Western News Media Propagandists Describe US Bombing Iran As “Defensive”

The propagandists of the American press have been uncritically describing recent US airstrikes on Iran as “defensive” despite the US being the clear aggressor in this ongoing conflict, and despite the United States existing on the other side of the planet from Iran.

CBS News was the most egregious offender with its headline, “U.S. launches defensive strikes at Iranian targets near Strait of Hormuz.”

The title frames it as an objective fact that the attack was defensive in nature, without quotation marks around the word “defensive” and without even bothering to uncritically cite US officials as the source of this claim.

As a reminder, CBS News was recently acquired by David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison, who is one of the wealthiest people on the planet with a net worth of some $160 billion and who is also the largest single donor to the Israeli military. The Ellisons have responded to Israel’s genocide-induced PR crisis by frenetically buying up control over major platforms like CBS, CNN, HBO Max, Warner Bros and TikTok in order to drum up support for US-Israeli military agendas.

Other mass media outlets weren’t much better, uncritically regurgitating assertions from the US government which present the attacks as “defensive”.

The Associated Press headline on the story reads, “US has conducted defensive strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, US official says.”

From The Washington Post, “U.S. forces launch new ‘defensive’ strikes in Iran on eve of election.”

From CNN, “US military conducts strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island in defensive operation, officials say.”

From Fox News, “US launches ‘defensive’ strikes on Iranian island as Tehran talks hang in balance.”

From Reuters, “US carries out ‘defensive’ strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island, officials say.”

From ABC News, “US carries out defensive airstrikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island: Officials.”

From Politico, “.”

The first paragraph of the Newsweek write-up on the story reads, “The U.S. carried out defensive strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official told the Associated Press (AP) on Monday.”

Imagine if Iran started bombing New York's Long Island.

Would any media outlet in the world describe it is "defensive in nature"?

— Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMacLeod) November 3, 2026

The story that these propagandists are spinning was first broken by The Wall Street Journal, who reported that the attacks on Qeshm Island were actually part of a series of secret strikes on Iran which have been going on for weeks now. Paragraphs four and five of the report contain claims attributed to anonymous US officials saying their attacks have been “defensive in nature” in response to Iranian aggressions, which the aforementioned other outlets then seized on as the most significant and newsworthy element in the story.

At no time is the assertion that US forces are “defending” themselves off the coast of Iran ever called into question by any of these outlets. At no time is the audience ever reminded that the US started this war of aggression without any provocation whatsoever. At no time is the audience ever encouraged to ask what the fuck the US military is doing “defending” itself thousands of miles from American shores.

I never want to hear another American compare their media’s malpractice to North Korean propaganda ever again. Westerners are more aggressively propagandized than any other population on earth.

Trump claims US will end military aid to Israel by end of this year

Donald Trump has said that the US will end military aid to Israel at the end of this year in a surprise election day announcement that appeared to be targeted at voters sceptical of US support for Israel and the war in Gaza. In a phone interview with Fox News as voting began on Tuesday morning, the US president said the US would cut nearly $4bn (£2.96bn) in military aid to Israel because “they don’t need it”.

“We were giving them $4bn … But it gets cut off at the end of the year,” he said. Trump also indicated that he had decided to end the aid – which he claimed would be replaced by arms sales to Israel instead – because it had become a popular criticism of US foreign policy led by outspoken candidates including the Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. “Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don’t need it?” Trump said. “It’s a bad talking point.”

During the interview, Trump claimed that the abrupt ending of aid was proposed by Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. “We give them $4bn of things and money, and they don’t need it,” he said. “And I was approached by Bibi Netanyahu, and we’ve been talking about it for a couple of years because it’s a lot of money.” Netanyahu had previously suggested tapering off US military aid to Israel over the next decade, but Trump’s announcement on Tuesday would significantly accelerate that timeline.

Israeli officials appeared to be taken by surprise by the announcement, and leading members of the opposition said it showed the damage that Netanyahu had done to the US-Israel relationship. The announcement comes at a crucial moment after Netanyahu’s party lost its majority in the Knesset in last week’s elections and the opposition is trying to cobble together a coalition to replace him.

Hours Before Midterm Elections, Trump Bombs Iran’s Qeshm Island

The Trump administration launched a new bombing attack on Iranian territory Monday night, striking Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz on the eve of the US midterms amid mounting fears of a massive post-election assault.

