For more than 250 years, the same playbook has been used to prop up toxic vaccines. At long last, we have a chance to end it.
A Midwestern Doctor | The Forgotten Side of Medicine | April 30, 2026
Story at a Glance:
- Since the dawn of vaccination, authorities have habitually doubled down on unsafe and ineffective vaccines, regardless of the pushback they received or the evidence against them.
- Sustaining this has required increasingly brazen methods to censor and conceal the deluge of “extremely rare” injuries caused by an ever-expanding vaccination schedule.
- Senator Ron Johnson, who has worked tirelessly to expose this coverup, recently held a Senate hearing aptly titled: “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.”
- Faced with a tsunami of vaccine injuries too large for anyone to ignore, the FDA and CDC searched for a way to statistically dismiss it, eventually settling on effectively comparing Moderna’s injury rate to Pfizer’s and declaring the vaccines “safe” because there was no major difference between the two.
- When a senior FDA analyst pointed out this obvious flaw and suggested comparing them to less toxic vaccines instead, documents show the entire FDA turned against her to suppress her findings. As a result, dozens of conditions we have all seen the COVID vaccines cause were never officially linked to them—despite the data clearly showing they were.
- The unprecedented damage caused by the COVID-19 vaccines has created a historic loss of trust in the parties who covered it up, giving us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to force them to start telling the truth and end an immunization experiment that has profoundly damaged the health of our society.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has condemned the US war secretary’s attempt to portray the massacre of children in Minab as an “unfortunate incident,” reiterating that the missile strike was “a heinous war crime.”
During hours of tense testimony before Congress on Wednesday, Pete Hegseth described the deadly strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Iran’s southern city of Minab as an “unfortunate incident,” which according to him remains under investigation.
On the first day of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran on February 28, US Tomahawk missiles struck the school, killing 168 people, most of them children.
In a post on X on Friday, Esmaeil Baghaei said that the attack “was not an ‘unfortunate situation.’ It was a premeditated, heinous war crime.” … continue

Iran’s Embassy in the United Kingdom has categorically dismissed any allegations of involvement in violent incidents on British soil.
In a statement on Friday, the embassy reiterated its “position in unequivocally condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including recent incidents within the United Kingdom.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran, it said, “categorically rejects any allegations or links regarding Iranian involvement in violent activities in the United Kingdom.”
The statement followed an incident on Wednesday, when two Jewish men were stabbed in London in what police described as a terrorist act. A man has since been charged with attempted murder in connection with the attack.
In controversial remarks, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Iran of attempting to “harm British Jews.”
His Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, however, countered Starmer’s remarks, saying that it was too early to determine whether the perpetrator of the stabbing had any links to Iran.
“Such baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran lack credible evidence and appear to serve narrow political agendas, aiming to mislead public opinion and distract from the root causes of terrorism,” read the embassy statement.
The embassy further highlighted that Iran itself “has been a primary victim of terrorism for decades.” … Full article

… The Israeli Foreign Ministry on 1 May announced in a statement that the military was releasing 175 abducted Gaza flotilla participants on the Greek island of Crete in cooperation with Greek authorities.
However, Israel refused to release two activists, Saif Abu Keshek, a Spanish citizen of Palestinian origin, and Thiago Avila, a Brazilian with a long history of pro-Palestinian activism. Both are being transferred to Israel as “suspects.”
“Saif Abu Keshek, [is] suspected of affiliation with a terrorist organization, and Thiago Avila, [is] suspected of illegal activity, will be brought to Israel for questioning,” the ministry claimed in a post on X.
The flotilla organizers are calling for pressure on Israel to release the two remaining abductees.
Keshek has been active for the best part of his life in the struggle against the occupation of Palestine. He served as a coordinator for the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in Nablus in the occupied West Bank during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s.
ISM is a Palestinian-led movement committed to resisting the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land using nonviolent, direct-action methods and principles.
During the last attempt by the Freedom Flotilla to reach Gaza in October 2025, Israel abducted some 450 activists before releasing them. The Israeli police and prison officials sexually assaulted and raped one of the activists, German journalist Anna Liedtke. … Full article

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM – A video circulating online has documented a violent assault by a settler on a Christian nun in occupied Jerusalem, triggering widespread anger and condemnation.
The nun was injured in the attack, sustaining facial wounds after being assaulted by an extremist settler in the city.
In response, the French Consulate in Jerusalem strongly condemned the incident, calling for the perpetrator to be held accountable. In a statement posted on X, the consulate expressed its wishes for the nun’s speedy recovery and stressed the need to bring the attacker to justice.
The statement came in reaction to remarks by Olivier-Thomas Venard, director of the French Biblical and Archaeological School in Jerusalem, who denounced what he described as an “unprovoked assault.”
Speaking to Agence France-Presse, Venard said the 48-year-old nun, who works as a researcher at the French institution and prefers to remain anonymous, was attacked when an individual forcefully pushed her from behind into a rock, then proceeded to kick her while she was on the ground. … Full article

