In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agencyโ€™s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Yes. Most private schools are religious schools of one denomination or another.

The Iranian regime is vile and the attack on them by Israel and the US is a war crime. Much needed clarity on these two realities by Geoffrey Robertson. Solidarity with the Iranian and Lebanese people and condemnation of this latest US Israeli war of aggression is what the world must focus on.

Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Santos, the countryโ€™s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader at more than double recent market rates.

We should be taxing the fuckers into the ground.

So if we want to know why dialysis is being rationed, there's a clear answer: it's so the 311 richest families in the country can enjoy one of the lowest effective tax rates in the world. We're killing people in order to make the ultra-rich ultra-richer

Iranโ€™s regime is vile, but what Trump and Netanyahu have done is a war crime The US and Israel have used the same perverse justification for the attack on Iran that Putin used to invade Ukraine.

No - this isnโ€™t โ€œopinion,โ€ - Geoffrey Robertson AO KC is a former war crimes judge, human rights barrister, and author and heโ€™s unequivocally stating that what the US and Israel did was illegal, and how. Thatโ€™s not opinion - itโ€™s fact.