The Wall Street Journal was first to report the strikes, which a US official characterized as a “defensive measure” in response to Iran’s use of surface-to-air missiles against American forces that have been waging an illegal war of aggression against Iran since February. The Journal noted that “in one instance on Monday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired a surface-to-air missile at a US jet fighter, which fired back in self-defense.”

The US military did not publicly announce the attack on Qeshm Island, which came hours before American voters were set to head to the polls to decide whether President Donald Trump’s party should remain in control of Congress. The Journal reported that the Trump administration has “purposefully” been keeping its recent campaign of smaller-scale strikes on Iran quiet “so as not to signal any intention of resuming major combat operations.”

Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, said Tuesday that “Iran is prepared for any scenario” and stressed that the country “retains its right to legitimate self-defense until the military aggression has been brought to a complete and permanent end.”

Last month, Trump vowed—falsely, given Monday’s strikes—that the US would “not be attacking Iran at any time prior” to the midterms and that the two sides were engaged in “productive discussions.”

Vice President JD Vance asserted Monday that he and Trump “both feel really good about the prospect of potentially coming to a negotiated settlement” to end the massively unpopular and destructive war with Iran.

Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American Council, said late Monday that “after eight months of an illegal war, there was finally some hope that a diplomatic agreement might be within reach and this war could end through negotiations rather than spiral into the violent scenarios being threatened after the midterm elections.”

“But these deeply alarming revelations suggest we may be heading in precisely the opposite direction,” Abdi said of the Qeshm Island strikes and other recent attacks on Iran. “Every day that Congress fails to intervene is another day this administration is allowed to wage an unauthorized war, conceal its military operations, and gamble with millions of lives. Congress must immediately demand answers, oppose further military action, and use its power to cut off funding for this unauthorized war. Americans must raise their voices and demand that their representatives act now. There is still a chance to prevent another catastrophe, but that window may be closing. We cannot afford to let this war escalate further.”

The latest US strikes came days after Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) warned that the Trump administration was considering an “insane” plan to resume major attacks on Iran following Tuesday’s midterm elections.

If the plan is carried out, Murphy said, “it will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law.”

Murphy, whose remarks were based on information he and other lawmakers received during a classified briefing, did not specifically warn that Trump is considering the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. But concerns about such a grave escalation grew over the weekend after far-right commentator Tucker Carlson—who has vocally criticized the president’s decision to wage war against Iran—claimed that the Trump administration “may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran.”

“Whether these allegations reflect serious military planning or reckless posturing, the very possibility of a US nuclear attack on Iran is an unconscionable horror,” NIAC said in response.

Trump Says US Watched Iran Build Air Defense Facility on Qeshm Island Before Bombing It

President Trump on Tuesday acknowledged that the US bombed Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday and said that the US struck an anti-aircraft “facility” that it watched get built for two months.

The president made the comments about the strike, which he downplayed as a “minor attack,” during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” as he repeated his typical talking points about the war.

The president’s comments suggest the US strikes on Qeshm were more planned out than US officials made out in their comments to media outlets. A US official told Axios reporter Barak Ravid that Iran’s IRGC fired a missile at a US aircraft in the Strait of Hormuz and that the US bombed a missile launcher in response.

Iran’s Security Chief Says US Response in Negotiations Was ‘Not Convincing’

Mohsen Rezaei, the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said on Tuesday that the latest US response in negotiations was “not convincing” and maintained that the Strait of Hormuz will not be fully reopened until the US meets Iran’s conditions.

“The US response to Iran’s rights and demands was not convincing, and they must completely and explicitly answer and act upon Iran’s seven conditions,” Rezaei said, according to Iran’s PressTV. “Only in this case will the Strait of Hormuz be reopened.”

The statement follows Vice President JD Vance’s letter to Rezaei and several days of talks between Iranian and Qatari officials. Despite Rezaei’s statement, Qatar said that it remains “hopeful” about the prospects of a deal and that talks are ongoing.

Lawsuit Targets Secretive Musk-Led Pentagon Panel Over ‘Enormous Potential Conflicts of Interest’

A coalition of government watchdog organizations sued the US Department of Defense on Monday over a recently announced initiative known as Project Meridian, a Pentagon advisory committee headed by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Anduril Industries cofounder Palmer Luckey—billionaires whose companies benefit extensively from federal contracts.