Unemployment across Israel has surged to over 16 percent as a result of the wars on Iran and Lebanon – affecting close to one million Israelis and marking the highest unemployment rate since the COVID-19 pandemic.
In March 2026, hundreds of thousands of Israelis reported not working due to economic reasons, Haaretz reported.
“As of March, there were 750,000 Israelis who were unemployed. For comparison, in October 2023, the figure stood at 10.4 percent, with some 467,000 unemployed people. In June 2025, during the first war with Iran, the figure stood at some 10.1 percent,” the newspaper highlighted.
Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic carried out scores of missile, rocket, and drone attacks on Israel throughout the war, which began on 28 February.
Major economic assets were struck, including the Bazan Oil Refinery in Haifa and the ICL Rotem petrochemical facility in the Negev.
Hezbollah alone has fired hundreds of rockets and drones at northern Israeli settlements throughout the war. The Lebanese resistance has continued to launch cross-border attacks despite the so-called ceasefire, responding to brutal Israeli strikes on civilians in Lebanon. … Full article

While officials of the US Trump administration have repeatedly claimed that their blockade on Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is a winning strategy, on the contrary, Tehran thrives. Instead of taking the temporary ceasefire as an opportunity to find a viable offramp, Washington has used mental gymnastics to sell the public on a non-existent get out of jail free card.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has claimed that Iran’s oil industry is creaking under the pressure of the blockade imposed upon its exports, even making rather outlandish comments about the inevitability of oil infrastructure blowing up as a result. While the US seizure of Iran-linked tankers and vessels does evidently have an impact, it is being enormously overblown by an American administration that is out of viable options. … continue

Sovereignty, as defined in international law, is both crucial and complex. In the real shark-pool world of geopolitics, it is not hard to spot: if you have the ability to rule at home and resist attack from outside (any outside), then you are sovereign. Otherwise not. No exceptions.
That’s why Iran has sovereignty, but Germany does not. Iran has withstood two months of a devious and brutal war of aggression waged by the US and Israel, which in turn is “merely” the culmination of decades of assaults levied via economic warfare, assassination campaigns, and subversion.
However, Iran has not only successfully foiled the current Israeli-American blitzkrieg-and-regime-change scenario, but also put the attackers on the backfoot. Tehran’s achievement is already historic. It has changed and will change the course of history.
Germany, by contrast, cannot even defend its own vital infrastructure, as the Nord Stream sabotage and its aftermath have demonstrated. What is even worse, its governments have had no will to do so. On the contrary, they have been rewarding the Ukrainian attackers with untold billions to feed Kiev’s ultra-corruption. Their backers – certainly including the US and Poland, and most likely Great Britain, too – need not worry about any trouble from Berlin either.
Case closed: Iran is sovereign, Germany is not. If you are German and find this uncomfortable, complain to Berlin. … continue

WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram audio messages published by Canal RED and Hondurasgate on 29 April reveal pro-Israel groups “paid” for the release of former Honduran president and convicted drug trafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez (JOH) from US federal prison last year.
“The pardon money … came from a board of rabbis and people who supported Israel, and they had previously supported Yani Rosenthal,” JOH is heard saying in the leaked audios.
Yani Rosenthal is the former president of the right-wing Liberal Party of Honduras. He was convicted in December 2017 of laundering drug proceeds for a prominent Honduran drug cartel.
In 2024, JOH was convicted in a US federal court of three counts of drug trafficking and weapons conspiracy and received a 45-year prison sentence.

Two teenagers have been killed in a Ukrainian drone attack in Russia’s Belgorod Region, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov has said.
The victims were aged 18 and 15, the governor of Belgorod Region wrote in a post on his Telegram channel, adding that the drone deliberately targeted the motorcycle they were riding in the village of Volchya Aleksandrovka in Volokonovsky District. He added that the two died at the scene from their injuries and offered condolences to their families, writing: “This is a terrible loss for all of us.”
Belgorod and other Russian regions bordering Ukraine have repeatedly been targeted by drone strikes during the ongoing conflict. Moscow has accused Kiev of “terrorism” and of deliberately targeting civilians and critical infrastructure.
The drone which took the boys’ lives was just one of dozens Kiev has used to target Belgorod Region this week. On Wednesday, three women were killed when a drone struck a passenger bus in Voznesenovka. Eight others were injured, two of them seriously.

