MintPress News | Iran seizes US submarine as anti-ship missiles inflict soldier casualties | Sept. 28, 2026

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
On this explosive episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh covers the dramatic escalation in West Asia as Iran takes control of a US unmanned submarine and anti-ship missile barrages inflict real casualties on American soldiers, as the U.S. brings in another aircraft carrier to the region. This is not a drill — and it is not the story you are being told by mainstream media outlets.

Saudi oil infrastructure continues to take major hits, CENTCOM is no longer commenting on Iranian ballistic missile attacks on their bases & Mossad backed forces in Iraq.

Yemen’s Ansarallah is advancing & the capture of the strategic city of Taiz is near.

Israel is meanwhile aggressing against Gaza & Lebanon, while Hezbollah flies reconnaissance drones along the border in preparation for a large-scale escalation.

Inlakesh provides critical context that the corporate press deliberately omits: the history of US naval aggression in the Persian Gulf, the failure of diplomacy by design, and the devastating human toll on both sides of a conflict manufactured in Washington. From the illegal assassination of General Soleimani to the sabotage of Iranian nuclear facilities to the relentless militarization of the Persian Gulf, Inlakesh connects the dots that the mainstream press refuses to acknowledge. The American working class is paying the price — in blood and treasure — for the ambitions of an empire in decline.

MintPress News | Iran Strikes Mossad Proxies As Yemen Collapses Saudi-Israeli Plot In Dramatic Fashion | Sept. 25, 2026

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
In this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down the dramatic shifts in West Asia that the corporate media is desperately trying to downplay.

Iran has launched precision strikes against Israel’s Mossad proxies, while Yemen has successfully collapsed a covert Saudi-Israeli plot designed to fracture the resistance.

We look at the United Nations General Assembly speeches, Iran’s 5-day ultimatum issued to the U.S., Yemen’s strikes some 2,000km deep into Saudi territory as well as their capture of towns cutting off the road between Taiz & Aden that is the stepping stone to a major victory over Saudi Arabia’s proxy forces.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu also delivered an address to the UNGA, packed with distortions & is perhaps his weakest speech yet. Meanwhile, Iran has been firing missiles towards US targets in Jordan, Iraq & vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Behind every covert plot in West Asia, you will find the fingerprints of the American military-industrial complex. Robert Inlakesh investigates the collapsed Saudi-Israeli operation and Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Mossad proxies, tracing the weapons and intelligence back to U.S. foreign policy—or rather, American imperialism.

We expose the hypocrisy of Western governments who preach "de-escalation" while fueling American imperialism through endless arms sales.

Stand against the war machine. See through the propaganda.

MintPress News | Iran Launches Surprise Attacks On US Bases As Trump Covers Up Soldier Casualties | Sept. 21, 2026

Description:
Iran has launched what it calls preemptive missile strikes on U.S. assets & bases, after insider sources reveal that the Pentagon has been playing down the number of soldiers killed & injured during the Iran War.

The failure of the U.S. war is also being compounded by continuing ground advances by Yemen’s Armed Forces & enormous strikes in Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities. In a panic President Trump reportedly considered launching another wave of strikes against Yemen, but was advised not to open up yet another front for fear of Yemen closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

How many soldiers must die before the American public is told the truth? When will the U.S. Trump administration finally tell the Israelis no & realize it is fighting a losing war of choice?

Meanwhile, working families are left to bear the brunt of skyrocketing gas prices—a direct tax imposed by the military-industrial complex. In this video, we break down the mainstream narrative’s glaring omissions and expose the hypocrisy of a government that sends its youth to die for regime change while lying to the public.

Stand against the war machine. See through the propaganda.

Description:
The Israeli war machine is running out of money, and the US empire is taking hits. On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down the severe warnings from Israel’s own leadership that its 3-front axis could collapse as its army budget falls dangerously low. This comes as Iranian missile and drone strikes in the Strait of Hormuz successfully hit a ship, injuring US soldiers and highlighting the extreme vulnerability of American imperialism.

Robert also brings you extreme battle footage from Yemen, where an F-15 has been shot down, further embarrassing the military-industrial complex. Plus, we expose the double standards of the region: Saudi Arabia playing sectarianism, Syrians escalating protests against economic mismanagement, and the powerful social justice movement in Jordan preparing for a Day of Rage in support of Gaza.

Stand against the war machine. See through the propaganda.

MintPress News | Iran Targets US Warships In Shock Clashes Ongoing In Strait Of Hormuz-Saudi Gas Pipeline Eliminated | Sept. 15, 2026

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
Iran is using new advanced missiles to target US warships & are engaging in clashes in the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran’s missile program expands to make Yemen the second largest missile power in the region.

Yemen’s Sana’a based government is continuing to capture more territory from their Saudi-backed opposition and have managed to deliver enormous economic blows to Riyadh & the global economy. This is also worrying Israel, which is reportedly in talks to participate in a strike campaign alongside Saudi Arabia to inflict a blow on the Yemeni Armed Forces.

Syrians have also taken to the streets in opposition to government mismanagement, as the new leaderships cheerleaders in the West continue to discredit themselves.

When the US parks aircraft carriers and warships off the coast of a sovereign nation, the corporate media calls it "freedom of navigation." When that nation responds to protect its territorial waters, it’s labeled a "shock clash" and an act of aggression. The clashes between Iranian forces and US warships in the Strait of Hormuz, coupled with the destruction of a major Saudi gas pipeline, represent a massive escalation. But while the working class faces the consequences of rising energy prices and potential war, the military-industrial complex is counting its profits.

On this episode of The Target Robert Inlakesh dissects how the mainstream narrative is being manipulated to justify increased arms sales and military deployments to the Gulf. By framing Iran’s defensive posturing as a global threat, American imperialism ensures a steady flow of taxpayer dollars to defense contractors. We analyze the data on US naval buildup and contrast it with the corporate media's deafening silence on the blowback against Saudi Arabia for its complicity in US/Israeli wars.

Trump lashes out on social media, but his desperation to prevent the price of oil rising higher are failing.

Stand against the war machine. See through the propaganda.

Plus, Israeli media are in meltdown over Yemen’s Armed Forces achieving a major victory by capturing the entire West Coast of their country and securing the Bab al-Mandab Strait. 

The corporate media is actively covering up this massive defeat for American imperialism in the West Asia. Robert Inlakesh brings you the facts the corporate media refuses to air.

Robert also takes a look at Netanyahu's fatal inaction regarding the Oct 7 warnings.

Description:
Washington’s imperial agenda is facing a catastrophic reality check, and the military-industrial complex is panicking.

On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down the shocking reality of Iran’s direct exchanges with the US, highlighting Tehran’s newly revealed precision missile and drone capabilities that are successfully targeting American warships.

Robert also covers the multi-front resistance rocking the "Greater Israel" project: Yemen’s sudden offensive to capture the strategic Taiz region, Hezbollah renewing defensive actions against Israel’s war on Lebanese civilians, Gaza’s resistance taking on Israeli-backed ISIS militias, and the explosion of West Bank settler terror. 

Finally, Robert exposes the deep hypocrisy of Western apologists pushing the online debate that Assad was worse than Netanyahu, highlighting how the corporate media uses such narratives to defend US-backed regime change agendas.

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.

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

Source: MintPress News youtube



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

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.

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
