The Grayzone   On the first day of the unprovoked US-Israeli War on Iran, the Pentagon launched a double-tap Tomahawk missile strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, obliterating the building and slaughtering 155 people — 120 of whom were small children. With the Trump administration still refusing to acknowledge its role in the worst US military massacre since My Lai, The Grayzone ’s Wyatt Reed went to Minab to investigate the scene of the crime firsthand.

Cyrus Janssen   What if everything you’ve been told about the Iran war is completely wrong? While the world watched the United States and Israel launch major strikes expecting Iran to weaken, the reality is unfolding very differently—because instead of collapsing, Iran is emerging with more leverage, more influence, and a stronger grip on global energy markets than ever before.    From its strategic control over the Strait of Hormuz to its ability to disrupt oil flows and impact the global economy, Iran is no longer just a regional player—it’s being recognized as a rising global power.    In this video, Cyrus Janssen breaks down how this conflict may have backfired on the United States, why global perception of Iran is rapidly shifting, and what this means for the future of geopolitics as a new power dynamic begins to take shape in real time.

Times Now World   Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens on Thursday, condemning the interception of Gaza-bound aid vessels by the Israeli navy near Crete and calling on the Greek government to intervene.    Demonstrators accused authorities of failing to prevent or respond to the operation involving the Global Sumud Flotilla, with some alleging “criminal negligence.” Israel said it intercepted 22 vessels in international waters and detained activists, while organisers disputed the account and described the action as unlawful.    The incident has drawn criticism from several European countries and added to tensions surrounding aid access to Gaza. 

globinfo freexchange   Member of the Greek Parliament and leader of Plefsi Eleftherias party, Zoe Konstantopoulou, furiously condemned the fact that an Israeli warship illegally kidnapped activists carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, in a location between Peloponnese and Crete, within the Greek territory.  Konstantopoulou stated that the current corrupted Greek government has become a pawn of Netanyahu's Apartheid regime and connected the fact to the huge wiretapping scandal, as it has been proved that a former Mossad agent sold the spying software Predator to the Greek government. The software has been used by a team close to Mitsotakis, to trap the phones of a large number of politicians (even from the government itself), highly ranked members of the military, journalists and others. Mitsotakis regime has evolved into the most corrupted government since the fall of military junta in Greece, and according to a number of polls, its acceptance rate dived rapidly in record lows, ...

Israel has intercepted aid ‌ships bound for Gaza in international waters near Greece, flotilla organisers said on Thursday, decrying ‌the move as an “escalation of Israel’s impunity”. The Global Sumud Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza ​sailed from the Spanish port of Barcelona on April 12th, aiming to try to break the Israeli blockade. President Catherine Connolly’s sister Margaret Connolly is aboard one of the vessels forming part of the flotilla. The flotilla has said its objective is “breaking the illegal blockade on Gaza and establishing a people’s sea corridor” for food and medicines and other essential supplies. It also claims to have assembled the largest fleet dedicated to breaking the siege of Gaza, with more than 1,000 participants.   Full report:   https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2026/04/30/israel-intercepts-gaza-aid-flotilla-catherine-connollys-sister-is-part-of-organisers-say/  

Al Jazeera English  A spokesperson for the Global Sumud Flotilla has described Israel’s boarding of its vessels as “a straight-up attack on unarmed civilian boats in international waters." Press officer Gur Tsabar, speaking to Al Jazeera from Toronto, Canada, said the sea assault is taking place “hundreds of miles from Israel” with the flotilla being “surrounded and threatened at gunpoint." “This is illegal under international law. Israel has no jurisdiction in these waters. Boarding these boats amounts to illegal detention—potentially kidnapping on the high seas,” said Tsabar. “It’s critical that all governments act now. Every government has an obligation to protect the more than 400 civilians onboard and uphold international law. Silence in this moment is absolute complicity.”
