Tehran-based Professor Mohammad Marandi responds to Iran’s retaliatory strikes on US bases in Qatar and Bahrain on our show in real-time: “The Iranians had to retaliate.” Marandi calls the missile fires on the US’s largest base in the Middle East a necessary “show of strength” to deter further US-Israeli aggression and avoid full-scale war. He condemns Western media for “demonizing Iran to justify war” and warns that if Trump escalates, it could trigger a “global economic meltdown worse than the 1930s.”
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
