It is just six months into Trump’s presidency, and he has waged direct military assaults on two countries, Yemen and Iran. Many of Trump’s supporters were surprised by this, for he had campaigned on a platform of ending U.S. involvement in foreign wars.

Last night Trump conceded that the campaign was lost. He order the U.S. fleet to retreat.

On April 17, U.S. airstrikes on Yemen killed 74 people and injured 171 in a dangerous escalation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s war against the poorest country in the Middle East.

At least 38 people, including five paramedics, were killed by the U.S. bombing of the Ras Isa port in Hodeidah.

The real currency of our world is not gold, nor bureaucratic fiat, nor even war machinery. The real currency of our world is narrative and the ability to control it.

The immense cost to U.S. taxpayers of Trump’s assault on Yemen, which promises no results and primarily serves Israel’s interests, could easily reach the tens of billions at the current pace, especially considering the intensity of operations is much greater than under his predecessor.

Over the past year, the United States and Israel have waged a major regional war, coordinated with the Gaza genocide, targeting Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran itself.

U.S. and EU forces have been unable to defeat Ansar Allah and now the U.S. is floating a story that they’re working with Al Shabaab.

The protest movement that has exploded onto the streets and inside the Labour Party in response to British complicity with Israel’s crimes is not a distraction from class politics—it’s the way forward, writes Kevin Ovenden.

A pro-Israeli media institute has theorized that Yemen’s Ansar Allah planned on destroying cables that supply 99% of the world with internet, but these claims were entirely fabricated.

Since November, Ansar Allah has been conducting a blockade of Israeli ships entering the Red Sea in an attempt to force Israel to stop its attack on the people of Gaza. The U.S. government, which has refused to act to stop a genocide, sprang into action to prevent damage to private property, leading an international coalition to bomb targets in Yemen.

Shipping blockade which the de facto authorities in Yemen have implemented to pressure Israel and its allies into ceasing the genocidal onslaught in Gaza.

‘The violent repercussions of Israel’s war on Gaza are spreading across the Middle East, threatening a much wider conflict,’ Stop the War says.

If this is what the “rules-based international order” looks like, would we not, perhaps, be better off without it?

The UK military’s latest bombing of Yemen comes on the 60th anniversary of a forgotten British campaign in the country involving brute force and deliberate attacks on civilians, declassified files show.

What U.S. foreign policy shamelessly amounts to is this: “We make the rules so we get to break the rules.”

In a single move, Yemen’s Ansarallah has checkmated the west and its rules-based order.

Russia is negotiating with the Houthis of Yemen to protect Russian oil cargoes moving through the Red Sea for delivery to India and China, the principal destinations of Russian oil currently traversing the waterway, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden.

John Rees asks whether the Gaza war will engulf the entire Middle East.

In a massive show of support for limitless executive power, Congress rejected legislation that would have terminated national emergency powers allowing Washington to wage war across the Middle East. These same emergency powers give the president the power to lift bans on testing biological weapons on U.S. citizens.