The European Commission wants Google to hand over a forensic-level record of how Europeans use search, packaged into an API and refreshed as quickly as Google itself queries the data.
The preliminary proposal, published as a Digital Markets Act compliance measure under Article 6(11), is framed as helping rival search engines compete. However, what it actually builds is a pipeline that streams the most intimate behavioral dataset on the internet to parties the Commission hasn’t finished naming.
Every query input by end users, including the original wording and any subsequent modifications. That includes timestamps, user location, language, and device type; whether the query came through the Chrome omnibox, the Google app, Gemini, Google Lens, or Circle to Search. It also includes whether it was typed, spoken, or submitted as a photo. Search is rarely just words anymore, and the Commission’s measure captures all of it.
Everything Google shows you after the query goes too, organic results, paid results, Knowledge Panels, Short Answers, plus the contents of every tab from Web through Images, Videos, News, Forums, Books, and Short Videos. Each result carries identifiers for type, format, and position on the page. Ranking data follows the same logic, recording where a URL appeared, which column held it, its ordinal position relative to neighbors, and which page of results it landed on.
The interaction data is where the surveillance turns granular. The API would deliver timing, order, and duration of clicks on URLs and ad blocks, alongside scrolling, hovering, swiping, and the act of expanding results.
Click-back behavior gets logged when users return to the results page after visiting a link, grouped into time intervals. The system tracks how long users viewed each URL or block and how long they remained on a given screen. Paid search URLs are excluded from the click data, a carve-out that protects advertiser revenue while leaving the rest of the user’s behavior fully exposed.
A search query is one of the most revealing things a person produces. People type questions into Google that they wouldn’t say out loud to a doctor, a lawyer, or a partner. Symptoms, debts, fears about a marriage, suspicions about an employer, names of people they’re trying to find. Pair the query with location, device, language, and the precise sequence of clicks and pauses that followed, and you have a behavioral fingerprint that’s hard to mistake for anyone else.
The Commission’s answer to this is “anonymization.” That’s supposed to mean personal identifiers stripped out, precise timestamps removed, and rare or identifying queries filtered.
However, look at how anonymization actually performs in the wild. Research on supposedly anonymized datasets has found that re-identification is usually trivial… Full article

Israeli lawmakers last month approved a sharp increase in the 2026 public diplomacy budget, allocating roughly $730 million to the global messaging apparatus, also known as “Hasbara,” according to a report by the Jerusalem Post on 29 April.
Surveys point to a deepening collapse in international support, as Israel’s genocide in Gaza and continued aggression toward its neighboring countries have sent the Tel Aviv’s reputation into freefall on the global stage.
The funding accounts for more than four times the previous year’s allocation, and forms part of a broader push led by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, who characterized the effort as a strategic imperative, saying it should be treated “like investing in jets, bombs, and missile interceptors” and calling it “an existential issue.” … continue

Britain’s national media fails to recognise the influence – and even the existence – of an Israel lobby, our new media analysis shows.
Declassified researched two years of reporting by seven British media outlets and found only 16 mentions of the phrase Israel lobby without speech marks.
Nearly all those mentions are in comment articles rather than news pieces and none we found expound on what influence such an Israel lobby might have.
The phrase “Israel lobby” – used with speech marks – is slightly more common in these outlets, with 26 mentions in two years, and tends to be used to quote others in a disparaging way or to suggest such a lobby does not exist.
For example, one Guardian article refers to “the trope of the ‘Israel lobby’”. The Daily Mail reported in May 2024 of hecklers at a speech by then foreign secretary secretary David Lammy “accusing the MP of having taken ‘shady money’ from the ‘pro-Israel lobby’ on the grounds that he once lawfully accepted £30,000 from a Zionist lobbyist named Trevor Chinn.” … continue

After “destroying engines and navigation systems,” Israeli forces withdrew, “leaving hundreds of civilians stranded aboard damaged boats, without power, and on the path of a sea storm, in a scene amounting to deliberate endangerment of life,” it added.
The committee accused Israeli forces of “deliberately jamming communications between ships,” disrupting coordination and preventing distress calls, “which exacerbated the danger and placed participants in a catastrophic scenario at sea.”

Three Palestinian civilians were martyred and another one was injured in an Israeli strike in Gaza City on Thursday evening.
According to media sources, an Israeli drone bombed an animal-drawn cart near the Kuwait rotary in the southeast of Gaza City, killing three people and critically injuring another.
Earlier in the morning, medical sources reported that 35-year-old Hanoun Barbakh succumbed to wounds sustained in a previous Israeli attack in the Sheikh Nasser neighborhood of Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.
The body of another martyr was recovered today from a site in the south of Khan Yunis that had been previously bombed.
In central Gaza, seven people were injured, one critically, when a drone targeted a group of civilians near Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah.
A fisherman also sustained a bullet injury when an Israeli gunboat opened fire at him as he was fishing near the shores of Rafah, south of Gaza.
Israel said Thursday it received a new shipment of 6,500 tons of ammunition and military equipment from the US in 24 hours, Anadolu reports.
“Two cargo ships carrying thousands of air and ground munitions, military trucks, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs), and additional military equipment were offloaded at the ports in Ashdod and Haifa,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The daily Maariv said the shipments are part of a “central effort to enhance Israel’s readiness for developments in the war.”
According to the paper, more than 115,600 pieces of military equipment have arrived in Israel via 403 airlifts and 10 maritime shipments since the start of the war with Iran in February.

