Appeasing the White House at all costs indulges little but a sentimental notion of a US-Australia relationship that no longer existsAs the on Iran spreads its treacherous dangers virus-like across the globe, Australia, despite its limp rhetoric of non-involvement, risks increasing ensnarement in a hyper-macho Trump folly with no apparent endgame.Call it US-Australia Alliance management. Call it an obsequious maintenance at all costs of the reckless submarine security pact. Or call it what it more closely resembles – appeasement of a belligerent US administration hell-bent on reiterating its global domination at any cost. Regardless, Australia’s passive refusal to challenge the US and Israel on everything from the illegality of the murderous bombing of Iran to the war’s opaque objectives, draws us closer to the danger daily.
By supporting US strikes on Iran, Australia could become a target, experts warn.

As the Iran disaster escalates, Starmer should treat the US president as someone whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhereNine days in, the conduct of the unjustified, illegal grows ever-more disproportionate, dishonourable and deranged. The off Sri Lanka by a US submarine demonstrated that for reckless Donald Trump, the whole world is his battlefield. Diplomacy, treacherously sabotaged by Washington, has been replaced by unceasing airstrikes that are murdering and maiming hundreds of Iranian civilians. Trump’s White House increasingly resembles a madhouse. War aims shift daily. A clueless, rambling president Iran’s next ayatollah. Meanwhile, his “secretary for war”, Pete Hegseth, rants manically about killing without mercy.Nine days in, it’s clear Iran’s leaders, those who survive, are not going to roll over in a repeat of Trump’s Venezuela coup. Their forces, though drastically outgunned, are succeeding in , inundating defences with waves of drones and missiles. That’s no surprise. Iran if attacked again. Trump is now at war with US allies, too, having adopted George W Bush’s crude Iraq war “for us or against us” maxim. The Gulf Arabs – and cruelly battered Lebanon – just want it to stop. Britain and Europe mostly want no part of it, but are being sucked in anyway. The global economy is tumbling into crisis. In Trump’s war on the world, there are no heroes, only victims. Spain’s defiant leader, .
Iran experts believe the symbolism of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death is overwhelming and that the regime will struggle to fill the power vacuumEven before US and Israeli missiles began raining down, those sensing the winds of change were forecasting a Berlin Wall moment for Iran.Mass nationwide demonstrations in January – although savagely repressed, causing the deaths of an estimated tens of thousands – were seen as portents of a reckoning for the country’s ruling theocrats, just as the popular breaching of Berlin’s fearful symbol of Europe’s cold war division spelled the downfall of East Germany’s communist regime in 1989.

While there are similarities with the wars against Iraq, the Iran conflict may prove to be the most dangerous and consequential yetThis is the third Gulf war and umpteenth outbreak of conflict since the United States took over as the dominant power and influence in the Middle East at the end of the cold war. And it is arguably the most dangerous, consequential and confused of them all.The destruction and chaos spreading across the region confirms the Middle East’s status as the world’s pre-eminent crisis factory, but it also raises questions as to how US presidents so often declare they are ending US interference in the region, only to be lured back in.
Iran war sends shockwaves across global stock markets as crude oil price surges past $114 per barrel
THE US-Israeli assault on Iran has sparked a regional conflict which has plunged the Middle East into chaos. The widening war has engulfed the entire region and has global consequences. Israel has also launched attacks in Lebanon. Washington’s war of choice has exposed Gulf states to retaliatory attacks by Iran, which have inflicted widespread damage. If President Donald Trump thought military action against Iran would be a quick win leading to regime collapse that hasn’t happened — as if governments can be toppled from the air. His administration certainly did not expect Iran’s fierce response and its painful blows to GCC countries.

Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflictBrash and bellicose, he sounded more like a cartoon bully than a sombre statesman. “Death and destruction from the sky all day long,” Pete Hegseth, wearing a red, white and and blue tie and pocket square, near Washington. “This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.”Hegseth, 45, a former Fox News TV host who now commands the world’s most powerful military, has this week become the face of Donald Trump’s war in Iran. That has set off for alarm bells for critics who warn that the Secretary of Defense – pointedly rebranded “” – has rapidly transformed the Pentagon into the staging ground for an ideological and religious crusade.
