1. The Midterm Rout: Hegseth Faces the Axe, and the War is Rejected
Following the Republican Party’s disastrous defeats in the November 3 midterm elections, CBS reports that Donald Trump is consulting advisers on removing War Secretary Pete Hegseth, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis named as a potential replacement. The electoral bloodbath was widely interpreted as a direct repudiation of the empire’s foreign wars; former top US counterterrorism official Joe Kent stated that the American people “emphatically” rejected the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran. Even UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham conceded that the midterm results have opened a “critical window of opportunity” to bring the US-led war on Iran to an end.
2. The Leader’s Verdict: US Hegemony is Dead, and the Axis Shapes a New World
Marking the 47th anniversary of the 1979 seizure of the US “Den of Espionage” (National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance), Supreme Leader Imam Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei delivered a definitive verdict on the crumbling edifice of American imperialism. Tracing Washington’s crimes from the 1953 coup to the assassination of Martyr Soleimani and the Martyred Leader, the Imam declared that America’s hard military and soft power have suffered an “irreversible, accelerating collapse.” He praised the unified acts of heroism by the Axis of Resistance—spanning Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen—as the vanguard laying the groundwork for a new world order, warning that any inclination toward submission or appeasement would be an act of ingratitude. PW’s accompanying historical analysis detailed how the Carter administration’s panic in 1979 reduced the US to a “pathetic and helpless giant”—a paralysis that perfectly mirrors Washington’s strategic blindness in 2026.
3. Europe’s Winter Reckoning and Germany’s Hypocrisy
As the economic boomerang of the war on Iran continues to crush the imperial core, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei publicly criticised German Chancellor Merz for blindly backing the war while ignoring its devastating human toll and the economic fallout freezing Europe. Quoting the proverb “From harm one becomes wise,” Baghaei highlighted the sheer absurdity of European vassals financing their own destruction to serve Washington’s failing hegemony.
4. Syria’s Sovereignty and Yemen’s Clean Governance
On the regional front, analyst Vanessa Beeley exposed the fatal weakness of the Jolani regime in Syria, warning that “without a unified military and sovereign authority,” Damascus cannot prevent Israeli expansion amid the puppets’ open cooperation with Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, in Yemen, Press TV’s Yahya al-Wazir reported from the ground that locals confirm corruption has drastically decreased since the Yemeni army assumed control of civil administration, eliminating the need for bribes and proving the efficacy of the resistance’s governance model.
5. Interfaith Unity: A Hindu Leader Hails the Lady of Light
In a profound display of spiritual solidarity, an interfaith conference in Nepalgunj brought together Shia, Sunni, and Hindu scholars to honour Hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA). In a striking address, Hindu religious leader Yogi Chandra Nath Maharaj declared that Muslims need not look for any other role model, as the Lady of Light is a “complete example of all noble traits.” Hindu parliamentarian Sushila Nepali further shattered Western narratives by affirming that the hijab is a means of preserving chastity, not an obstacle to progress.