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Project Meridian violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which “requires that any federal advisory committee that includes non-governmental members be created by a charter, have a defined structure and purpose, make its records and meetings open to the public, and be fairly balanced in its membership.”

In his memorandum ordering the creation of Project Meridian, Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth set a deadline of January 28, 2027 for the panel to deliver recommendations to the US Defense Department on how to “map the trajectory of future warfare” and help the country “maintain global dominance.”

Project Meridian has held at least two meetings at the Pentagon, which has not disclosed the specific contents of the gatherings or released a list of attendees. Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich is helping Musk and Luckey spearhead the advisory panel, coordinated by the MITRE Corporation—whose board previously included the GOP’s nominee for US Senate in Michigan, Mike Rogers.

“Despite its ongoing operations and imminent final report,” the new lawsuit reads, “defendants have failed to comply with FACA’s procedural and substantive requirements for new federal advisory committees, including FACA transparency requirements that disallow Project Meridian’s closed-door operations.”

“Compounding the problem, Project Meridian’s private-sector membership raises precisely the type of conflict-of-interest concerns that FACA was designed to address,” the lawsuit continues. “Announced members include Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey, both leaders and stakeholders of major defense contractors with substantial financial interests in the outcome of Project Meridian’s recommendations. Other members likewise have direct financial stakes in Project Meridian’s findings or are dedicated to aggressive military action.”

The lawsuit was filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Public Citizen, and the Project on Government Oversight. The groups urged the federal court to “hold unlawful, vacate, and set aside Secretary Hegseth’s September 30 memorandum establishing Project Meridian,” “enjoin defendants from allowing Project Meridian to continue its work until defendants bring it into compliance with FACA,” and bar the Pentagon from “accepting or acting upon any recommendations by Project Meridian while it is acting outside the law.”

Donald Sherman, CREW’s president, said in a statement on Monday that the Pentagon is “legally barred from getting advice in secret, by defense contractors with enormous potential conflicts of interest.”

“But that’s exactly what Project Meridian is doing—soliciting private counsel from contractors about military capacity including the president’s largest political benefactor,” said Sherman. “The Federal Advisory Committee Act sets clear requirements about transparency and avoiding conflicts of interest, and Project Meridian must either comply or stop operating.”

Musk’s SpaceX has secured more than $8 billion in Pentagon contracts in 2026 alone.

Anduril Industries, Luckey’s firm, is known for building autonomous drones. The company won a $2 billion US Navy contract last month, days after Hegseth announced Project Meridian.

“Project Meridian would outsource design of grand military strategy to two extremist Pentagon contractors, Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey,” Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, said Monday. “Very predictably, they will recommend more spending, much more spending, on more AI-enabled weaponry. That would simultaneously make the world more dangerous and starve funding for domestic and human needs.”

“The law demands balance on advisory committees, precisely to prevent connected insiders like Musk and Luckey from writing policy at the expense of the public,” Weissman added.

Federal judge dismisses Trump lawsuit seeking Harvard admissions data

A federal district court judge dismissed a lawsuit on Monday filed by the Trump administration seeking individual applicant records from Harvard, finding the government failed to meet procedural requirements before filing the lawsuit against the university.

Judge Myong J Joun did not rule on the merits of the case, rather he granted a request from Harvard to dismiss the case on procedural grounds, finding that the justice department failed to demonstrate it took necessary steps to seek voluntary compliance before moving for judicial enforcement.

The justice department filed the lawsuit against Harvard in February 2026, seeking records and claiming Harvard had “thwarted” and “slow-walked” a federal civil rights review by delays and failure to meet deadlines for record requests. The Trump administration has sought the records to ensure Harvard ceased using affirmative action in admissions.

Last week, Harvard released admissions data showing the enrollment of Black students at Harvard fell for a third straight year, to 9.3% for the class of 2030, down from 18% in the class of 2027.

Pardoned January 6 participant charged over alleged threats to kill federal judges

A man pardoned by Donald Trump for participating in January 6 attack on the US Capitol and threatening to kill the then house speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is facing new charges for threatening to kill federal judges that presided over his and other cases arising from the violent anti-government clash. Cleveland Meredith, from North Carolina, was arrested on Monday over a Facebook post in April that allegedly read: “ALL J6 Federal JUDGES will be EXECUTED!”

