Don’t forget that certain personality types actually prefer lying to telling the truth. They will often lie even to their own disadvantage; they can’t help themselves.

As for Mr Trump, he would benefit greatly from an arrangement such as Jonathan Swift suggested in “Gulliver’s Travels”; rulers should not be allowed to speak until prompted by a special servant. Mr Trump should have to take a 48-hour timeout before saying or doing anything.

If Iran chooses to strike back against the USA, it would probably suffer severe harm. But would they think that worth it if the USA suffers even worse harm? The Iranians may take the moral view that such impudent aggression should not go unpunished. “You started this, but we will finish it”. Hamas did something similar on 7th October 2023. They knowingly struck Israel, to provoke it into the grotesque overreaction that it has actually engaged in. Hamas sacrificed tens of thousands of Gazan lives to force Israel to show itself to the world in its true colours. To force… Read more »

Mr Mercouris should remember that human beings do not always act on “logic and reason”. In fact, we almost never do. As Alexander Pope wrote 300 years ago,

“On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail,
Reason the card, but passion is the gale”.
– Alexander Pope (“Essay on Man”, 1733-4)

Did I really hear “How can the US be trusted?”

How can a pack of hyenas be trusted? It’s foolish even to ask such a question. “Trust” is not a concept relevant to business or Realpolitik.

It’s Lie after Lie Alex, not misdirection.

Memo to the Duran, Trump is a documented and proven LIAR and has been since he was elected in 2016.

Are you two finally waking up to reality?

 It was an open secret for the last week or so, that Donald Trump was going to use his relatively slow moving, subsonic Northrop B-2 Spirit Bombers, armed with GBU-57bunker-buster” to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities, as this information was all over the lügenpresse (lying press) websites, which I read several times in the last few days.

Vladmir Putin and Xi Jinping knew this attack was coming, and they could have easily prevented the destruction of the Iranian nuclear facilities, by supplying the Iranians with defensive Anti Air systems, like the Russian S-400 or the Chinese HQ-9 system, which can easily track the so called “StealthB-2 Spirit Bombers.

 When the Russian propaganda outlet RT, reported on the 21st June 2025, with the headline – Israel ‘almost a Russian-speaking country’ – Putin, I knew the game was up for the Iranian nuclear facilities, after the article started with the sentence – “Russian President Vladimir Putin has highlighted Israel’s large Russian-speaking population as one of the key factors in Moscow’s approach to the ongoing Middle East conflict”.

 This did not come as a surprise for me, as I was well aware that Vladimir Putin has been pictured wearing a Jewish Kabbalah red thread talisman on this right wrist, many times over the years, and I am also aware that the Jewish Kabbalah is a book of Jewish Mysticism/Black Magic.

 Then again, Vladimir Putin also betrayed Bashar al-Assad, for ‘The Greater Israel Project’, after the Russian president spirited away (or maybe it is more accurate to say kidnapped!) Bashar al-Assad from Syria, and ostensibly flew him to Russia, which allowed ISIS (Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) to just waltz into Syria and take over the whole country, solely for the benefit of Israel, and their expansionist project, which will come to a climax, with the construction of the Third Temple, after the destitution of Solomon’s Temple and Herod’s temple, and the return of their Antichrist!

 The Republican representative Robert Brown Aderholt, was right for the wrong reasons, when he went onto compare Donald Trump to Winston Churchill, (after the US bombing of the Iranian Nuclear facilities), as Churchill was owned by the Jewish Focus group and Donald Trump is also owned by Jewish financiers, and I suspect that Vladimir Putin is also owned by the Jewish financial clique in Russia.

Alex and Alexander,

Thank you for this up to the minute reporting.
I have found no other resource which consistently presents accurate cutting edge news almost as soon the events transpire as Theduran consistently does.

Your prescient projections dealing with Europe and the Middle East are IMO impressive to say the least.

Thank you for your consistent hard work and perserverence.

Alex I hope you are being careful about spending too much time in Cyprus as it seems Cyprus could possibly become a target.
Take care,

Cheers –

Brian Berletic is right about this. This is not over. The US has the agenda to destroy and destabilize Iran, and they will do anything necessary to expand this war, even if they have to launch a false flag. 7 countries in 5 years is still in force. Donald Trump is a war criminal, and he has committed these crimes in violation to the US Constitution, and all Americans need to support the impeachment of Trump. He needs be removed from office, and to do the walk of shame to the helicopter just like Nixon, and go down in history… Read more »
