Despite military success, Washington and Tel Aviv have failed to achieve their strategic objectives in Iran: regime change and the destruction of Iran's missile and nuclear capabilities. Read Mohsen Milani's latest analysis on Iran and the Persian Gulf for the autumn issue of @theworldtoday.org.

How will the Iran war reshape the Persian Gulf?
When the fighting ends, America’s predominance in the region is likely to be eroded as Iran reasserts itself, the Arab monarchies reconsider their security – and China sees an opportunity. By Mohsen M...

In June 1966, scientist James Lovelock warned Shell in a confidential memo of “the almost certain fact that the climate is worsening and the probability that the combustion of fuel is responsible.” Shell would later become "a founding member of the denialist Global Climate Coalition." 😑

The piece even refers to the claim that Trump won in 2020 a “lie.” Baker also labels & deconstructs last night's “astonishing spectacle" that featured, “a president intent on persuading the country that its elections cannot be trusted, at least not the ones where he or his allies fall short.”

Black-necked Spitting Cobra in our garden yesterday. Safely caught and translocated to the park... a youngster and VERY feisty! On release, rather than slithering away, he reared up and tried to spit. But the tanks were dry

Britain’s national security adviser, Jonathan Powell, attended the final talks between the US and Iran and felt the offer made by Tehran on its nuclear program was significant enough to prevent a rush to war. Powell thought progress had been made and that the deal proposed by Iran was “surprising.”
