Epstein cabal play games with human lives in Iran while grasping for unearned riches

March 26, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Kellie Tranter The actions of the Trump administration and its AIPAC-Israeli donors have reached new levels of immorality, illegality and unprecedented venality. It is almost universally accepted that the US-Israel attack on Iran had no justification under international law: it was simply a war of aggression and thus the commission of perhaps the ... <a title="Epstein cabal play games with human lives in Iran while grasping for unearned riches" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/26/epstein-cabal-play-games-with-human-lives-in-iran-while-grasping-for-unearned-riches/" aria-label="Read more about Epstein cabal play games with human lives in Iran while grasping for unearned riches">Read more</a>

From nuclear to climate crisis survivors: unfinished business in the Pacific

March 23, 2026

COMMENTARY: By David Robie, author of Eyes of Fire Climate crisis concerns shouldn’t overshadow the legacy of nuclear testing in the Pacific, where there are lingering health and sociopolitical insecurities. For example, there are concerns in French Polynesia about the mysterious fate of a former anti-nuclear investigative journalist and editor of the now closed Les ... <a title="From nuclear to climate crisis survivors: unfinished business in the Pacific" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/23/from-nuclear-to-climate-crisis-survivors-unfinished-business-in-the-pacific/" aria-label="Read more about From nuclear to climate crisis survivors: unfinished business in the Pacific">Read more</a>

Ian Powell: Iran, US imperialism and the New Zealand lapdog

March 20, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Ian Powell When Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, was assassinated in the opening stages of the US-Israeli war against Iran, I didn’t mourn. Khamenei was not someone who deserved to be mourned notwithstanding my contempt for the increasing use of assassination by aggressor nations; in this case the United States and ... <a title="Ian Powell: Iran, US imperialism and the New Zealand lapdog" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/20/ian-powell-iran-us-imperialism-and-the-new-zealand-lapdog/" aria-label="Read more about Ian Powell: Iran, US imperialism and the New Zealand lapdog">Read more</a>

Project Vault: Peace in the moana or military outpost?

March 19, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Niamh O’Flynn To most of us in Aotearoa, the current illegal war in Iran feels distant. We see it in our news feeds, we feel it at the petrol pump, and we hear about it in “trade disruptions”. We tell ourselves we’re just a small, peaceful nation caught in the crossfire of superpowers. ... <a title="Project Vault: Peace in the moana or military outpost?" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/19/project-vault-peace-in-the-moana-or-military-outpost/" aria-label="Read more about Project Vault: Peace in the moana or military outpost?">Read more</a>

Iran’s ‘Samson option’ : Deterrence restored or nothing – the logic behind Tehran’s next move

March 18, 2026

ANALYSIS: By Kevork Almassian When the Strait of Hormuz closes, you don’t need to be a military analyst to understand what just happened. You only need to understand what the world runs on. Oil. Gas. Shipping lanes. Insurance rates. Container schedules. Energy prices that decide whether factories hum or go dark, whether households heat or ... <a title="Iran’s ‘Samson option’ : Deterrence restored or nothing – the logic behind Tehran’s next move" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/18/irans-samson-option-deterrence-restored-or-nothing-the-logic-behind-tehrans-next-move/" aria-label="Read more about Iran’s ‘Samson option’ : Deterrence restored or nothing – the logic behind Tehran’s next move">Read more</a>

Israel caught in a permanent state of war mindset – peace is taboo

March 18, 2026

INTERVIEW: C.J. Polychroniou and Idan Landau Israel’s war on Iran is a direct result of a political culture that depends for survival upon a permanent state of war, says Israeli academic and left-wing activist Idan Landau in the interview that follows. He observes that Israeli society on the whole has embraced a fascist mindset, “reflecting ... <a title="Israel caught in a permanent state of war mindset – peace is taboo" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/18/israel-caught-in-a-permanent-state-of-war-mindset-peace-is-taboo/" aria-label="Read more about Israel caught in a permanent state of war mindset – peace is taboo">Read more</a>

March 17, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Saige England Every week, health prevailing, I march with our Palestinian friends and their supporters in Aotearoa New Zealand. And my country is one which — under Britain — was colonised. Colonisation perpetrates injustices against indigenous people. This legacy is still felt by Indigenous people today.

War on Iran: Australia should put trust in its neighbours not a modern Titanic rogue state

March 15, 2026

COMMENTARY: By Kellie Tranter The US-Israeli attack on Iran has unequivocally demonstrated to the world — apart, it seems, from Australia’s government — that being an ally of the US attracts potentially disastrous liabilities but confers few if any benefits. The US was manipulated into starting this illegal and unjustified war simply because Netanyahu planned ... <a title="War on Iran: Australia should put trust in its neighbours not a modern Titanic rogue state" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/15/war-on-iran-australia-should-put-trust-in-its-neighbours-not-a-modern-titanic-rogue-state/" aria-label="Read more about War on Iran: Australia should put trust in its neighbours not a modern Titanic rogue state">Read more</a>