Despite initial attempts by Donald Trump to establish diplomatic dialogue with Russia on the Ukrainian issue, there are still many politicians in the US interested in taking the conflict to its ultimate consequences. Even among Republicans themselves, there are several “hawkish” figures trying to boycott the peace process and promoting the escalation of the conflict.
In a recent statement, Republican senator Mitch McConnell asserted that the US urgently needs to increase its military assistance to Ukraine. He justified his claims by stating that supporting Kiev is necessary for the US to preserve its status as a global superpower. He believes it is vital for the US to maintain this status, and that intervention in Ukraine is necessary to prevent the US from losing its recognition as a “world leader”.
McConnell harshly criticized the way Trump and the American military are conducting the policy of support for Ukraine. He believes that current US efforts are insufficient, and that the country needs to invest more heavily in assisting the fascist regime. He also stated that it is a mistake to transfer responsibility for this assistance to Europe, since it is up to the US, as a “world leader,” to promote this type of initiative.

When Words No Longer Match Reality
Ashes of Pompeii | April 30, 2026
The gap between what people experience and what the media and their government describes has become impossible to ignore. It starts with the basics. Officials point to improving inflation data, but families see it in their weekly budgets: rent consuming half their income, groceries costing significantly more than two years ago, car repairs deferred because the bill is too high. When the government celebrates economic progress while households tighten their belts, the message isn’t reassuring, it’s dismissive. People aren’t confused by statistics; they’re alienated by the disconnect.
The Epstein case marked a before and after in this erosion of trust. For years, the story unfolded as a slow demonstration that accountability operates differently for the powerful. Flight logs placed influential figures on the same planes as a convicted sex trafficker. Survivor testimony described a network that extended into politics, finance, and intelligence – names like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates or Prince Andrew, the very pinnacle of society. Yet the legal process moved with conspicuous caution: documents released in fragments, key names redacted, prosecutions narrowly focused. When the public saw that connections could delay, dilute, or deflect consequences, it confirmed what everyone already knew: the system protects its own. Its a big club, and you ain’t in it… continue

The geopolitical landscape of the Persian Gulf has undergone a seismic shift following the 40-day US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran emerged from the imposed war not merely intact but strategically ascendant, holding a decisive upper hand over the world’s most critical energy chokepoint.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately one-fifth of global oil trade passes, is no longer a waterway that Washington can threaten, monitor, or control.
It is now firmly under Iranian management, backed by legal codification, military capability, and an unshakable political resolve, as asserted by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei in his Persian Gulf Day statement on Thursday.
The Leader unveiled a comprehensive strategic vision, which seeks to transform Iran’s relationship with the world’s most critical energy chokepoint from defensive vigilance to active and legally codified management.

What is currently being described as a “ceasefire” between Iran and the US is, in reality, something far more fragile and far more strategic: a temporary pause in an ongoing war.
The distinction matters. Because while Washington seeks to frame this moment as a diplomatic opening, Tehran increasingly views it as a recalibration of tempo rather than a resolution of conflict.
This is precisely the point articulated by senior Iranian strategist Mohsen Rezaei, who recently argued that what we are witnessing is not a ceasefire, but a “military silence” within an active war.
Negotiations, in this view, are not an alternative to conflict but something that unfolds within it. The current moment aligns with that doctrine. There has been no political settlement, no structural shift in American objectives, and no evidence that the underlying confrontation has been resolved. … continue

As the US intensifies its inhuman sanctions and seeks to stifle Iran’s economy through an illegal naval blockade, Tehran has made strategic adjustments.
Pakistan formally activated a new transit corridor through Iran on Friday, announcing that the inaugural shipment including frozen meat bound for Tashkent, Uzbekistan had been dispatched via the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Iranian overland routes.
The country designated six transit routes, including multiple key corridors connecting ports and border points inside Pakistan, forming a wide network for overland trade into Iran in a bid to bypass the maritime trade routes in the Persian Gulf.
The order, which took effect on April 25, aims to ease the logjam at Karachi Port and Port Qasim, where more than 3,000 Iran-bound containers have been stuck due to the ongoing US naval blockade of Iranian ports. … continue

