I am too depressed, really, to write about US wars – economic, covert or military – against the entire world. I just want to hide under the bed and wait until it is all over. My rhetorical verve fails me: I am dumbstruck.
The USA is, as I see it, a dying empire. As such, it is acting not with wisdom but with desperate fury. I must sadly admit that the empire is far from defeated yet.
At any rate, I am not a geopolitical expert, not a prophet, nor even an investigative journalist. I am just somebody who follows what is accessible to me of “independent” news.
So, for a time, I shall content myself with relaying sources of information and analyses from, yes, experts.
I shall add to the following list, started today 9 march, over the next days.
I start with an analysis of the goals of the US-Israeli attack.
The Wrong Question about the War in Iran
Analysis of Iranian strategy and geo-economic consequences (10 March)
The mainstream media vs reality in the Middle East (Patrick Lawrence) (10 M.)
Una jorden de desalojo (Pepe Escobar) (11 M.)
Mohamad Marandi speaks to Judge Napolitano from Teheran (12 M.)
Responsible Statecraft: Trump’s war is a gift to Iran’s hardliners (13 M)
Peter Haenseler (analysis): The Empire is Losing Control (15 M)
Did you know about the UN Security Council Resolution 2803 of 17 November 2025? I didn’t. It’s a little late now, to ask you to listen to Norman Finkelstein’s lecture about the accursed resolution, but I do so anyway: It is here. While I’m at it, I recommend Max Blumenthal’s conversation with John Mearsheimer, here, where they discuss the role of what John Mearsheimer refers to as “context”. This war is so absurd and dangerous, that we really do need to understand its context.
From general “context” to the nitty gritty of real life: Drop Site is not only a source of some honest to goodness real news; it also decks its pages with splendid photographs.
With this I end my list of sources about the war on Iran.
