M.A. Dworkin The Middle East - After 25 days of continual bombings, missile and drone attacks, over a thousand dead on the streets of Iran, over 80,000 structures destroyed or damaged, and hatreds that run decades deep on both sides spilling over and reaching into the gates of hell, there appears to be some movement for an end to hostilities on the part of the Iranian regime and the Trump Administration. An Iranian source has informed a reputable news agency that there

M.A. Dworkin Middle East - President Donald Trump’s Administration has rejected efforts by Middle Eastern allies to start diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the war that is entering its third week as Iran has demanded an end to US-Israeli strikes before ceasefire talks can begin. The lack of interest for ending the conflict suggests both sides are digging in for an extended battle, even as civilian casualties in Iran mount up and the closure of the Strait of Hormu

John F. McKeon The Strait of Hormuz is the most vital artery in the global energy market, serving as the sole maritime passageway for over a fifth of the world’s daily oil consumption. Nestled between Oman and Iran, this narrow choke point connects the petroleum-rich Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and the open oceans, making it a permanent focal point of international geopolitics. Even a temporary disruption in its shipping lanes triggers a catastrophic spike in energy

M.A. Dworkin Middle East - A senior Iranian security official, Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, warned U.S. President Trump: “The Ashura-loving nation of Iran does not fear your paper threat. Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Watch out for yourself - lest you be eliminated!” Mr. Larijani was responding to Trump saying he would hammer Iran if it blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy point in

M.A. Dworkin Middle East - Israeli military officials claim that Iran has fired ballistic missiles carrying cluster munitions toward Israeli territory, marking the first reported use of such weapons in the current war. Cluster weapons are among the most controversial forms of modern bombs. Their defining characteristic is the ability to disperse dozens of smaller explosives over a wide area. Israeli defense officials claim some Iranian cluster missile warheads can rele

M.A. Dworkin Middle East - In talks leading up to the outbreak of the Iran-Israel-U.S. war, Iranian negotiators openly admitted that they possessed enough 460kg of 60% enriched uranium to build nuclear weapons within two to three years. Trump Administration special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner said the Iranians boasted at the start of negotiations that their stockpile could be quickly enriched to 90% in order to make nuclear bombs. “The Iranians were p

M.A. Dworkin Middle East - The terrorist regime of Iran had its leadership of 40 top generals and officials, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in Israeli and U.S. airstrikes over the past two days. Iran had its air defense system knocked out, its naval capacity virtually destroyed, its nuclear capabilities blown to pieces, its terrorist proxies turning their backs on the mothership, and yet Iran continues to believe that its best course of action is to retaliate with d

M.A. Dworkin Tehran, Iran - In an effort to force regime change, U.S and Israeli forces have launched major airstrikes on several cities in Iran targeting military and Iranian leadership sites in an effort to knock out the terrorist regime’s ability to build nuclear bombs that would eventually be used against American and Israeli cities. Iran has retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israel, and several American and Israeli interests across the region including

M.A. Dworkin Havana, Cuba - President Donald Trump’s worldwide political strategy seems nothing less than formulaic. He begins by tying a U.S. Navy barricaded-knot around a despot-run country, one that he feels threatens U.S. security; and then proceeds, in various ways, to threaten or choke the economic life out of them. In doing so, he somehow succeeds in conquering every tyrant and dictator who dares to get in his way. One of his current targets is Cuba. The US’s 6

John F. McKeon Image: Danish Customs House in the Christiansted National Historic Site on St. Croix The idea of acquiring Greenland is not new. It's been around since the 19th-century and has since been defined by nearly 160 years of US strategic interests, formal defense cooperations, and reoccurring American attempts to acquire the Greenland itself. Some background on Greenland is required. Greenland operates as a self-governing parliamentary democracy. The local governm

M.A. Dworkin Washington, D.C. - New data from the well-respected University of California, Berkeley’s Deportation Data Project, shows that ICE arrests from January 20 to October 15, 2025, indicates that nearly 75,000 people with no criminal record have been arrested. These figures do not include arrests made by the Border Patrol, which has launched aggressive immigration operations in several cities in recent months. More than one-third of the 220,000 people arrested

M.A. Dworkin South America - It all sounds very noble, very American gung-ho, very righteous. The lame-duck President of the United States has declared his own personal war on the Cartels of Venezuela. His stated intent is to wipe out the scum who poison our people, and at the same time to chase out the drug lord’s puppet, the corrupt Maduro regime. It all seems very impressive to pursue a war-like agenda by suddenly stationing fleets of warships in the Caribbean, of
