Cort Kirkwood (The New American) U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding that ended the war in Persian Gulf for 60 days until final details of a peace deal are negotiated.

By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Vice President JD Vance told Israeli officials today that they might want to behave themselves even if they don’t like the U.S.-Iran peace deal signed yesterday in France. The reason: American taxpayers are the reason — the only reason — Israel can defend itself. And American tax dollars foot the bill for the war against Iran. He said much the same thing in...

You can sound alarms and experience the horror of realizing just how bad things are — and how much worse they can get. In my youth, such insights drove me.

By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) President Donald Trump said today that U.S. forces will take Iran’s Kharg Island, which handles 90 percent of the nation’s oil exports, and take control of the nation’s energy infrastructure. Such a move would require U.S. ground troops. And, he vowed as well, we will hit Iran “very hard” tonight. The threat came after U.S. forces escalated their attack on...

Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Buried in the U.S. Senate’s 2027 Intelligence Authorization Act is a little-noticed section that, like Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, will further entangle the United States with Israel. Section 622 of the intelligence act orders the president to “expand and enhance intelligence sharing,” with Israel, a dangerous codicil given...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Israel is a major national security threat to the United States, a recent report from the Defense Intelligence Agency says.

By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Israel-first Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee have voted to integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries, a move that will enable the Israelis to steal American military secrets and sell them to China, Russia, and other hostile nations. In approving the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, committee Republicans shot down an amendment...
By Wayne Allensworth You may have read recently that sci-fi neocon Peter Thiel, the trans-humanist founder of Palantir, bought a house in Argentina. He supposedly wants to avoid a proposed billionaire tax in California, might be concerned about nuclear war, could be having nightmares about what might go wrong with AI, or like a number of other plutocrats, maybe he likes the plutocrat-friendly...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Former U.S. counterterrorism chief Joe Kent is warning about the danger of an Israel-first provision in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would permanently entangle the U.S. and Israeli militaries, making them almost one.