Then last month, according to the government, Meredith posted “several threatening and concerning messages calling for violence following the midterm elections”, including: “Make damn sure you’re on the right team going into the midterms/… firing squads will commence 11/04/26.” Another post, noted in the complaint, reads: “The midterms will be an absolute MASSACRE.”

Federal prosecutors in the Georgia, from where the messages was sent, said in the complaint that the message “expressly threatened execution” and “constituted a true threat under the circumstances”.

“Meredith’s history of violent online rhetoric indicates that he knowingly sent the message on April 23, 2026,” the complaint said, alleging that he did so for “the purpose of issuing a threat, with knowledge that his post would be viewed as a threat, or while consciously disregarding a substantial risk that his post would be viewed as a threat”. In December 2021, Meredith was sentenced to 28 months after pleading guilty to a charge involving a threat he made to shoot Pelosi.

Officials investigate fire at Mississippi police department tied to fatal shooting of Black toddler

In the early hours of 31 October, a fire broke out at the Senatobia police department in Mississippi, which has been embroiled in controversy recently after one of its officers shot and killed Kohen Wiley, a one-year-old. Though the cause of the fire has not been reported, it is being investigated as arson by agents with the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

In June, then Senatobia police sergeant Hunter Foster shot Kohen as he sat in his mother’s arms in a Walmart parking lot. Foster, who is white, was responding to a report of an alleged shoplifting; Kohen, his mother and the driver of the vehicle, are Black.

An arrest tied to the fire was made on Monday, but no details about the person of interest have been released. The Senatobia police department did not respond to a request for comment.

The Mississippi bureau of investigation, which investigated the shooting, alleged that the driver of the vehicle in which Kohen sat “drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one”. However, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the Wiley family, released an independent autopsy that indicated Kohen was shot from the side of the car, not the front. In mid-October, Lynn Fitch, Mississippi’s attorney general, announced in a statement that the shooting was “justified”. Foster resigned from the police force shortly after Fitch’s statement.

The ongoing investigation into the fire is being handled by the US attorney general’s office of the northern district of Mississippi.

Google says there’s no way to use Search without using artificial intelligence

Google just acknowledged that you can’t use Google Search without using artificial intelligence. The search giant announced a slate of new AI products for classrooms and schools on Tuesday as well as more ways for teachers and schools to limit or restrict use of those AI tools. The company said the schools should have control over whether students use AI in the classroom. There’s one catch, though: if a school or teacher blocks the use of Google’s AI features, students won’t be able to use Google Search.

“After listening to schools, teachers, leading researchers, and policymakers, we are now updating our approach to controls for Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search,” company executives wrote in a blogpost. “Access to these products will be entirely off for K-12 student accounts until school administrators explicitly turn them on.”

In a comment to the New York Times, Chris Phillips, Google’s vice-president for education, said that there is no Google Search without AI. “Search and AI are deeply integrated,” said Phillips. A school-wide ban on AI would mean that students “will not have access to search, and they’ll see a message from their school that indicates it’s not available”, he told the Times. The Guardian also reached out to Google but did not hear back by publication.

To some, the move reads like a penalty for not implementing Google’s AI features. New York City’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, who recently imposed a one-year moratorium on generative AI tools in city schools through the eighth grade, said Google was exploiting its near-total control of online search. “Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools,” Mamdani posted on X. “No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children. Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.”

The ubiquity of Google Search has long made it a critical tool for students, and losing access to it may prove enough of a reason to opt in to using new AI features for schools. Google has also maintained a stranglehold on technology in US classrooms for years by offering cheap and free products. From Gmail and Google Docs to Google Classroom and Google Chromebooks, the company’s suite of software and hardware solutions are among the most widely used in schools.

Babies more likely to have heart defects from Louisiana’s areas with industrial pollution

A study looking at babies hospitalized in New Orleans found that babies born to mothers from neighborhoods in south-east Louisiana with high levels of industrial pollution were four times more likely to suffer from severe congenital heart defects. Published last week, the study in the Environmental Health journal looked at medical records for 454 infants hospitalized at the two major Louisiana hospitals that can provide surgery for heart defects in babies. Researchers traced back where the mothers of these infants lived, examining the levels of industrial toxic pollution in their communities using the US Environmental Protection Agency’s risk-screening database. Compared to infants from low-pollution areas in the region, the odds of congenital heart defects were 4.3 times higher for infants from toxic hotspots, and 3.1 times higher for infants from places with intermediate levels of pollution.

