Iran's Foreign Ministry issues statement after US aggression on Larak Island
🔹The Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the US military strike on Larak Island on Sunday night, which martyred and wounded several Iranian military personnel and civilians, calling it a clear violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.
🔹In response, Iran's Armed Forces carried out "defensive and crushing blows" on US military bases in Jordan, which served as the origin and support for the aggression against Iran, exercising Iran's inherent right to self-defense.
🔹The ministry stressed that the sole cause of insecurity in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz is the "illegal and aggressive actions of the United States and the Zionist regime," which began with the attack on Iran on February 28 and have continued through the naval blockade and other provocations.
🔹Iran warned it "will not hesitate to exercise its right to self-defense" and hold the US and its partners fully responsible for any new aggression.

US-Venezuela oil deal: A 'historic transaction' or 'historic robbery'?
Trump claims a "historic" oil deal giving the US control of 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan reserves. But critics call it "the biggest oil theft in history"—a colonial-era land grab secured by force, not diplomacy, after Maduro's capture. Even opposition figures are revolted. The deal aims to lower US gas prices, but raises urgent questions about sovereignty and international law.

Master Marc Lynch and the decline of empire
Marc Lynch's Foreign Affairs essay admits the US-led Middle East order is finished after the failed Iran war. But the author of this critique argues Lynch still writes like an emperor—prescribing a "smarter retreat" as if Washington remains in control. The real story is structural decline: America may no longer be able to dictate terms, and future presidents could escalate to prove strength, making the post-Trump era even more dangerous.

New Syria: From terror lists to Israeli intimidation
US sanctions on Syria and the HTS terror listing were lifted just after Damascus met Mossad in Jordan—amid reports of major security concessions to Israel. Critics say the new rulers, once hunted as terrorists, now serve Washington and Tel Aviv. With Israeli forces operating freely in the south and Damascus submitting to Israeli security terms, Syria's sovereignty appears sacrificed for sanctions relief.
