The swift fall of Syria raises an uncomfortable question – has the Russian intelligence been asleep at the wheel as the protector of the Syrian state? Why hasn’t Russia reacted more strongly to push back the advances by the terrorists? When Iran was attacked by Israel in the most recent exchange in October, Russia clearly... Read More

The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria marks a turning point. Prior to the start of the 2011 civil war, Syrians were among the most highly educated people in the Arab world.

For years, Zionists have backed the most radical elements in Syria
Zionist apologists commonly present support for Israel as a necessary extension of opposition to radical Islam and the threat of Jihadi terrorism. “Support us fighting them here, so you don’t have to fight them there” is a common plea to the West from Zionist spokespeople within Israel. Yet when it comes to the Syrian Civil... Read More

Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign revived his 2016 outsider crusade against the Washington’s military adventures. In his latest run, the president-elect struck a remarkably sober tone on the many conflicts that have erupted in the last few years — which Jewish think-tanks calmly dismiss as baseless vote-getting — though he provided scant details on how he...

Global media outlets are discussing the importance of recent elections in France, Britain and Iran as if they are groundbreaking developments. On the surface, there were notable surprises.

On April 13, Islamic Iran launched a retaliatory strike against the genocidal zionist regime.

The zionist... Read More

The New York Times has just reported that the Pentagon launched a third round of airstrikes against the Houthis in Northern Yemen.

Will the more than 100 Iranians killed by terrorist bombs today be mourned in the West as victims of terrorism? Certainly not.

Tom Cotton and other Republicans who are criticizing the US-Iran prisoner swap and funds release are doing so for only one reason: They want to reap political gains.