Some of the babies in the study were patients of Dr Kelly Gajewski, a pediatric cardiologist at Manning Family children’s hospital and professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. “I think the biggest part of it is that it is very anxiety-producing to have a baby that has congenital heart disease,” Gajewski said. When she moved to Louisiana more than a decade ago, Gajewski thought she was seeing a lot more cases of severe congenital heart disease in children. “I had some suspicions that there was something in this state leading to higher rates,” she said. That led her down a path of exploring environmental factors as possible contributors to the conditions.

The study shows that the impact of industrial pollution on Louisianans’ health starts in the womb, said the lead author, Kimberly Terrell, who is a research scientist with the Environmental Integrity Project. “When we think of really serious health effects, we think about cancer and COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease] that come from long-term exposures, but developmental impacts come from pretty short exposures,” she said. “We know that early in pregnancy is the critical window of heart development and also development of other body systems, so you have this pretty narrow three-month window where it’s really critical to reduce these exposures.”

The researchers looked at infants born from 2018 to 2021 and their mothers’ potential exposure to 20 toxins known to cause adverse health effects during early development, including benzene, formaldehyde and toluene. The study left out cases where the mother was recorded as having smoked, consumed alcohol or had diabetes during pregnancy. “We wanted to focus on the births we would expect to be healthy,” Terrell said. “We can confidently say this risk is unattributable to smoking, alcohol or diabetes.”

Louisiana has among the highest rates of infant mortality and industrial emissions in the US. Previous studies have linked Louisiana’s toxic air pollution to low birthweights and high cancer rates among Black and impoverished communities. Petrochemical facilities are the largest source of toxic pollution in the state.

The Amazon’s canary in the coalmine: what a tropical fish can tell us about climate upheaval

As a boy in rural São Paulo, Adalberto Luis Val used to stare into the lake where his father took him fishing and wonder how all those creatures swimming below stayed alive. “I needed to know how fish are able to live,” he says. Fast forward to present-day Manaus, a city in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest and Val’s adoptive home since the early 1980s, which he has helped convert over the past five decades into a frontier for tropical climate science. An award-winning ecophysiologist, Val, now 70, learned about gills, gases and the biochemical mysteries of how fish survive by pulling oxygen from water – and perish when the climate goes rogue. That is how the tambaqui caught his eye.

Caged canaries were the classic early-warning system for poisonous gases in the coalmine. In the climate-castigated Amazon rainforest, that’s a job for the tambaqui. Coveted by epicureans, this huge freshwater “surface breather” (Colossoma macropomum) rises when increased temperatures drive water-oxygen levels to critical lows and carbon dioxide spikes. That’s an evolutionary trick the tambaqui has mastered over millions of years, thanks to a protruding lower lip designed to hoover up oxygenated surface water. Val’s research suggests that tracking the tambaqui may also be one of the best ways to gauge the resilience of the Amazon forest itself.

A leading investigator at the National Institute for Amazonian Studies (INPA), Val found that tropical fish, far more than their temperate-zone counterparts, are highly sensitive to fluctuations in heat, humidity and chemicals in the water and air. Baseline scientific research told him that rainforest fish flourish within a relatively narrow temperature band, between 27C and 31C (80.6-87.8F). Anything above that could be deadly.

So Val and his team at INPA divided their laboratory into four chambers to monitor the vital signs of tambaqui and other aquatic species as heat and drought intensify. Three chambers were engineered to simulate escalating climate impacts – mild, medium and extreme – as modelled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global panel of Earth scientists, for the year 2100. A fourth served as a control chamber, replicating present-day temperatures, carbon dioxide levels, luminosity and humidity in the river basin based on real-time data transmitted from sensors mounted on a tower in the forest.

They found that excessive warming raises water temperatures, depleting water-oxygen levels and damaging the vascular systems, metabolism and physiology of river fish. More than a single rainforest species was at stake. “Tambaqui transport seeds along the course of rivers,” Val says. “So, depleting the tambaqui handicaps the recovery of the forest itself.” Beyond the lab, his team observed how soaring temperatures prolonged the dry season to devastating effect: back-to-back record droughts in 2023 and 2024 provoked big die-offs of fish and river dolphins across the Amazon basin. Brazil’s biodiversity authority, ICMBio, recently added the tambaqui to the list of species at risk of extinction.
