In der internationalen Berichterstattung wird das Ergebnis ĂŒberwiegend als militĂ€rischer Erfolg AnsarAllahs dargestellt. Ein genauerer Blick auf die von CNN rekonstruierten AblĂ€ufe zeigt jedoch ein anderes Bild: weniger einen Sieg der einen Seite als einen aussergewöhnlichen Zusammenbruch der anderen â mit direkter saudischer und US-amerikanischer Beteiligung an diesem Zusammenbruch.

The Democrats who arenât criticizing John Fetterman
Sen. John Fetterman has faced a tide of public criticism from fellow Democrats as he stakes out lonely ground as a critic of the far-left wing of his party â and another wave rolled in Wednesday after he made a surprise video appearance at the Republican midterm convention.
So far, however, his Senate colleagues havenât joined the pile-on.
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman appears in surprise video at GOP midterm convention
In the roughly one-minute video introducing McCormick on stage, Fetterman made clear that he is still a Democrat. But took aim at the rise of âsocialismâ in his own party â a notable and public rebuke to the Democratsâ left flank.
âYes, Iâm a Democrat. Why am I here talking to you today? Because well, Iâm a common sense Democrat. Iâm always going to stand with America. Iâm always going to reject the extremes and socialism and that anti-American way of life,â Fetterman said in the pre-recorded video.
âTrump Did It!â: At $5.85 a Gallon, Diesel Price Hits All-Time High in US Thanks to War on Iran
The average price for a gallon of diesel fuel in the United States hit an all-time high average price of $5.85 on Friday as the Trump administrationâs war on Iran and its resulting disruptions to the global energy market showed no signs of ending.
âBeyond Parodyâ: Critics Left Stunned by Revelations in Shocking WSJ Report on John Fetterman
Critics were shocked by the numerous allegations in The Wall Street Journalâs bombshell report on Sen. John Fettermanâs (D-PA) behind-the-scenes behavior, with one calling the Pennsylvania Congressmanâs actions âbeyond parody.â
âToo lazy to do the jobâ: Democrats dump on Fetterman after WSJ report
A swath of Democrats denounced Sen. John Fetterman in the aftermath of a Wall Street Journal report that showed the Pennsylvania Democrat routinely ducking meetings with constituents, skirting committee hearings and contemplating skipping a police funeral in his home state.
Mind-Blowing Real Life of MAGAâs Favorite Dem Exposed
Fettermanâs staff had to inform the veterans, after they arrived in D.C. from rural Pennsylvania in June, that the Democrat could not make their long-awaited meeting to discuss legislation to improve their care because he was not feeling well.
Fetterman told his staff he may have eaten something bad, and his team held the meeting instead. However, less than an hour later, Fetterman walked into his D.C. office looking perfectly healthy for what he considered a more vital appointment: appearing on Donald Trumpâs favorite network to discuss the war on Iran and fawn over Israel.

