Just a few days ago, the world celebrated the beginning of a New Year, and already there are serious doubts about whether the world will still be here to see the end of it. As I’ve argued in several previous Pravda.Report articles, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become convinced that most struggles and conflicts in the world are not based on “good vs. evil,” but instead between... 

Although no one died in the Iranian missile strikes on US bases in Iraq, in part due to advance warning from Tehran, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said he personally believed that Iran intended otherwise. “I believe, based on what I saw and what I know, that [the strikes] were intended to cause structural damage, destroy vehicles and equipment and aircraft, and to kill personnel,” Army... 

A number of figures in the alt-media and extreme-left movement have surprised their audiences by rationalizing the Trump administration’s Israeli-directed push towards war with Iran. The consensus between high profile voices on the Zionist “far-right” and anarcho-neocon “far-left” in America and Britain reflect the party line in Israel, where even Amir Peretz of the ostensibly... 

Iran has promised retaliation for the assassination of Qassem Suleimani. Donald Trump said this will lead to a disproportionate response from the US. One side can deliver on its threats, the other can’t, unless it goes nuclear. Iran means business “Our reaction,” Iranian general Hossein Dehghan said at the weekend, “will be wise, well considered and, in time, with decisive deterrent effect.” Dehghan... 

On Sunday, President Donald Trump cautioned that if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets in retaliation for the killing of the high-ranking Iranian general, Washington will strike 52 sites in the Islamic Republic “very fast and very hard”. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and former chief of the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),... 

While most of the not-unhinged world sees the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s IRGC, for the reckless and dangerous escalation that it is, Americans in general walk around looking for post Christmas bargains. They shift distractions from New Year’s Eve to Valentine’s Day on cue, blissfully unaware that they are living on borrowed... 

President Trump’s campaign of maximum pressure on Iran has backfired massively, as the Islamic Republic scrapped its commitments to the nuclear deal and vowed to avenge the assassination of its most powerful battlefield commander. Donald Trump might want to reschedule his planned visits to the Middle East, if he has any, as there is a bounty offered for his head in Iran. According to Al Arabiya,... 

Most Americans did not know Qasem Soleimani until the Israelis found the perfect opportunity to have him assassinated. They gave the Pentagon the orders and kindly handed Donald Trump all the credit while he ate his ice cream and watched it on TV. So far, Trump’s post-hoc rational for murdering the most important military official in Iran is that the protesters who want America out of Iraq after... 

Top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani was killed on Friday in a move that further exacerbated the already tense relations between Iran and the United States. Iran is currently holding ceremonies across the country to mourn the late general. Iran’s Minister of Information and Communications Technology Azari Jahromi has lashed out at US President Trump via Twitter calling him a “terrorist... 

Earlier on Sunday, about 50 members of the UK’s Special Air Service (SAS) were sent to Iraq to help with the potential evacuation of Britons following Friday’s US drone strike which killed Qasem Soleimani, head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)’s elite Quds Force. A UK Royal Navy nuclear-powered attack submarine will be “in position to strike Iran” if the current tensions between... 

Hours after threatening to destroy 52 Iranian sites, President Trump went back on Twitter to brag about two trillion dollars’ worth of ‘beautiful’ US military hardware, which he expects will carry out the destruction. Facing promises of retaliation for the killing of a popular Iranian general whose death he ordered personally, Donald Trump threatened in no uncertain terms to escalate the conflict... 

President Donald Trump has called on ‘millions’ of people in Iraq to resist Iran, as the fallout over US airstrikes on an Iran-backed militia brings Washington and Tehran one step closer to proxy war. “To those many millions of people in Iraq who want freedom and who don’t want to be dominated and controlled by Iran, this is your time!,” Trump tweeted on Tuesday. Earlier on Tuesday, the... 

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has threatened to end the nation’s relationship with the US after the Trump administration declared Israel’s Jewish-only settlements in the West Bank – illegal under international law – legal. “We are ready to go to a complete breakdown of relations with [the US],” Abbas told Russian journalists on Tuesday. He explained that “almost every country... 

Trump has just hit the final nail in the coffin of American-European relations, symbolizing almost a complete and total divorce of America from its continent of origin: Europe. Trump has just imposed trade tariffs as high as 100% on European products, thus cutting and reducing the number of imports from Europe such as Irish whiskey, cognac, Spanish olive oil, French cheese and many other stuff. There... 

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that he claims will help combat anti-Semitic discrimination based on “race, color, or national origin,” as critics say it only shields the state of Israel from any criticism. Citing the “rise of anti-Semitism” on college campuses and elsewhere, the move seeks to apply the 1964 Civil Rights Act to Jewish Americans, and calls on the government...
