  • Larry Johnson: Trump Escalates Pressure, Tehran Sees All-Out War

    Tensions in West Asia are boiling over. Yemen is breaking a 12-year siege, imposing new pressure on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea oil exports. Meanwhile, the US is escalating its military presence with advanced fighter jets, prompting continuous Iranian missile and drone retaliation across Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and US bases in Iraq.

    Despite behind-the-scenes mediation, Iran refuses ceasefire talks that would only allow the US time to rearm. This analysis explores why Pakistan is unlikely to militarily back Saudi Arabia due to domestic public opinion, and why Israel hesitates to join the conflict amid air defense shortages. With key shipping routes at risk, this escalating confrontation threatens to severely disrupt global energy markets.

  • Nima R. Alkhorshid: Yemen Shocks the Region: Immediate Blockade on Saudi Arabia Changes the War

    Tensions in West Asia are boiling over as Yemen breaks a 12-year siege, blockading Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea access. Coordinated with regional resistance axes, this move pressures Riyadh and counters US escalation. Iran continues targeted strikes on US bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, while the US deploys more fighter jets to the region.

    This analysis explores why Pakistan won't militarily back Saudi Arabia, Israel’s hesitation to join the conflict due to air defense shortages, and the severe implications for the global energy market. With the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab under threat, rising oil prices and fuel shortages create immense pressure on Washington, making prolonged war increasingly costly.

  • Prof. John Mearsheimer: Pentagon Prepares for a "Wider War" as Military Build-Up Accelerates
    This interview analyzes the failing US strategy in the Middle East conflict with Iran. It highlights how the US lacks a war-winning plan, suffering from depleted munitions and damaged Gulf bases, forcing a vulnerable retreat to places like Jordan. The discussion covers the collapse of recent US escalations, including attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz, and predicts Gulf states will inevitably seek accommodation with Tehran. It also examines Israel's dilemma: pushing for continued conflict while avoiding becoming a target. Ultimately, this war undermines US global hegemony, distracting from the primary goal of containing China and pushing Moscow and Beijing closer to Iran. A return to negotiations is inevitable, but Iran will hold greater leverage.
