Geopolitical Economy Report The US war against Iran is expanding into a regional conflict. Saudi Arabia restarted its war in Yemen against the Houthis (officially known as Ansarallah), the political movement that governs 80% of the Yemeni population. Pakistan and Turkey (Türkiye) have joined the war. Syria supports it. Ben Norton explains how this crisis is growing, why the Donald Trump administration is fueling it, and how it is further destabilizing the oil market and global economy.

Iran is now threatening to directly strike the UAE and target undersea internet cables, data centers and AI facilities across the region if the U.S. and Israel resume the war, warning the next conflict could extend far beyond military targets, per Press TV. Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaee warned: “If another war breaks out, many cables, data centers, artificial intelligence facilities, and other sites in the region will be destroyed and we will confront the enemy with a much broader and more extensive plan.” He added that U.S. assets in the UAE and around the Strait of Hormuz remain “extremely valuable” but are not yet on Iran’s target list, claiming regional cables, data centers and AI facilities are worth over $2 trillion. The threat puts major U.S. tech firms including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle and Nvidia in focus. AWS has reported damage to facilities in Bahrain and the UAE, while the IRGC has already designated 18 U.S. tech companies as “legitimat...

BreakThrough News French students shut down 1,800 schools and brought more than 450,000 people to the streets Tuesday, as the nationwide youth revolt grows against Macron austerity. Danièle Obono, La France Insoumise MP in the French National Assembly, joins Zoe Alexandra and Rania Khalek to unpack how one protest in Saint-Denis over teacher shortages and overcrowded classrooms has transformed into a movement that’s shaking Paris to its core.  Obono lays out a decade of neoliberal attacks on public education under Macron's austerity agenda, and explains why the viral video of Saint-Denis Mayor Bally Bagayoko shielding students from riot police has transformed him into a symbol of solidarity for young and working-class people across France. And she responds to Trump's claims that immigrants and Islam are behind the rebellion; Obono argues that a growing movement of working-class youth from diverse neighborhoods singing "La Marseillaise" and demanding their rights is th...

DRM News South African jurist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay has reportedly won the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her work investigating human rights violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and allegations of genocide in Gaza.

BreakThrough News Saudi Arabia has $142 billion in American weapons. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. So why can't Riyadh win? Last month, Ansar Allah seized Mokha and Perim Island, and with them the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, cutting off Saudi Arabia's alternative oil route around the closed Strait of Hormuz. Mohammed bin Salman begged Trump for US airstrikes, then backed "Dawn of Yemen," a 100-warplane offensive aimed at Sanaa, as crude oil again tops $100 a barrel. Veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra on the Red Sea front, as nearly 1,000 Yemenis have been killed and 184,000 displaced since fighting resumed. But Magnier argues Ansar Allah – often referred to in US media as the Houthis – hasn't lost much ground. He explains why Saudi warplanes are largely powerless in Yemen's mountainous terrain, and why he sees the movement advancing on Taiz and Marib. And Magnier breaks down how Hormuz and Bab ...