The Pentagon’s declared $25 billion cost of the war on Iran is likely a significant understatement of the war’s true financial burden, Bloomberg reported, citing analysts. Senior US defense officials disclosed the figure during testimony at a contentious congressional hearing on Wednesday, outlining the total cost incurred so far.
Calculations by Bloomberg, based on Pentagon data, suggest that the cost of certain munitions, destroyed equipment, and operational expenses alone amounts to around $14 billion. This includes $8 billion for munitions, $5 billion to replace lost aircraft and damaged equipment, and approximately $1 billion in operational costs for deploying two aircraft carriers and 16 destroyers over 39 days of near-continuous strikes.
The estimate does not account for the cost of repairing damaged facilities across the region, such as the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, which has been repeatedly targeted in Iranian attacks. It also excludes the operational costs of all ships and aircraft involved in the military buildup prior to February 28, as well as those currently engaged in the ongoing blockade. … continue
TEHRAN – Iran will respond with long-term strikes to the US attack, even if it is short-term, Majid Mousavi, the commander of the aerospace forces of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said on Thursday.
“We will respond with long-term strikes to enemy operations, even if they are short-term,” the SNN broadcaster quoted Mousavi as saying.
On Wednesday, Axios reported, citing three sources privy to the matter, that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) prepared a plan to conduct a “short and powerful” wave of strikes on Iran as negotiations for a peace settlement stall.

… Gur Tsabar, a spokesperson for the flotilla, described the incident as “a straight-up attack on unarmed civilian boats in international waters.”
Speaking to Qatar’s Al Jazeera network from Toronto, he said the operation was taking place “hundreds of miles from Israel” and that vessels were being “surrounded and threatened at gunpoint.”
“This is illegal under international law. Israel has no jurisdiction in these waters. Boarding these boats amounts to illegal detention – potentially kidnapping on the high seas,” Tsabar said.
“It’s critical that all governments act now. Every government has an obligation to protect the over 400 civilians on board and to uphold international law. Silence in this moment is absolute complicity.”
Tariq Ra’ouf, an activist on board one of the vessels, said Israeli naval forces surrounded the fleet using larger ships and smaller rigid inflatable boats.
“From those military ships, a bunch of smaller military RIBs began surrounding many of our vessels. Drones have been surrounding us and flashing us with lights. And we’ve been getting messages from the Israeli military through our radio, saying that we are breaking international law and that we need to stop,” he said.
Ra’ouf added that the operation unfolded over several hours, while the flotilla was travelling towards Crete in international waters.
“We’ve lost communication with many of our boats,” he said, noting that the flotilla’s communications were jammed by the Israeli military playing music over radio channels as “some sort of psychological warfare tactic.” … Full article

A peaceful Iranian anti-war protester was brutally stabbed outside Downing Street on April 22, 2026, by a group of armed monarchist goons waving an Israeli regime flag.
Yet, as eyewitnesses revealed, British authorities showed more interest in protecting the attackers than prosecuting them – exposing the ugly reality of how Zionist-aligned Pahlavist gangs operate with impunity in the heart of the United Kingdom.
Just before 7:20 PM on April 22, 2026, Mohammad Reza, a father of two, was participating in a peaceful demonstration organized by the ‘Hands Off Iran Coalition’ outside Downing Street. The protest was held to condemn the ongoing US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
What should have been an exercise in democratic expression descended into bloodshed when two men from an anti-Iranian counter-demonstration, waving flags of the Israeli regime and symbols of the deposed Pahlavi monarchy, attacked him with a bladed weapon.
But what has emerged in the days since reveals a far more disturbing picture: the arrested attacker had direct ties to organized Zionist provocateur networks. … continue

WEST BANK – A young Palestinian man, Ibrahim al-Khayyat, was killed on Wednesday evening after succumbing to injuries sustained from Israeli gunfire during a raid on al-Khalil in the southern West Bank.
According to local sources, al-Khayyat had earlier been shot with live ammunition in the al-Hawooz area, near the Islamic Charitable Society building, during a large-scale incursion carried out by Israeli forces using numerous military vehicles. The raid included the closure of the main road and forcing shop owners to shut down amid heavy live fire and the use of tear gas.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that two civilians were injured by Israeli gunfire and another was arrested during the raid on al-Khalil. … Full article