Joint Letter to Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith Opposing Further U.S.-Israel Defense Integration
Dear Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith,
As you enter into conference to resolve the differences between the House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027 (H.R.8800) and the pending Senate bill (S.4784), We, the undersigned U.S. organizations, strongly urge you to reject the entrenchment of U.S. and Israeli defense collaboration, which goes against U.S. national interests and values, and would expand the risk of U.S. complicity in, and exposure to, human rights violations, war crimes, and genocide.
Specifically, we are deeply concerned by Section 219 in the House NDAA and Section 1217 in the Senate version, which establish a new U.S. Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative aimed at accelerating joint research, development, and integration of Israeli-origin and jointly developed defense technologies into U.S. military systems and programs of record. This would expand U.S-Israeli military integration across some of the most sensitive domains of emerging technology, including quantum computing, AI and autonomous systems, cyber and electronic warfare, directed energy, and defense industrial base co-production, while expediting pathways from R&D into procurement.
56 US groups urge Congress to drop Israel defence ties provision
The provision would deepen cooperation between the US and Israeli defence sectors by accelerating joint military technology development and other partnerships. The bill passed the House of Representatives in July and awaits Senate action.
The provision of the 2027 National Defence Authorisation Act, known as Section 219, seeks to set up frameworks for joint ventures, licensing agreements and US-based co-production partnerships with the Israeli industry.
In Thursday‘s letter addressed to leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, 56 groups said deeper integration with Israel‘s defence sector would be „exceptionally dangerous“ and urged lawmakers to remove the provision.
Iran Red Crescent urges ICC probe into deadly US strike on wedding party
The Iranian Red Crescent Society has asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate a missile attack by the United States that hit a wedding party in the southern town of Kuhestak, killing at least four people and wounding dozens.
In a letter to the court on Wednesday, the humanitarian group said the attack warrants âan independent, impartial, thorough, and effective investigationâ given the âcivilian character of the locationâ.
Israel ready to ‚remove Gaza population if US gives approval‘, boasts defence minister
Forced displacement of civilians in occupied territory is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
„There is no real solution for Gaza in the end without this migration,“ Defence Minister Israel Katz told a conference hosted by Israeli news site Ynet and newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.
The Israeli government „is organised and prepared to get them outâby sea, by air, by every way possible“, he said.
What do we know about the fatal US bombing of a wedding in Iranâs Sirik?
The city of Kuhestak, located in southern Iranâs Sirik County in Hormozgan province, close to the Strait of Hormuz, was the target of multiple overnight attacks by the United States military, with local sources and authorities saying a wedding ceremony was struck.
The Hormozgan governorâs office on Wednesday identified four victims as four-year-old Amir Ali Karimi, 16-year-old Mohammad Malahi, 43-year-old Kolsoum Malahi and 43-year-old Zarkhatoun Taheri. More than 60 others were wounded, some seriously.

At least four people, including a child, have been killed in a US attack on Tuesday in a residential area near the Iranian city of Sirik, local media reported, citing the Iranian Red Crescent Societyâs provincial branch.
The US strike occurred during a wedding, wounding over 50 people. Rescue efforts in the area remain ongoing.

Folgen des Iran-Kriegs: Trump hat Amerikas Macht verspielt
Die Supermacht USA hat sich mit einer zweitklassigen RegionalgröĂe angelegt – und ist dabei unterlegen. Das hat geostrategische Folgen, die wir lĂ€ngst noch nicht alle begreifen. Am Persischen Golf sind die Amerikaner jetzt auf dem RĂŒckzug, das Pentagon ĂŒberlegt ernsthaft, die zerstörten StĂŒtzpunkte in der Region nicht wieder aufzubauen.
USA erwÀgen nuklearen Schlag gegen den Iran
Laut Wilkerson sitzt der eigentliche Treiber dieses Krieges sitzt nicht in Washington, sondern in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanjahu, so Wilkerson, sei der Einzige, der den Krieg ârichtig interpretiertâ habe â nĂ€mlich als seine letzte Chance, den Iran endgĂŒltig zu erledigen.
Trump, so die Analyse, sei in eine Falle getappt â âkomplett fehlinterpretiertâ habe er den Konflikt. Und jetzt sei er gefangen: Netanjahu werde ihn nicht gehen lassen, egal wie sehr Trump einen RĂŒckzug brauche. Schon im MĂ€rz hatte Wilkerson gegenĂŒber Democracy Now gewarnt, Netanjahu sei bereit, eine Atomwaffe einzusetzen, âsollte es so schlimm werden, wie es gerade aussiehtâ.

