 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. On Monday, the 30th day of the US-Israeli war against Iran, US President Donald Trump threatened to destroy all of Iran's energy generation and water desalination plants unless it surrendered to his demands. A member of the Jewish Defense League Brotherhood 613 planned to firebomb Kiswani's home in Brooklyn, NY, with the aim of killing her, her husband and her 10-month-old baby. A video of WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North speaking outside the Nuremberg Palace of Justice on the criminality of the US war against Iran has been viewed nearly 200,000 times across social media platforms, generating an outpouring of support. A three-member CNN news team—journalist Jeremy Diamond, producer Abeer Salman, and photojournalist Cyril Theophilos—were set upon by a group of Israeli soldiers on Friday while they were interviewing Palestinians and reporting on Zionist settler violence in the area. The military collaboration underscores that the wars in Ukraine and Iran are essentially part of a global conflict, in which the fronts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East are closely interlinked. The reception of Islamist leader Ahmed al-Sharaa in Berlin exposes the hypocrisy of German war propaganda and underlines its imperialist goals in the Middle East. A new tentative agreement for Nexteer workers in Saginaw, Michigan, contains sweeping concessions, particularly on pay for new hires and out-of-pocket benefit costs. An ethylene production plant at Mossmorran, Scotland has ceased production and started laying off its 400 strong workforce. Trump's efforts to placate markets are wearing thin as investors focus on energy shortages and troop movements rather than statements from the White House or the social media account of the president. Polanski made clear that he was opposed to the motion's description of Zionism as racist. A Deutsche Bahn signal mechanic has been sentenced to a fine of €6,300 for negligent manslaughter. Letting in a single Russian oil tanker, while simultaneously boasting that "Cuba's next" shows that the regime-change operation is only accelerating. The war's most immediate impact has been on India's liquid petroleum gas supply, but its fallout threatens to spread across the economy, driving up inflation, especially the cost of food and transport. In response to soaring prices, the National Party-led government announced a pitiful $50 weekly payment for some families, while making clear that workers must sacrifice their living standards because of the war. None of the measures outlined will meaningfully ease the cost-of-living crisis and supply shortages resulting from the increasingly catastrophic US-Israeli war on the people of Iran. The financial press has noted that this could set a precedent for the slashing of labour-hire wages throughout the coal mining industry and more broadly. Dockers at a key Brazilian port launched a limited strike in opposition to pending anti-labor legislation, while 17,000 US First Student bus drivers have authorized strike.