Israeli occupation forces demolished a Palestinian home and a water well on Wednesday in the Barouq area east of Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank, while in occupied Jerusalem the army delivered new demolition orders in the town of Silwan.
Local activist Osama Makhmara said Israeli soldiers invaded the Barouq area with military bulldozers and demolished a 90‑square‑meter residential structure that housed ten members of the Makhamra family.
He added that the army also destroyed a water well belonging to Ibrahim Mohammad Makhmara, leaving the family without shelter and without access to their primary water source.
Residents said the demolition was carried out without prior coordination and is part of a broader pattern of Israeli efforts to restrict Palestinian construction in Area C, where building permits are almost never granted to Palestinians while Israeli colonies continue to expand.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces delivered new demolition orders in Silwan, south of the Al‑Aqsa Mosque. … Full article

A Palestinian paramedic was martyred and two citizens, including a woman, were injured on Wednesday in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, amid ceasefire violations persisting for the 202nd consecutive day.
Medical sources reported that paramedic Ibrahim Saqr was killed in an Israeli airstrike near al-Tuwam rotary in the northwest of Gaza.
They added that a woman was also wounded by Israeli gunfire in the town of Beit Lahia in the north.
Another young citizen suffered multiple injuries after an Israeli quadcopter targeted him in the Sheikh Nasser area east of Khan Yunis.
In related incidents today, various areas of the Gaza Strip witnessed Israeli attacks and violations. Israeli forces reportedly detonated several homes in the east of Gaza City and carried out shooting attacks in different areas of the territory.
An airstrike on eastern areas of Khan Yunis was also reported, amid intense fire from tanks and military overflights in southern Gaza.
In eastern al-Bureij refugee camp, Israeli helicopters opened fire, while Israeli artillery repeatedly shelled eastern Khan Yunis.
Meanwhile, an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a group of displaced people near Wadi Gaza Bridge, as Israeli forces carried out extensive demolition operations targeting homes and buildings in eastern Khan Yunis.
Northeastern Beit Lahia also came under gunfire and artillery shelling, amid heavy military activity in the area. … Full article

The suicide rate among Israeli soldiers is on a continuous rise as Tel Aviv fails to implement steps to improve mental health within the defense establishment, Haaretz reported on 29 April, after nearly 10 soldiers ended their lives in recent weeks.
“At least 10 active-duty soldiers have died by suicide since the beginning of the year, including six in April. Three other soldiers who served in the reserves during the war died by suicide this month while no longer in active service. Two police officers, including a conscripted Border Police officer, also died by suicide this month,” the newspaper wrote, noting a “continued rise.” … Full article

At least ten people, including three rescue workers, have been killed in Israeli airstrikes against residential neighborhoods in southern Lebanon, marking the latest violations of a ceasefire that began on April 16 after weeks of fighting between the Tel Aviv regime and Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported that an Israeli aerial raid destroyed a four-storey building in the village of Jabchit in the Nabatieh district on Tuesday night, killing Mohammad Jawad Bahja, his wife Lotfiya, as well as Amani Jaber and her daughters.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health announced in a statement that at least 13 people also sustained injuries in the attack.
Separately, two successive Israeli strikes on a building in the town of Majdal Zoun on Tuesday killed five people, including three rescue workers who went to help those injured in the initial Israeli attack on the targeted building.
The three Lebanese civil defense rescue workers were later identified as Hussein Ghadbouri, Hussein Sati and Hadi Daher. … continue

A poll published by Israel’s Public Broadcaster (KAN) on 28 April found that a majority of Israelis believe the state has failed to secure victory in any war since October 2023.
According to the survey, 57 percent of respondents said no victory had been achieved, while 28 percent believed success had been reached in at least one arena, and a further 15 percent said they were unsure.
The findings come after more than two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza – which Israel threatens to reignite – during which Tel Aviv waged multiple offensive military campaigns against Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, alongside attacks in Yemen and Syria and a campaign of destruction and displacement in the occupied West Bank. … continue

A close look at the initial American reactions to Iran’s firm positions – laid out by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during his recent tour of Pakistan, Oman, and Russia – reveals one thing immediately: severe confusion and disarray in Washington.
Iran has drawn its red lines with clarity and precision. According to credible sources, Tehran has communicated its positions to all parties on at least two highly important fronts.
First, the exclusion of any nuclear-related issues from end-of-war negotiations. Second, Iran’s decisive and irreversible determination to exercise full control over the Strait of Hormuz.
These are not negotiating tweaks. They represent fundamental demands that reshape the entire strategic landscape. And these uncompromising demands have placed the United States at a crossroads where both paths lead to definitive losses for President Donald Trump. … continue
A senior Iranian security source has indicated that Tehran is preparing what it describes as a decisive and potentially unprecedented response to ongoing US maritime piracy in the strategic waters surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking to Press TV on Wednesday, the source warned that continued US actions, described as a form of maritime blockade, would soon be met with a direct military response. “The continued US acts of piracy and maritime bullying will be met with a practical and unprecedented response,” the source stated, signaling a shift away from restraint toward escalation.
According to the official, Iran’s armed forces, operating under the central command structure of Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, now view continued patience as no longer strategically viable. The source emphasized that a “painful response” has become necessary if Washington maintains what Tehran considers an illegal siege around one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.
Iranian officials are increasingly framing US naval actions as “maritime piracy,” an escalation that reflects both legal positioning and signaling. The source reiterated that Tehran no longer sees the United States as confronting a passive or predictable adversary.
He pointed to Iran’s historical experience in “imposed wars,” arguing that past confrontations have reshaped the balance of expectations. Iran, he said, has demonstrated the capacity to neutralize US strategies through resilience, asymmetric tactics, and strategic patience.
The source also credited Iran’s leadership, describing it as “wise, courageous, and decisive,” in steering the country through prolonged pressure campaigns while maintaining internal cohesion and military readiness.

