MintPress News | Iran Eliminates US Strategic Targets As Yemen's Shock Offensive Dismantles Israeli Scheme | Aug. 11, 2026

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
The Middle East is heating up on several fronts at once: Iranian pressure in the Strait of Hormuz, Yemen’s Ansar Allah strikes on Saudi-linked targets, contested US military-loss figures, and a still-fragmented Syria.

The stream also covers oil-market messaging, satellite imagery of damaged sites, and how Western powers helped create many of the armed groups now treated as threats.

Watch for signs of further escalation — including US refueling aircraft in Israel and renewed resistance activity in southern Syria and Lebanon. 

MintPress News | Hezbollah Eliminates Israeli Soldiers, Yemen Takes Out 60+ Saudi Proxy Fighters - Iran War Escalates | Aug. 6, 2026

Description:
The US & Israel suffer new devastating blows at the hands of Iran & its allies in Lebanon and Yemen. Israeli soldiers pay the price for occupying Lebanese lands as Yemen takes out over 60 Saudi-backed militants.

It's being called the "Iran War." In reality it is the latest chapter of American imperialism dressed up as "regional security," stoking violence throughout most of West Asia & igniting a much broader regional war.

While carrying out operations to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon, Israeli forces entered a booby-trapped building triggering the explosives, killing at least two IDF soldiers and injuring seven others. In Yemen, Ansarallah, using ballistic missiles and drones, wiped out 60+ Saudi-backed proxy fighters who were mobilizing for an attack.

The Iran War continues to escalate — and this escalation was MADE IN WASHINGTON not Tehran.

On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh connects the dots the corporate media refuses to draw: U.S. arms sales, CIA-backed proxy networks, and a military-industrial complex that needs perpetual war to justify its existence.

Description:
The myth of US military invincibility is shattering on the battlefield.

In this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down Iran's new hybrid missile and drone strategy that is successfully targeting US military bases across the Middle East — while Washington expands its war across multiple fronts. The corporate media is working overtime to spin this as a minor escalation, but the facts on the ground prove the failure of American imperialism. We directly question the motives of the US government and the corporate media that acts as its willing stenographer. In today's episode, Robert explores:

- Iran's development and battlefield use of hybrid missile and drone systems
- The US expanding its strikes on civilian infrastructure inside Iran
- Saudi-US strikes on Iraq threatening a much broader regional war
- Claims that three F-35 fighter jets were destroyed at a base in Jordan
- How corporate media is covering for military failure with propaganda

Stand with independent watchdog journalism.

On today's episode of The Target with Robert Inlakesh - Iran's precision strikes have reportedly eliminated THAAD, C-RAM, and Patriot air defense batteries protecting Israeli infrastructure - a devastating blow to the U.S. backed defense shield. Israel on high alert as Trump threatens massive escalation against Iranian infrastructure — the drums of regime change war beat louder.

Description:
ranian hypersonic missiles struck US command and control infrastructure across the Middle East in coordinated strikes, and the IRGC is now reportedly preparing for a ground invasion against US-backed positions. The era of uncontested American force projection in the region is collapsing in real time.

On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down exactly what was hit, why the shift to hypersonic missiles changes the strategic calculus, and what an IRGC ground offensive would mean for the remaining US presence in the region — and for the global order Washington has enforced since 1945.

This is the story corporate media is already burying.

Robert Inlakesh | Hezbollah Hunts Israeli Commanders - Iran Annihilates F-35 Hangars | June 11, 2026

Description:
The region is on the brink of all out war again as Iran trades blows with the US, destroying its airbases across the region in dramatic fashion.

In this episode of THE TARGET with Robert Inlakesh, we break down the collapsing “ceasefire”, the new Unity Of Squares Equation and the rapid escalation across every front.

An American AH-64 Apache helicopter was shot down by an Iranian Shahed drone over the Strait of Hormuz — marking a new deadly turn with days of strikes on southern Iran & return fire. The US began carrying out waves of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure, but the IRGC hit back hard, launching ballistic missiles at US bases in Bahrain and Jordan. Iran claims their missiles destroyed F-35 hangars at a forward operating base & satellite imagery backs these claims.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah has shifted tactics, targeting senior Israeli military commanders in precision strikes across southern Lebanon. The group's intelligence operations have become increasingly sophisticated, with several high-ranking IDF officers reportedly killed or wounded in targeted attacks.

We analyze how the new regional equation emerged, the timeline of escalation, the credibility of claims from all sides, and what this means for the broader region.

Are we witnessing the opening stages of a direct US-Iran war, or will Donald Trump give in to Tehran’s demands & sign a deal that spells a defeat for Israel?

MintPress News | "This is not a war" - The Conduct of IDF Operations with former Green Beret Alan Shebaro | Oct. 21, 2024

Source: MintPress News youtube



Tonight on State of Play, we discuss how ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, the West Bank, and Southern Lebanon do not constitute the waging of war with former Special Forces operator and Green Beret Alan Shebaro, who has recently returned from the occupied West Bank.

The tactics employed by the IDF are not meant to defeat resistance forces since the resistance will never cease to exist. This “war” has been, from the start, an opportunity to seize land, displace people, and destroy infrastructure, all under the political cover of the United States and its Western allies.

The failure to implement moral consistency when it comes to foreign policy and the blithe disregard for the rules-based order will have long-term ramifications for the United States and Israel.

The world is a less safe place after a year of unmitigated violence. All those who apologize for the genocide and use the conduct of U.S. and coalition forces during the “Global War on Terror” to justify the actions of the IDF are now being intellectually dishonest. This is not a war.

Join us tonight for a conversation between two U.S. Special Operations veterans about the conduct of Israeli forces, their failure to achieve tactical and operational objectives, and what this headless violence means for the conduct of modern warfare going forward.

Welcome to MintCast -- an interview series featuring dissenting voices the establishment would rather silence. I’m your host Mnar Muhawesh Adley.

Within just three months in office amid a global pandemic, the Joe Biden administration recently ordered an airstrike that dropped 1.75 tons of explosives on a town in Syria near the Iraq border. The move is re-inflaming tensions between Washington and Damascus as the war enters its 10th year.

Joining me today to discuss the latest on the ground in Syria is Vanessa Beeley.

Vanessa is an independent British journalist based in Damascus and specializing in Middle Eastern affairs. She is perhaps best known for her coverage of the Syrian Civil War and the Western media propaganda machine drawing up support for a so-called humanitarian war against Syria. -mintpressnews.com
