No wonder Iran went cold on sham talks, considering the lying US-Israeli track record

April 22, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Tim O’Shea I don’t blame Iran for going cold on another sham negotiation session with the US. After all, why would they take the US or Israel seriously? Or even remotely trust either of them when: They both bombed Iran right in the middle of two sets of previous “negotiations”; and Trump lied ... <a title="No wonder Iran went cold on sham talks, considering the lying US-Israeli track record" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/04/22/no-wonder-iran-went-cold-on-sham-talks-considering-the-lying-us-israeli-track-record/" aria-label="Read more about No wonder Iran went cold on sham talks, considering the lying US-Israeli track record">Read more</a>

Trump is blustering as usual but in reality praying for Iran peace deal

April 18, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Lim Tean Many American apologists cannot see the forest for the trees and think that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz represents a huge win for the United States and that Iran has caved in. Wrong. When the Iran ceasefire was first announced by US President Donald Trump on April 8, it ... <a title="Trump is blustering as usual but in reality praying for Iran peace deal" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/04/18/trump-is-blustering-as-usual-but-in-reality-praying-for-iran-peace-deal/" aria-label="Read more about Trump is blustering as usual but in reality praying for Iran peace deal">Read more</a>

Neoliberalism caused two fractures in the world – why Iran’s resistance is so vital

April 17, 2026

ANALYSIS: By Prabhat Patnaik It is the people of the Global South, not governments, who must resist this subversion of the concepts of the “nation’ and of non-alignment. The Indian government’s position on the US-Israeli war against Iran shows an unbelievable degree of pusillanimity. India attended the recent meeting of about 50 countries called by ... <a title="Neoliberalism caused two fractures in the world – why Iran’s resistance is so vital" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/04/17/neoliberalism-caused-two-fractures-in-the-world-why-irans-resistance-is-so-vital/" aria-label="Read more about Neoliberalism caused two fractures in the world – why Iran’s resistance is so vital">Read more</a>

Iran hasn’t survived decades of hostile sanctions, assassinations and sabotage by accident – it’s by strategy

April 17, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Prince Taofeek Ajibade US President Donald Trump probably thinks he can starve a country that feeds itself. Washington is selling the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a chokehold. However, it is worth asking whether the hand actually reaches the throat. Iran shares land borders with seven countries — Türkiye, Iraq, ... <a title="Iran hasn’t survived decades of hostile sanctions, assassinations and sabotage by accident – it’s by strategy" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/04/17/iran-hasnt-survived-decades-of-hostile-sanctions-assassinations-and-sabotage-by-accident-its-by-strategy/" aria-label="Read more about Iran hasn’t survived decades of hostile sanctions, assassinations and sabotage by accident – it’s by strategy">Read more</a>

Trump’s naval blockade of Strait of Hormuz actually targets China

COMMENTARY: By Lim Tean Most of Iranian oil — 96.7 percent — is destined for China. If you note this figure, you will realise that the Americans are really trying to choke off the supply of Iranian oil to China by blockading the Strait of Hormuz.
