was only the second time since the dawn of democracy in April 1994 that Mandela’s party, the ANC, has not enjoyed a monopoly on determining the country’s […]