Donald Trump is eager to find an off-ramp, declare “victory,” and end the war against Iran – but Benjamin Netanyahu is not, leaving Trump trapped, says a former chief of staff to the US Secretary of State.
In an interview with the Press TV website, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson – former chief of staff to Colin Powell from 2002 to 2005 – said that as tensions with Iran simmer following the recent US-Israeli war against the country, a complex picture is emerging of a Washington administration caught between tactical necessity and political traps.
He said the central question surrounding the White House’s strategy is whether the Trump administration is using the lull in hostilities to rebuild its military capacity.
“There is an ongoing effort to replace critical munitions, expedite repair of warships in maintenance, and alert and prepare more land forces for possible action,” he said, adding that this logistical surge extends to Tel Aviv, where efforts are underway to replenish munitions and call up more reservists. … continue

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi has condemned the US-Israeli strikes against 130,000 civilian facilities, houses, hospitals and non-military infrastructure during the recent war of aggression against the country as a war crime and crime against humanity.
Gharibabadi made the remarks in a meeting with President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Mirjana Spoljaric in Tehran on Wednesday.
“In case such a behavior is a testament to the civilization which the United States and the West have been propagating and seeking to impose on others according to their self-defined democracy, human rights and lifestyle, then world nations hate it,” the senior Iranian diplomat said.
Nothing has remained out of international law and international humanitarian law other than hollow terms, he said, arguing that Washington and the Tel Aviv regime have no respect whatsoever for these principles.
Gharibabadi also criticized international bodies for their refusal to denounce US-Israeli onslaught against Iran, as well as their abject failure to take concrete measures to stop the criminal acts of the aggressors. … continue

“The diplomat drew attention to Zelensky’s earlier remarks that Ukraine should be given both NATO membership and nuclear weapons as security guarantees,” TASS reported.
“In fact, he continues to provoke a nuclear conflict with such statements. Moreover, Western Europe risks becoming the first victim of this very nuclear blackmail,” Zakharova stated.
“Zelensky clearly does not want peace. He seeks to prolong the fighting indefinitely and is ready to risk a dangerous escalation of the conflict,” she added. … continue

A recent US Senate hearing has exposed mounting concerns that America’s homeland missile defenses are dangerously misaligned with modern warfare, according to a report.
Assistant Secretary of Defense Marc Berkowitz, speaking before the US Senate Committee on Armed Services during the hearing on the next-generation Golden Dome missile defense system on Tuesday, said that the US relies on a “very limited” ground-based, single-layer defense system designed specifically to counter a small-scale rogue ICBM attack from North Korea.
He emphasized that this architecture provides only “very limited capability” against other ballistic missile threats. Most critically, Berkowitz warned that the US currently has “no defense against hypersonic weapons or cruise missiles today.” … continue

