June 12, 2025 (EIRNS)—FLASH (11:30 p.m.): A little after 8 p.m. ET, Israel began bombing Iran. Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the goal of the operation is “to strike Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, Iran’s ballistic missile factories, and Iran’s military capabilities.” The operation will continue as long as is needed, he said, until the mission is completed. In addition to missile and other strikes, top military and scientific leaders were targeted for assassination, both by pinpoint strikes and by Mossad squads operating in the country. |

June 4, 2025 (EIRNS)—Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin finally held a telephone conversation today, June 4, three long days after the Kiev regime launched an astoundingly provocative drone attack on five Russian airbases simultaneously, which house that country’s strategic bomber fleet. Whether 40% or only 10% of Russia’s airborne nuclear capability was destroyed in the attack is irrelevant; the fact is that whoever prepared, trained and gave the final green light for Kiev’s drone operation was itching to unleash a nuclear-strategic conflict between the world’s two greatest nuclear weapons superpowers. |
May 28, 2025 (EIRNS)—“Germany is sliding down the same inclined plane on which it has already moved down to its collapse a couple of times in the last century. I hope that responsible politicians in that country will draw the right conclusion and stop the madness.” |

May 14, 2025 (EIRNS)—While most Western political leaders and mass media remain mesmerized by their own impressive inability to solve the crises created by the bankruptcy of the British geopolitical financial system—Southwest Asia, Ukraine, and India-Pakistan, among others—the dominant global trend is contrary. It is moving instead towards an emerging new security and development architecture that will put an end to 500 years of colonialism, and its evil premise that Man is little more than a sophisticated beast. |
May 7, 2025 (EIRNS)—Thursday and Friday of this week mark an occasion of special significance. |
April 30, 2025 (EIRNS)—It is hard to avoid the reality that we are witness to a full-scale, systemic breakdown crisis underway in the West. |
April 27, 2025 (EIRNS)—“There is right now a huge struggle going on in the world, which I think China is one of the leaders of,” Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche stated in an April 25 panel discussion in China on “Innovation Pathways in the Global Green Transition,” organized by the China Media Group, with CGTN host Yang Zhao. |
April 26, 2025 (EIRNS)—President Vladimir Putin announced on April 26 that the Russian armed forces had succeeded in fully expelling the Ukrainian military from the Kursk region of Russia, which Ukraine had invaded nearly nine months ago, on Aug. 6, 2024. In a solemn, televised exchange with Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov, Putin made it clear that Russia intends to keep fighting until a peace can be negotiated which takes Russia’s security concerns fully into account. “The complete defeat of the enemy in the Kursk border area creates conditions for further successful actions by our troops in other important areas of the front,” Putin told Gerasimov. |
April 18, 2025 (EIRNS)—In the author’s Foreword to his groundbreaking 2005 book, Earth’s Next Fifty Years, Lyndon LaRouche wrote: “[T]he only solution for this aspect of the crisis, is to put the international monetary-financial system under a mission-orientation-defined partnership of sovereign nation-state governments. The resumption of a Bretton Woods system as prescribed by President Franklin Roosevelt, is the model for the only kinds of measures which can stop the collapse in the short term, and provide a continuing solution for the generations immediately ahead.” |
April 12, 2025 (EIRNS)—Many thoughtful Americans, such as those making plans to participate in the Schiller Institute international conference on May 24-25, will have pondered the following irony about the United States of 2025. |
April 10, 2025 (EIRNS)—The release of the statement “What Each And Every Nation Must Do Now: Wall Street Gave Us This Crisis—LaRouche Has The Solution” initiates the final six-week phase leading to the May 24-25 Schiller Institute International Conference, “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!” |
April 2, 2025 (EIRNS)—Donald Trump was savvy enough to ride a growing wave of anger in the American population against the Washington Establishment’s “forever wars,” and the related collapse of the economy under their weight, into the White House in 2025. |
March 30, 2025 (EIRNS)—The recent report of the deployment of seven U.S. stealth B-2 bombers to the U.K.-U.S. military base of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, along with parallel movements of American aircraft carriers into the Middle East theater and stepped-up verbal threats against Iran from President Donald Trump, have sharply raised the temperature around a possible U.S.-Iranian confrontation. |
March 26, 2025 (EIRNS)—There is a growing drumbeat around Washington urging the Trump administration to use the recent U.S. air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen as a prelude and practice run for delivering a knock-out punch to Iran next. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz threatened on March 23 that Iran had to change its foreign policy and “walk away completely” from its nuclear program, or “there will be consequences.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been bending the Trump administration’s ear that Iran can be “decapitated” without a full-scale war, the way the IDF did with Hezbollah and the way the Assad government in Syria was toppled. |
March 19, 2025 (EIRNS)—The significance of the latest Trump-Putin phone call, and the ongoing discussions between the two sides, is not to be found in the details of what they discussed—or failed to touch upon—in their March 18 phone conversation. Its significance is that it is part of a brisk new wind that has picked up and is sweeping the strategic stage, altering the trajectory which had the world careening towards nuclear war in the final months of the Biden administration. |
March 16, 2025 (EIRNS)—There are things happening in the foreground of the picture which are decisive—but don’t make the mistake of ignoring what’s quietly going on in the background, or just out of view, or we could be in for a nasty surprise. |
March 13, 2025 (EIRNS)—All eyes were trained on Moscow on Thursday morning, to see how Russian President Vladimir Putin would respond to the U.S.-Ukrainian proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in the Ukraine war. The British and their globalist partners in Washington were hoping that Putin would reject the proposal out of hand, and thereby put an end to the Trump-Putin strategic dialogue which has so upset London. |
Feb. 28, 2025 (EIRNS)—President Donald Trump ordered Ukraine’s Vlodymyr Zelenskyy to leave the White House on Friday without signing a much-publicized minerals deal between the two countries, after they had a heated exchange today before media cameras in which Zelenskyy aggressively challenged Trump’s efforts to negotiate peace with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people, you’re gambling with World War III,” Trump responded forcefully. |
Feb. 19, 2025 (EIRNS)—The dizzying pace of developments on the world stage over the last 30 days has left most of the world—including many of the principal actors in these events—at a loss to explain what is happening, and why things are moving so rapidly. |
Feb. 12, 2025 (EIRNS)—Wednesday, Feb. 12 saw three major developments in the tumultuous strategic situation. |
Feb. 5, 2025 (EIRNS)—First: Don’t try to brush aside the Trump-Netanyahu press conference of Feb. 4 as just another case of the President throwing out preposterous proposals as a “negotiating tactic,” in which he didn’t really mean what he said: That the United States would take over and “own” Gaza; that the U.S. would use military force “if necessary” to achieve that; and that 1.8 million Palestinians would be “relocated” to neighboring countries (who all quickly restated that they would not be party to such ethnic cleansing). |
Feb. 2, 2025 (EIRNS)—After an explosive week of coverage of the illegal activities of the London-Washington “Deep State” apparatus, exposed during the course of the Senate hearings on the Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel nominations, the Senate will move to a vote in the course of this coming week. Both nominees acquitted themselves well; and President Trump has thrown his considerable political weight behind them, both publicly and in private. Yet Americans must step up the pressure on the Senate to make sure they are approved, because that Deep State apparatus has no intention of going quietly. |
Jan. 31, 2025 (EIRNS)—Barely two weeks into the second presidency of Donald Trump, the world strategic situation is one of unresolved tension, with contradictory signs issuing from the White House as to what to expect. It is a period in which dedicated organizing activity around clear-headed solutions to the existential crises facing Mankind can move mountains. |
