The Hormuz Report Iran has completely ruled out reopening the Strait of Hormuz or entering negotiations until Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are removed from power, according to a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, per WANA News Agency. Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, Khamenei’s political adviser, made the declaration in a message marking 200 days of public presence. “Our fighters will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until criminal Trump and bloodthirsty Netanyahu are removed from power,” Zolghadr said, calling it the “first stage” of Iran’s revenge. The statement sets an explicit political condition for reopening one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. Meanwhile, the national average diesel price hit a record $9.999. Inventories sit at 106.3 million barrels — 13% below the five-year average. Refineries are running at 97.8% capacity with little room to produce more. Diesel has risen 74% in nine months.

Glenn Diesen Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, the former Finance Minister of Greece, and the author of numerous bestselling books. Varoufakis discusses how the EU is a cartel designed by the U.S. that is no longer fit for purpose. The German economic locomotive has broken down; the EU no longer has an economic model, its foreign policy is consumed by war, and it has already become a technological colony. Varoufakis also argues that China can now pull the plug on the U.S. economy if it chooses to do so.

Democracy Now! Did Saudi Arabia play a role in the planning and execution of the September 11 attacks of 2001? That question was raised immediately after the attack, when 15 of the 19 hijackers were revealed to be Saudi citizens, and it has only grown louder in the 25 years since as more evidence emerged of the attackers’ connections to Saudi figures inside the United States.

Geopolitical Economy Report Trump's attacks on BRICS have backfired, forcing China, India, and Russia closer together.

The United States is interfering in the Brazilian presidential elections, pressuring the Brazilian electorate into voting for right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced former president, Jair Bolsonaro. If that does not work and President Lula da Silva secures a fourth term in office, the groundwork is already being laid for a potential military intervention. From sanctions and economic warfare, to coaching influencers and journalists on how best to attack the left-wing government, the Trump administration is doing everything it can to overthrow Lula. Meanwhile, the State Department’s recent decision to designate Brazilian gangs as “foreign terrorist organizations” just as it did with Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, signals a willingness to intervene militarily. Brazil is Trump’s next target, and builds upon recent U.S. and Israeli interference in May’s Colombian elections, where pro-Trump candidate Abelardo de la Espriella won a razor-thin victory. MintPress examines the ...

25 years ago the biggest false flag operation of our time was carried out by CIA and Mossad. Yet, they didn't know then that this operation would set the countdown for the final fall of the US evil imperialist empire. — globinfo freexchange (@GlobinfoF49090) September 11, 2026

OPTM The United Kingdom has just dropped a political bombshell that has sent shockwaves through the occupation regime. In an unprecedented move, Britain—alongside France, Canada, and nine other nations—has banned all trade in goods produced in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband accused settler terrorists of carrying out ethnic cleansing, declaring that the UK would ban imports of all settlement goods and restrict services including financing and construction. The reaction from the occupation's far-right ministers has been nothing short of hysterical. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the immediate expulsion of the British ambassador, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir—in a fit of delusional whataboutism—demanded that the occupation government recognize Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands and impose sanctions on Britain. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are trapped, and they know it. This is the colonial master fina...

Geopolitical Economy Report Liberal feminist icon Gloria Steinem, a close ally of warmonger Hillary Clinton, has passed away at age 92. What many people don't know is that she was a CIA agent. Ben Norton explains how the CIA has cultivated a pro-imperialist, anti-communist "compatible left", who spread propaganda portraying the US empire as a "progressive" force, while the USA oppresses the Global South, waging nonstop wars and organizing countless coups d'etat.

Double Down News In this edition of Double Down Newswatch , host Richard Sanders speaks with Maha Hussaini, human rights defender and reporter with the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. Speaking directly from Gaza, Maha details the escalating danger faced by human rights workers and  journalists. Maha describes the grim reality on the ground: an advancing "Yellow Line" marked by concrete blocks and automated military "lifters" targeting civilians, severe aid blockades and the psychological toll on a population forever displaced.

failedevolution shortcuts The CIA head probably wanted to detect Moscow's intentions in case the US imperialists proceed to the unthinkable: nuke Iran. We can almost say with certainty that Moscow responded openly, sending a clear message that such an action will be received as the end of any official or unofficial deal concerning the use of nuclear weapons. That is, in such a case, Russia will take as a given that it can use nuclear weapons against another country, even inside European territory. Concerning the explosive-laden drone detected at the Leipzig-Halle airport and linked to Russia, it seems that we are dealing with a slopily-designed false flag operation. The timing should not be considered accidental, as the  far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party appears to be winning in the polls with a clear lead.  The AfD calls for talks with Moscow, ending sanctions and cutting support for Ukraine, which is completely opposite to the policy of the current political esta...
