A New World Is Taking Shape, If We Are Wise Enough Not To Blow It Up

Oct. 5, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Friday, Oct. 4, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the apt point that, “We are navigating uncharted military-political territory.” While his comments referred to the growing hostility between NATO and Russia, along with the utter collapse in diplomatic relations, the comment could also be applied to the world as a whole.

Steering Toward the Horizon of Peace

Oct. 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—“Where Is Israel Heading, When the Only Horizon Its Leaders Offer Is War?” asked the editorial in Israeli daily Haaretz. The same could be said of the leaders of every nation of today’s entire trans-Atlantic world, with a few notable exceptions. Indonesia’s President-Elect Prabowo Subianto recently pointed out that “We are witnessing heightened tensions, with global defense and strategy experts suggesting that we are on the brink of World War III…. History has shown that when powers seek to impose their will, wars erupt unexpectedly, as seen in World War I and II…. Thankfully, Indonesia has a strong tradition of non-alignment, and we will continue to uphold that position.”

Not Thinking of Nuclear War Pretty Much Guarantees It

Oct. 3, 2024 (EIRNS)—Today the Chief of Staff of Iran’s armed forces, Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, explained for anyone who cared to hear, what their Tuesday, Oct. 1 attack on Israel was about: “After Martyr Haniyeh’s assassination, Iran went through a tough period of self-restraint amid repeated requests by the Americans and Europeans, who would ask us to exercise self-restraint so they would establish a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.” However, Israel’s constant provocations undermined the process, and the assassination of Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah was the last straw. So, Bagheri explained that Tehran took a measured action: Iran targeted the “center for terrorism,” the Mossad spy agency; the Nevatim air base, which houses Israel’s F-35s; and the Hatzerim base, which had enabled the assassination of Nasrallah. Further, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in the hours after Iran’s Oct. 1 launching of missiles, clearly explained to European foreign ministers that Iran had sent its message, a lawful response, and that they were finished—unless Israel “plans retaliation.”
