Thousands of Syrians took to the streets on Wednesday to protest a recently passed Israeli law that authorizes the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners. Protesters condemned the Israeli legislation and expressed solidarity with Palestinian detainees as well as the people of Gaza. The Israeli Knesset approved the law on Monday, which stipulates that executions would be carried out by hanging, overseen by guards appointed by the Israeli Prison Service. The identities of those guards would remain secret, and they would be shielded from legal accountability.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has entered its second month, and despite repeated assassinations, attacks on infrastructure, and growing civilian casualties, Iran has not collapsed. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is threatening to take Iran “back to the Stone Age,” floating the seizure of oil infrastructure, Kharg Island, and even a military reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, all while claiming negotiations may be underway. So what is actually happening inside Iran? Is Tehran looking for a way out, or preparing for a longer war? How is Iranian society responding to mounting destruction and civilian targeting? And what would any eventual settlement mean for Lebanon and the wider region? To discuss all this, Rania Khalek is joined by Foad Izadi, Associate Professor of World Studies at the University of Tehran.

Iran is winning the war that was started by the USA and Israel. This is now admitted even by major Western media outlets. Tehran has successfully destroyed the US military bases in West Asia (aka the Middle East), forcing the Pentagon to operate from Europe.

Journalist and lawyer Dimitri Lascaris just returned from Iran, where he traveled from Tehran to the Strait of Hormuz, witnessing firsthand the impact of the US-Israeli war. From hospitals treating the wounded to the world’s most important oil chokepoint, Lascaris saw a side of this war that Western media is barely covering. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical waterways on earth, responsible for a massive share of global energy flows. But today, it has become a frontline in a rapidly escalating conflict. Trump says only with its opening would he consider a ceasefire. In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek speaks with Dimitri Lascaris about: What he witnessed inside Iran during wartime The situation on the ground at the Strait of Hormuz Civilian infrastructure and the human toll of the war Whether US and Israeli actions constitute war crimes How Iran is responding and what comes next This is a rare, on-the-ground account from inside a country under attack.

The IDF killed a Lebanese journalist called Ali Shoaib and then posted a picture of him in a military uniform on social media, claiming that he was a member of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force. When Fox News asked for the source of the photo, the IDF said: “Unfortunately there isn’t really a picture. It was photoshopped.” “I don’t think they thought that Fox News was going to put that quote on screen,” says Michael Walker on Novara Live.

It all goes back to alienation 🤔  I overheard a conversation in a Seattle coffee shop this weekend that perfectly captured the ideas of "Political Alienation"  When people stop seeing themselves as part of collective change. How power doesn't even need to silence them by force because they silence themselves. #Alienation #Marxism #History #Seattle #Gramsci #Lenin #Marx #PoliticalEducation

Speaking from Tehran, Al Jazeera correspondent and columnist Ali Hashem explains how Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq are all part of a single, interconnected battlefield, a coordinated confrontation between the axis of resistance and the United States and Israel. That means what happens in Lebanon is directly tied to what happens in Iran, and vice versa. Despite months of attacks, Hezbollah remains operational and has restored its ability to strike deep into Israel, underscoring that this front is far from contained. At the same time, the war is becoming increasingly unpredictable. With no clear endgame and contradictory signals coming from Washington, both sides appear to be embracing escalation, what some describe as a “madman strategy”, signaling they are willing to go to the brink with no limits. So what happens when multiple fronts become one war? And what happens when no one is playing by predictable rules?

"They want us to surrender by hunger." Cuba's Deputy Foreign Minister, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, sits down with BreakThrough News to expose the reality of escalating U.S. aggression and the decades-long economic war on the island. He cuts to the core of the conflict, explaining that Washington refuses to accept that "Cuba is and has a right to be a sovereign country” and details how the U.S. is waging "brutal aggression"—from an effective energy boycott to financial strangulation — to force collapse, deliberately "using the Cuban population as hostages" in order to drag the country back to its past as a U.S. neocolony.

As Israel expands its war across the region, Lebanon is once again in the crosshairs. Israeli officials are openly calling for pushing the border to the Litani River, annexing southern Lebanon, and preventing displaced civilians from returning. At the same time, the country is being bombed, depopulated, and pushed toward internal collapse. So what is Israel actually trying to achieve? In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek speaks with Karim Makdisi, co-host of the Makdisi Street podcast and Associate Professor of International Politics at the American University of Beirut. They discuss: -Israel’s long-term ambitions in southern Lebanon -Whether this is a plan for annexation or permanent control -Hezbollah’s actual strength after 2024 -Lebanon’s internal divisions and the role of the army -The risk of civil strife and regional escalation This isn’t Israel’s first invasion of Lebanon, but the stakes may be higher than ever.
