 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. An armed "terrorist infiltration" by a US‑flagged speedboat exposes the increasingly reckless character of Washington's regime‑change campaign. Having amassed vast military power in the Middle East spearheaded by two aircraft carrier strike groups and scores of warplanes, US imperialism is locked and loaded to unleash a criminal war on Iran in the coming days, if not hours. Elections are currently taking place at UAW locals for delegates to the Constitutional Convention schedule for June 15-18 in Detroit. The UN human rights office said the cumulative impact of Israel's military conduct during its war against the Palestinians, along with its blockade of the territory, had inflicted living conditions "increasingly incompatible with Palestinians' continued existence as a group in Gaza." The "coalition of political forces of Iranian Kurdistan" represents yet another episode in the protracted and disastrous alignment of Kurdish bourgeois nationalist organizations with American imperialism. Mamdani met with the president in the Oval Office supposedly to propose a housing plan less than two days after Trump's fascistic State of the Union address. The fascist president has threatened to issue such an order if Congress fails to pass legislation aimed at suppressing turnout by anti-Trump voters in November. The 140 social service workers, members of the UAW, walked out February 18 for better wages and benefits as Democrats and Republicans make massive cuts to social spending. They face not only a new contract that fails to satisfy their demands, but also a new round of attacks and harassment from management, according to nurses who spoke to the World Socialist Web Site. The police theft of a placard featuring the face of Israeli war criminal Netanyahu and the caption "wanted" was a provocation that would have been approved at high levels of the NSW government and police command. Albanese's ministers are seeking to satisfy a drumbeat of demands by the corporate ruling class for much sharper cuts to social spending. The Senate committee hearing laid bare the anti-science agenda driving the Trump-Kennedy assault on public health, while Democrats offered only performative opposition. Drop Site News reports that newly disclosed documents show the Israeli government installed a security system at a Manhattan apartment building controlled by Jeffrey Epstein — a property that court filings, sworn depositions and police reports identify as housing underage girls and alleged co-conspirators in his sex trafficking operation. Together, they constitute an extraordinary and coordinated intervention by Trump, aimed at intimidating opposition and reasserting state authority amid a rapidly intensifying class struggle. The conditions today are even more tense and fraught than those that led to a 118-day strike in 2023. Omole has been transferred to Kitengela Remand Prison with a broken arm. He faces trumped-up charges of connections to drug cartels, assaulting a police officer and possession of a firearm. The proposal by David Farrar, who is close to the New Zealand government, reflects concern in ruling circles that NZ may be sidelined by the US and other imperialist powers in the violent redivision of the world. Ahead of international protests to mark third anniversary of Tempi rail crash, actors and theatre technicians across Greece walk out over pay and conditions; bus drivers in Çanakkale, Turkey in stoppage over unpaid wages and poor working conditions; ArcelorMittal Liberia mine workers protesting pay and conditions face police attacks 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.