Pentagon wants âexpanding optionsâ for nuclear weapons, officials say
(August 7, 2026)
The start of the review was announced by Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby during a keynote speech Wednesday. In his comments, Colby repeatedly emphasized the term âoptions,â though he stressed that as of right now, he had âno announcement of any kind of changeâ regarding the Pentagonâs nuclear policy.
âThereâs, you know, a review or sort of relook at the employment guidance, which is more about the commander of STRATCOM [Strategic Command] and his responsibilities and [the defense] secretaryâs authorities, etcetera,â he said in Omaha, Neb., during the 2026 Deterrence Symposium. Colby also noted that the review will not be released to the general public.
Colbyâs comments were not publicly broadcast, but a copy of the audio was shared with Breaking Defense.
They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings. Yes you read that correctly. Itâs real. Iâm not speculating, I know. And itâs pure evil.
The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of 1945 on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately killing 110,000 people, vaporizing people at ground zero, and total deaths reached 214,000 by the end of the year from severe burns and trauma.
But the extreme suffering continued for the Japanese people from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, and generational birth defects.
Not to mention wiping out all means of their economy.
And the suffering was so great that all of humanity vowed, ânever again.â
Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line itâs repeated for decades, âIran is only weeks away.â
So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it.
And now our government is the one actually discussing lowering the nuclear threshold in order to use nuclear weapons against Iran even though Trump claims heâs won the war like 40 times and says the U.S. controls the SoH.
Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering weâve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history.
People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity.
America is not untouchable.
If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history.
Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW.

âDeranged Behaviorâ: Marco Rubio Slammed for US Sanctions on ICC President
The social media account of Drop Site News accused Rubio of attacking the court solely to protect Netanyahu from war crimes prosecution, pointing out that âthere is currently not a single American citizen under indictment, investigation, or facing an arrest warrantâ from the ICC.
The sanctions earned the praise of the Israeli American Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which accused the ICC of conducting âpolitically motivated investigations and prosecutions targeting America and Israel.â
Rutgers Law School professor Adil Haque said the ICC sanctions showed the US was acting like a ârogue governmentâ and engaged in âderanged behavior.â
US sanctions International Criminal Courtâs president, official
Akane, a Japanese national who has served as ICC president since 2024, and Seye, a Senegalese national, were added to the Treasury Departmentâs Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, according to the agencyâs website.
Both designations were made pursuant to Executive Order 14203, „Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court,“ which US President Donald Trump signed on Feb. 6, 2025, and which has since been used to designate 10 ICC officials, including former Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and eight judges.
âFlashing Red Warning Signâ for Lawmakers: Poll Shows Voters Reject US-Israel Military Integration
A new poll of US voters published on Tuesday offers a warning for congressional lawmakers backing a plan to deepen military ties between the United States and Israel, finding that a clear majority of voters oppose the proposalâwhich some critics have called âtreasonous.â
The Data for Progress survey of 1,217 likely US votersâconducted August 3â7 for Demand Progress and the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Projectârevealed that 61% of respondents oppose legislation in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2027 that would integrate Israeli weapons companies into the Pentagon at a level exceeding that of any other country. That figure rose to 78% among Democrats and 73% among independents.
CIA was skeptical of Israeli tip about Iranian threat to Trump
Some American officials suspect the Israeli warning fit a pattern of Jerusalem using intelligence to shape US policy, particularly given its deep concerns about Iran and unease over closer US-Turkey ties. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was briefed on the threat and the ruse but reportedly stayed on the larger Air Force One. Speaking to the Post, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen questioned whether the Israeli information was „independently verifiable,“ calling the episode „a little fantastical.“
India to Israel and back: How a fake IRGC quote on nuclear weapons reached Netanyahuâs speech
While Ynet could not determine whether Netanyahu or his inner circle directed the circulation of Vahidi‘s alleged quote, the investigation pointed „to a series of familiar markers of disinformation distribution“.
It said that Netanyahu had faced similar accusations in the past.
In September 2024, Netanyahuâs office allegedly provided the UK-based Jewish Chronicle and Germany-based Bild newspaper with false information claiming that Hamas intended to smuggle Israeli captives through the Rafah area between the Gaza Strip and Egypt to Iran.
Two Netanyahu aides are also under investigation over allegations that classified documents were leaked to influence Israeli public opinion about military operations in Rafah.
Israeli journalist exposes how fabricated Iranian nuclear quote became ânewsâ
In a piece published in Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on August 7, Bergman detailed how the alleged remarks by Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), were amplified by Israeli media, Israeli political figures and US officials before eventually returning to India as a report attributed to the âIsraeli mediaâ.
