AI-driven US-Israeli targeting during the 40-day war against Iran relied on outdated intelligence and inadequate human oversight, contributing to devastating attacks on schools, hospitals and other civilian facilities and raising grave questions about accountability and international law.

Iran has permanently transformed the Strait of Hormuz into an instrument of national power following the recent imposed war, rejecting any return to pre-war status while establishing a new mechanism with Oman that effectively ends American naval hegemony in the Persian Gulf.

The Western left’s “politics of purity” can ultimately reinforce the very imperialism it claims to oppose, says a legal analyst, while rejecting the recent open letter published by The Guardian.

In a bid to salvage international law's credibility, South Africa has officially submitted a dossier to the ICJ, documenting Israel's systematic non-compliance with provisional measures through genocide, engineered starvation, healthcare destruction, and mass displacement in Gaza.

The latest US sanctions on Iran repackage the failed “maximum pressure” campaign, despite four decades of Iranian adaptation, Washington’s irreparable credibility deficit, and mounting costs to American consumers and global stability, all of which demonstrate that sanctions have failed to achieve their objectives and are unlikely ever to do so.

Margaret Kimberley argues that the Guardian-reported letter is less about supporting Iranians than about shaping Western public opinion in favor of US intervention and war against Iran.

The Guardian’s open letter wrongly equates the Islamic Republic of Iran with the US-Israeli war coalition, ignoring Tehran’s anti-imperialist record and right to sovereignty while undermining solidarity with a resilient nation facing war and sanctions.
