 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The United States Navy's torpedoing of the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean on March 4, 2026 is a war crime. As the US-Israeli war against Iran enters its sixth day, Israel has ordered the mass evacuation of southern Lebanon and launched a ground incursion, opening a second major front in a war that is rapidly engulfing the entire Middle East. The resolutions under the War Powers Act were an empty exercise in pretended opposition to the war by the Democratic Party leadership. Israel has ordered the entire population of southern Beirut—around 500,000 people—and all residents south of the Litani River, more than 300,000 people, to evacuate. Its armed forces have invaded and launched hundreds of strikes. Macron did not bother to even go through the motions of parliamentary debate and approval of his war policy, instead unilaterally committing his government to a war that threatens the world with economic and military catastrophe. This statement was distributed at the nationwide school strikes against conscription in Germany on March 5. Students wore keffiyehs, carried Palestinian flags and handmade anti-war signs reading "I am not dying for the Epstein class," "No war on Iran" and "End American Imperialism." The move does not represent a shift in policies, but the removal of an official whose provocative statements and blatant corruption had become and obstacle to carrying them out. Kirk's assassination last year has been seized on a means of promoting and even normalizing fascist politics on campuses. Once again, a Labour government staffed by political criminals is dragging the country into a US-led war for oil. It is impossible to halt the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran and the rapidly spreading war across the Middle East by relying on the diplomatic initiatives of the European powers. Five months into the worst measles outbreak since 1992, the gutted CDC dispatches three data analysts to South Carolina as measles spreads through ICE detention camps in Texas. Through mass firings, rigged appointments, and unilateral decrees, HHS Secretary Kennedy is dismantling the federal machinery behind childhood vaccination in the United States, provoking lawsuits from pediatricians and 15 state governments as preventable disease protections are stripped away. The criminal war overshadowed Carney's visit and underscored the bogus character of his claims that "middle powers" could chart an alternative to the breakdown of international norms and law. In its four-year term, the Malinauskas government has overseen a massive widening in the gulf between wages and property prices. As writers face a contract showdown, entrenched union officials defend privileges, exposing the widening gulf between the rank and file and the bureaucracy. The ANC is incapable of even characterising a criminal war carried out by Washington and Tel Aviv. Indeed, its statement, expressing "deep concern at the escalating tensions in the Middle East" does not mention the United States or Israel once. A review of the tentative agreements makes clear that workers must reject these rotten deals with a resounding "No" as an initial step in a renewed struggle to defend their jobs, working conditions, the postal service and public services more broadly. Nearly 700 built environment practitioners have signed an open letter opposing the Victorian Labor government's planned destruction of Melbourne's 44 public housing towers. Tennessee seeks to track students' legal status, turning schools into data‑collection arms for deportation. Civil servants and government officials in Netherlands stage national 24-hour pay strike; public transport workers on buses, trams and subway trains walk out for 24 hours across Germany over pay and conditions; workers in two hospitals protest lack of funding endangering patient safety, in Nigeria and Liberia About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
