STATEMENT BY THE EMBASSY OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN IN PRETORIA: In response to the aggression of the Zionist Regime against the sovereignty of Iran 14 June 2025

By Iranian Embassy: The damage after the attack (Image: Islamic Republic Embassy to South Africa) In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Pretoria strongly condemns the recent act of aggression by the Zionist regime against the sovereign territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In a deliberate and unlawful attack, the occupying and rogue regime targeted multiple sites in Tehran and other cities, including civilian neighbourhoods, military installations, and nuclear infrastructure. This heinous assault resulted in the martyrdom of some of Iran’s most devoted military commanders, scientists, scholars, and innocent civilians, including women and children. It represents a blatant violation of Iran’s natio...

THE ILLEGAL ATTACK ON IRAN: A decoy for Benjamin Netanyahu’s narrow political ends

By Vijay Prashad: Iran flag (Image: Getty Images) Israel’s consistent attacks on Iran since 2023 have all been illegal, violations of the United Nations Charter (1945). Iran is a member state of the United Nations and is therefore a sovereign state in the international order. If Israel had a problem with Iran, there are many mechanisms mandated by international law that permit Israel to bring complaints against Iran. Thus far, Israel has avoided these international forums because it is clear that it has no case against Iran. Allegations that Iran is building a nuclear weapon, which are constantly raised by the United States, the European Union, and Israel, have been fully investigated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and found to be unfounded. It is ce...

TIMED ATTACKS: Ukrainian attacks on Russia once again prove negotiations are pointless

By Drago Bosnic: Russian Crocus City Hall Amphitheater interiors, day after terrorist attack on 22 March 2024 (Image: TASS/Global Research) The terrorist nature of the Kiev regime is certainly not news to anyone remotely familiar with the methods of its intelligence services. Both the SBU and GUR got extensive training from the CIA and MI6, both of which have experts on terrorism (obviously, not in terms of fighting it, but actually facilitating it). There have been numerous attacks on Russian civilians in the last three years, including by NATO which regularly uses its ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) platforms to provide the Neo-Nazi junta with real-time data that enables such terrorist tactics. The most glaring example of that was certainly the monstrous...

By Fawzia Moodley: Angolan President João Lourenço and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi (Image: CGTN Africa) Africa’s fourth-largest trade partner, India, is keen to strengthen its ties with the continent without competing with China, which has a huge economic footprint in the region.

FAST ACT: India moves swiftly after deadly terror attack in Kashmir

By Fawzia Moodley Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, condemned the terror attack. (Image: PMINDIA) The Indian government has moved swiftly amidst the grief and outrage after a deadly terror attack at Pahalgam in scenic Jammu and Kashmir, bordering India and Pakistan. The attack on Tuesday ( April 22) by members linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) left 26 tourists dead and 17 injured. It has reignited tensions between India and Pakistan, both of which claim Kashmir as part of their territories, which has long been a flashpoint for skirmishes between the two countries. Over the past 70 years, domestic militant groups, demanding either independence for Kashmir or for the area to become part of Pakistan, have launched attacks and fought Indian security forces....
