  • Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson: How Trump’s Iran Blockade Turned Into Total Humiliation

    Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson: How Trump’s Iran Blockade Turned Into Total Humiliation
    Apr 17 2026
    Experts analyze US-Iran tensions: The Hormuz blockade targeting Iranian oil exports faces challenges as Tehran routes crude via Russia-China. US strategy described as lacking coherence; Iran's missile/drone capabilities exceeded expectations. Secondary sanctions on global oil buyers risk widespread economic fallout. With US munitions low and manufacturing declining, confrontation could trigger global crisis through oil price spikes and supply disruptions. Drawing 1956 Suez Crisis parallels, commentators warn unilateral US actions may accelerate American decline while strengthening Russia-China-Iran cooperation. Growing European hostility and calls for new international institutions reflect shifting geopolitical realities as limits of US economic and military power become increasingly apparent.

  • Paul Craig Roberts: 3 Ways Greater Israel WRECKED the Peace Talks

    Paul Craig Roberts: 3 Ways Greater Israel WRECKED the Peace Talks
    Apr 14 2026
    The interview argues that recent US–Iran negotiations in Pakistan collapsed due to conflicting expectations, with one side presenting new demands while the other expected talks based on its own framework. It claims the nuclear issue is used as a pretext, despite Iran’s stated compliance with nonproliferation rules. The discussion frames negotiations as ineffective, driven by broader geopolitical agendas and regional power struggles, particularly involving Israel. It also questions the feasibility of a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and highlights rising tensions, ceasefire violations, and the risk of further escalation, concluding that lasting peace remains unlikely under current conditions.
