Iran's military leader killed: Qasem Soleimani, top general and one of the most powerful men in Iran, was killed in a drone strike at Baghdad airport early today. His deputy was also killed.
As most of you are aware by now, General Soleimani was the leader of Iran's Quds Force, a shadowy unit in Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Soleimani and his group have been responsible for the deaths of at least 600 Americans, and Soleimani was been
Dressed in black, Iranians from all walks of life flooded the streets to express their fury over Washington's assassination of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, praising him as a "hero
Oil prices surged 4% on Friday following confirmation by the Pentagon that Iran's top commander was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad, raising concerns of a bigger conflict between the two countries that could disrupt energy production in the r
The United States embassy in Baghdad urged on Friday all citizens to depart Iraq immediately, hours after the U.S. killed Iranian Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in an air strike.
Britain and Germany also suggested that Iran shared some blame for provoking the targeted killing that dramatically ratcheted up tensions in the Mideast.
President Trump is swallowing the neocon line on the Iraqi protests at the US embassy in Baghdad, blaming the whole incident on Iran. Suddenly everyone who doesn't want the US military to continue to occupy Iraq - nearly 17 years after an invasion ba

Iran has just made a tragic mistake. When Iranian proxies directly attacked the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, it sent shockwaves across the entire planet. Of course it immediately reminded many of us of the Iranian hostage crisis, and that ep
Iran -- When US politicians comment about the country's adversaries, a an official narrative harangue of disinformation and Big Lies follows so often these figures likely no longer can distinguish between truth and fiction.
At a moment the US struck five supposedly 'Iran-linked' militia bases in Iraq and Syria on Sunday, sending regional tensions soaring, unprecedented four-day long joint naval drills involving Iran, Russia and China outside the Persian Gulf were simult
Iran -- Since 1999, Iran has been falsely designated a so-called "Country of Particular Concern (CPC)" under the US 1998 International Religious Freedom Act.
Iran -- Britain, France and Germany (the E-3) threatened sanctions on Iran over its legal JCPOA right to cease fulfilling voluntary commitments under the deal when other signatories breach their mandated ones -- what its Articles 26 and 36 permit.
Iran -- US hostility toward Iran has nothing to do with its (legitimate) nuclear program, nothing to do with its ballistic and cruise missiles development, nothing to do with an Iranian regional threat that doesn't exist.
Iran -- US war on Iran by other means is all about its refusal to subordinate its sovereignty to US interests, opposition to its imperial agenda, support for Palestinian rights, and Washington's aim to control its vast hydrocarbon resources.
In a sudden "about face," the Trump Administration now claims that Iran is NOT behind the Houthis in Yemen. Has Washington suddenly decided to recognize reality? Not likely. More likely is that the US is trying to help the Saudis out of a lost war. M
Iran -- Overtly in cahoots with US-dominated NATO and covertly with Israel, belligerent Arab leaders called for confronting Iran at the 40th Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit.
