The Assembly of Experts is a very important institution in Iran. It will hold elections on March 1. This election is crucial because the new assembly may have to elect a new Rahbar (Leader) of the Islamic revolution.
President Erdogan continues to display contradictory behavioural traits. His rhetoric in staunchly pro-Palestinian but Turkey’s trade and diplomatic ties with zionist Israel remain strong. Turkish-Israeli trade has grown amid the Israeli onslaught on Gaza.
While Syria continues to grapple with the disruptive presence of Daesh terrorists, now confined to a small area, Damascus still faces multiple challenges. These include the illegal presence of US forces on its soil and Israel’s incessant attacks on its infrastructure killing both Iranian advisors and Syrians.
Pakistanis will go to the polls on February 8 but the largest political party—Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf led by Imran Khan—faces immense hurdles. Its leader remains in jail on bogus charges and the party has been denied its party symbol intended to hamper its supporters.
Emergence of an expanded BRICS has been hailed as a major challenge to the west-centric global order. Major players in BRICS, however, are not part of the Axis of Resistance and continue to seek a place in the old order.
The conflict in Ukraine had dominated news headlines since February 2022 when Russia launched is “special military operation”. This has now been eclipsed by the Israeli war on Gaza but people in the west have grown tired of Ukraine. They see it as a financial and political burden.
The US-centric global order is collapsing. Countries are beginning to seek their own avenues to protect their interests. This is evident even in Europe that has traditionally been a thinly-disguised US colony.
Even though its lies have been exposed, zionist Israel continues to peddle them shamelessly in order to justify its crimes against the Palestinian people. Western rulers and media are complicit in spreading these lies. We expose them one by one.
Despite the Pakistan army’s relentless war on Imran Khan and his party workers, the former prime minister’s popularity continues to soar. There are now fears that the army might attempt to murder Imran Khan. The people must prevent this crime from being carried out.
Thousands of Baloch youth have been murdered in cold blood. They are accused of being terrorists. Hundreds of others have simply disappeared. Last month young girls and women from Balochistan converged on Islamabad to seek answers about the fate of their loved ones.
General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi claims to have “won” a third term as president. With opposition candidates also rooting for him, Sisi was a shoe-in. Why did he have to go through this ritual and whether he will be able to solve the myriad economic problems that he himself created?
Lest anyone forgets, the American torture camp at Guantanamo Bay is still running. Its population has dropped from 780 at its peak to a mere 30 now. No one has been tried even after 21 years. It shows American barbarism and criminal conduct.
The Ansarallah in Yemen have shown true grit and determination in supporting the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. They have targeted Israeli-bound ships and have increased the cost of shipping to the zionist entity.
Wars are waged to achieve certain political objectives. The zionists have no clue what would come after their genocidal war on Gaza ends. All their calculations have come to naught. It is the zionist entity that is likely to disappear.
South Africa has approached the ICC to investigate Israeli rulers for war crimes in Gaza. The ICC, however, is an imperialist outfit which was not set up to deliver justice. Besides, South African government policy also raises serious questions about its seriousness.
The west’s support of Israeli-perpetrate genocide in Gaza reflects the dying gasps of a decaying empire and the realization that western hegemony is coming to an end.
The zionist project is built on racism. From the proponents of zionist ideology at the end of the nineteenth century to the present day, the one constant is racism. Built on the notion that Jews cannot assimilate in other societies and that they are superior to other people, we have this monstrosity called Israel.
It is impossible to wipe out Hamas (‘Khamas’ in the guttural pronunciation of the zionists.) Hamas is not just an organization, it is an idea that throbs in the hearts of most Palestinians.
Dictators love ‘democracy’ despite the glaring contradiction. Take the case of General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi who wants to go through this farce once again on December 10. Since most political parties have been bludgeoned into submission, the result is a foregone conclusion.
There are two distinct views in Pakistan about its future. One side wants freedom from foreign, primarily American domination. The other side wants to remain American slaves. The overwhelming majority wants freedom but the army is hell-bent on remaining slaves.
