Vietnam taught America the limits of its power. Hormuz is teaching it again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On 22 September, only two commercial vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz. A narrow choke point that normally handles a fifth of the world's daily oil supply, as well as a fifth of globally traded liquefied natural gas, sits almost silent under the watch of multibillion-dollar American warships that cannot convince commercial insurers to risk even a handful of tankers. Washington can still destroy almost anything it targets across the Middle East, but whether that destruction can buy the politic
9/11 at 25: Has the US learned anything from its 'war on terror'? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A quarter century is enough time to separate history from hysteria, consequences from intentions and reality from propaganda. On 11 September 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed in horrific attacks that shocked the United States and the world. The attacks of 9/11 could have been treated as a grave crime requiring an international effort to identify, apprehend and prosecute those responsible. They could also have triggered a serious national debate about why such intense hostility towards the U

Principlists warn that regional mediation could be US trap: Iranian press review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recent efforts by Pakistan and Oman to mediate between Iran and the US have been met with scepticism from Iran’s principlist camp, which views regional diplomatic initiatives as part of Washington’s efforts to mislead Tehran and alter its calculations. The Kayhan daily, an outlet close to this camp, described the visits by Pakistani and Omani officials to Tehran as part of a “new phase in the White House’s deception operation”. This scepticism towards mediation stems from the fact that the US an
Israel probably committed war crimes in Gaza hospital double-tap, investigation finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Israel may have committed war crimes in a double-tap attack on a Gaza hospital that killed Palestinian journalists, medics and first responders, an investigation by The Independent has found. The strikes on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza on 25 August 2025 killed 20 people, including Middle East Eye contributors Mohamed Salama and Ahmed Abu Aziz, and The Independent correspondent Mariam Abu Dagga. The first strike hit Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri as he operated his camera, killing him. Jou
