The time has come for Bahrain's liberation

This opinion piece argues that Bahrain's Al Khalifa monarchy is an "occupational tribal garrison" ruling over a Shia-majority population (up to 70%) through containment, with mass citizenship revocations (including 10 toddlers), torture in Jau Prison, and suppression of religious practices. It claims Bahrain serves as a US/Israeli military launchpad, hosting the Fifth Fleet and normalizing ties with Israel against popular will. The author proposes three post-monarchy scenarios: Saudi annexation (rejected), independent republic, or autonomous association with Iran. Justice for alleged crimes is demanded, with calls for military tribunals. The piece concludes that liberation would remove foreign military footholds and align Bahrain with the Resistance Front.

Iraqi resistance: Our response to America is on the way—perhaps in Saudi Arabia

A joint U.S.-Saudi attack on Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) locations martyred at least 20 PMF members and five Iranian IRGC advisors. Iraq condemned the strikes, with Prime Minister Al-Zaidi canceling a Saudi visit. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq vowed a "harsh response," stating: "Our response to America is on the way—perhaps in Saudi Arabia." Saudi Arabia blamed Iraq for drone attacks on its oil facilities, despite Yemen's Ansarullah claiming responsibility. Iraqi officials revealed arrests of Ukraine-affiliated groups operating in Iraq, raising false-flag possibilities. The strikes have unified Iraqi factions against Riyadh, with calls to review U.S. security agreements and expel foreign forces.

Nature in the crossfire of climate inaction and wars

This commentary argues that climate change is worsening due to fossil fuel interests, political denialism, and public negligence—with Spain's PM calling denialism "the worst of fuels." It highlights droughts displacing millions in Iran and Afghanistan, while wars accelerate emissions: the US-Iran and Ukraine-Russia conflicts, plus Israel's Gaza war (estimated at 33 million tons of CO₂e), add to environmental damage. The piece criticizes Trump's rollback of climate policies and Germany's delay of climate neutrality to 2050. It concludes that Earth suffers from corporate greed, geopolitical rivalries, military-industrial interests, and willful ignorance—with nature caught in the crossfire of inaction and conflict.