“The United States is a declining power worldwide. It needs to reassert its powers,” Brazilian economics and international affairs scholar Vinicius Vieira told Sputnik, commenting on recently approved Monroe Doctrine 2.0 strategy and the Senate’s refusal to block the president’s power to invade Cuba.
For Washington, establishing greater control over Latin America, especially Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, may seem like an opportunity to start afresh in reasserting its great power status, Dr. Vieira says.
Regime change in Cuba, for example, would not mean independence or democratization for the island nation, “but a return to the status prior to the Cuban Revolution – a protectorate de facto, US territory de facto.”
The problem is, the neighborhood is not what it was 150-200 years ago. Washington’s neighbors “want a relationship based on equal respect and mutual recognition,” and controlling South America may prove “too ambitious” entirely, given linkages they’ve established with other members of the Global South.
What’s more, “the costs for the US to implement this type of policy are quite high…because it depends on coercion, on sticks, no carrots at all,” Vieira stressed. Speaking of carrots, the US has “lost leverage” in this domain vis-à-vis China and its development projects, according to the scholar.
Ultimately, Monroe 2.0 could prove “too costly,” and “rather than bringing the United States to its golden days of hegemony…may just accelerate its decline because of its very high costs in terms of money and reputation,” Vieira summed up.
Press TV – April 29, 2026
Iran’s ambassador to the United Kingdom has dismissed a report by a British newspaper regarding the Janfada (Self-Sacrifice) campaign as baseless and stemming from misinterpretation.
Seyyed Ali Mousavi was reacting to an article published in the Daily Mail during his meeting on Tuesday with UK Deputy Foreign Minister Hamish Falconer after he was summoned by the UK Foreign Office.
The ambassador made it clear that the allegations raised in the report were “baseless” and stemmed from “misunderstanding and incorrect interpretation.”
The Daily Mail had attempted in a provocative report to link the campaign to security issues within the UK, using it as a pretext to create a negative political atmosphere against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Mousavi underscored that the Janfada campaign is an online initiative for Iranians aimed at expressing solidarity with the Iranian people and defending the country’s territorial integrity, and has no connection to citizens of other nations.
During the meeting, the Iranian ambassador rejected any claims regarding the nature of the campaign, stating clearly that the initiative has no violent aspects whatsoever and that the interpretations presented in the media stem from misunderstanding and media-driven propaganda.
The Janfada campaign was launched in Iran to express solidarity and unity amid the US-Israeli war of aggression against the country. So far, more than 31 million people have joined the campaign.

The fight over Iran’s vice presidency at the 2026 NPT Review Conference looked procedural only if one ignored the history that walked into the room with it. The United States, the United Kingdom, speaking for France and Germany, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates objected to Iran’s appointment, yet Iran kept the post after a Non-Aligned Movement nomination and no blocking vote was forced, exposing a basic fact that now hangs over the treaty system. The United Arab Emirates did not merely object but formally and unequivocally disassociated itself from Iran’s election, while citing Tehran’s continuous violations of its safeguards obligations.
That moment is crucial because it revealed a shrinking gap between Western power and Western authority. The states that still dominate military alliances, financial coercion, and media narratives could denounce Tehran in New York, but they could not turn denunciation into institutional compliance, and they could not persuade the wider diplomatic field that their understanding of non-proliferation deserved automatic deference. What looked like a dispute over one vice presidency was in fact a public measure of a much deeper revolt against selective enforcement. … continue

“So far, about 240 attacks on health centers have been recorded,” Zafarghandi said, adding that the strikes left “50 hospitals and nearly 50 emergency centers” damaged.
He also noted that 40,000 people were treated free of charge at health facilities across the country in the recent war. … Full article

Aramco has suspended its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shipments through May after damage to Saudi Arabia’s Juaymah export facility in the east disrupted supplies, according to a report by Bloomberg on 29 April.
The state oil giant informed buyers that exports from Juaymah would remain paused, repeating its 26 February warning that shipments “scheduled for the next few weeks will be canceled.”
That halt traces back to a structural collapse at the facility that occurred before the launch of the US-Israeli war on Iran, crippling one of the kingdom’s main LPG hubs and cutting off flows of propane and butane to global markets.
Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry confirmed earlier that the Juaymah facility was also affected by fires during attacks linked to the war, though the extent of damage has not been disclosed.
Repairs have not been completed, and Aramco has reportedly been unable to carry out the necessary work.
Sources said this means deliveries will not resume even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, leaving buyers without immediate relief.
The combined disruptions have driven prices higher and forced importers, particularly in Asia, to seek alternative supplies. India has been hit especially hard, facing a shortage of LPG widely used for cooking.
Kpler analysts estimate that the facility accounts for around 3.5 percent of total seaborne LPG exports worldwide, making it a key node in global energy supply.
Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan warned that markets may be underestimating both the economic impact of the war and how long it will take for oil and gas flows to return to normal. … Full article

The ministry said that, during period, in collaboration with relevant departments, it made oil and gas the top priority of the new round of strategic mineral exploration breakthroughs, with a cumulative investment of nearly 450 billion yuan ($65.81 billion), and vowed to resolutely ensure that China’s energy supply remains firmly within its own control. … continue

The continued American maritime piracy and banditry in the form of so-called “naval blockade” will soon be met with “practical and unprecedented action,” a high-ranking security source told Press TV on Wednesday.
Iran’s armed forces – operating under the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters as the war command – believe that patience has limits and that a punishing response is necessary if Washington maintains its illegal naval blockade around the Strait of Hormuz, the source said.
He further emphasized that Iran has proven in recent imposed wars that the United States no longer faces a passive or predictable adversary. … continue

The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump opted for economic warfare against Iran as it carried less risk, instead of resuming bombing or trying to exit the conflict. That’s the good news. However, President Trump also instructed White House aides to prepare for an extended blockade on Iran. … continue
