Donald Trump’s so-called war on drugs strikes again—targeting civilians, treating suspicion as guilt, and producing false positives to inflate results in a war that benefits those at the top.

New testimonies that have been ignored in US media reveal that on March 17, US and Salvadoran military forces attacked an Ecuadorian fishing vessel on the false grounds that it was a narco trafficking boat.

Days later, another Ecuadorian vessel—the Don Maca—was also targeted by US drones.

As their boat burned, the fishermen tried to survive—only to be detained.
They were handcuffed, hooded, and taken aboard a foreign military vessel… while their own ship was destroyed.

For five days, the crew of the Don Maca was declared disappeared — held incommunicado in custody in El Salvador.

These were not the only cases, as we will see in this report.

In the name of the so-called war on drugs, the line between combatant and civilian is no longer blurred — it’s disappearing.

By Oscar Leon

Independent American journalist Ahmad Saadaldin of Prop&Co and Canada's Dimitri Lascaris of Reason2Resist join The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal to detail their reporting from the ground in Iran.

In this discussion, Ahmad and Dimitri recount their visit to Minab, the town where the US military bombed a girl's school and killed 170 civilians in one of the worst American war crimes in recent history. Through their investigation of the site, they learned that there were no military targets in the area, shattering US propaganda.

Vicente Garrido, Vice President of San Martin on Ecuador's border with Colombia, speaks to The Grayzone's Oscar Leon about the bombings of his community's dairy farm by the Ecuadorian military.

After US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth claimed credit for destroying a "narco-terror" training camp, local Ecuadorian media exposed the truth: Ecuadorian soldiers had bombed a farm, then abducted and tortured locals to cover up the attack.

The Grayzone places this incident in the context of a pattern of crimes throughout the US "war on drugs" in the region, starting with the False Positives Scandal in Colombia during the 1990's, when US-trained Colombian soldiers massacred hundreds of leftist opponents and community leaders, then branded them as narco traffickers.

Under President Daniel Noboa, a close US ally demonstrably implicated in the international narcotics trade, Ecuador is using the drug war as cover for the consolidation of a hyper-militarized state which brutalizes social movements and left-wing opposition parties while doing nothing of substance to stop the flow of drugs to the north.

The Grayzone's Wyatt Reed says major questions remain about “Ashab Al-Yamin," a previously unknown group which is now blamed for a series of supposedly antisemitic attacks across Europe.

Why aren’t they targeting countries most involved in the Iran war?

Why are suspects being released on bail?

And why do they seem to communicate like Israelis?
