China: Iran’s Supreme Leader – US-Backed “Sedition” Defeated – Schools Set to Re-Open! (18.1.2026)

Iranian authorities said the peaceful protests had been hijacked by “vandals,” and the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Friday that security forces had detained about 3,000 people in connection with the unrest.

Amid the easing tensions, short message service in Iran was resumed on Saturday, while schools will reopen on Sunday after a one-week closure, according to Iranian media.

Also on Saturday, Lebanon’s Hezbollah voiced firm support for Iran. In a televised address on the Hezbollah-controlled al-Manar channel, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem called Iran a “stronghold of resistance” and accused the United States of seeking global domination.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement Friday night strongly condemning what it called “meddlesome” remarks by the Group of Seven nations concerning the recent unrest, urging the group to stop interfering in Iran’s internal affairs.

Ofsted Zionist - 2026

UK: Government Sets Ofsted on Bristol School after Palestine Row! (17.1.2026)

A planned visit to the school by ultra-Zionist MP Damien Egan, who visited Israel during its genocide in Gaza, was cancelled after parents said they would keep their children home rather than expose them to Egan’s extremism. Teachers had said they would wear Palestine t-shirts during the visit.

Egan’s allies claimed this ‘endangered’ him, while fellow Israel fanatic, front-bencher Steve Reed, implied Egan was blocked for being Jewish. The Starmer government, along with state and corporate ‘mainstream’ media, have amplified Reed’s dishonesty to demand action.

3 pro-Palestinian protesters end hunger strike after UK decides not give contract to Elbit Systems UK

UK: Labour Pays Tribute – 3 Hunger-Strikers Stop [Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi & Lewie Chiaramello], 1 Hunger-Striker [Brave Umar Khalid] Re-Assumes – the Battle Against Israeli-Genocide Continues! (16.1.2026)

They also raised concerns about the treatment of hunger strikers in detention, citing delayed medical care, excessive restraints during hospitalization, denial of family and legal contact and insufficient independent medical oversight.

Labour Party lawmaker John McDonnell said the hunger strikers have also secured meetings with prison officials about their health and conditions, following the news.

“I pay tribute to the dedication of the hunger strikers,” he said on the US social media company X.

Palestine Action was banned in July under the Terrorism Act after members of the group entered a Royal Air Force base and spray painted two aircraft, causing £7 million ($9.44 million) in damage, according to police. Hundreds of pro-Palestine activists have since been arrested across the UK.

Iran: Reuters Claim “Chinese Domestic Firms Barred from Using US, Israeli Cybersecurity Software Amid ‘Security Concerns'” – But is it True? (15.1.2026)

Initially, I came across this article on Press TV via Telegram – but found that Google is “banning” Iranian media – whilst the US and Israel attempt a violent overthrow of the Iranian government. Instead, I had to open the below article via the Microsoft search-engine. Whether wordpress shadow-bans or ghosts this article is anyone’s guess. I have checked the Mainland Chinese-language “Baidu” search-engine for confirmation of this original “Reuters” article – and could not find any reference. Therefore, I would tread carefully. Reuters, just like all the Western news outlets are controlled by the bourgeois establishment and loyally does its (pro-capitalist) bidding. On the other hand, China, like any country, routinely exercises its right to self-defence – just as Iran is doing now.

Israeli legislation would allow the executions of Palestinians by hanging. (AP file photo)

Israel: Bill to Allow Execution of Palestinian Prisoners by Hanging! (14.1.2026)

Prisoners sentenced to death would be held in complete isolation, with visits restricted exclusively to authorized personnel. Details of executions would be published on the Israel Prison Service’s website, while the identities of those carrying out the sentence would remain confidential.

Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war, the regime has sharply escalated its violations against Palestinian detainees, particularly those from the besieged Gaza Strip, including starvation, torture, sexual violence and systematic denial of medical care.

Late last month, a report by leading Palestinian prisoner advocacy groups said Israel was committing a “systematic genocide” against Palestinians held in Israeli detention,

Palestine Action Hunger Strike 2026

UK Urged to Act Over Palestine Action Hunger Strikers! (13.1.2026)

They called for an “urgent ministerial meeting” with families and lawyers, “immediate bail” for the Palestine Action prisoners, the dropping of terrorism related charges, “fair trial conditions free from fear driven narrative and political interference,” access to independent medical care, an end to censorship and visit restrictions.

One of the hunger strikers, Kamran Ahmed, was hospitalized last week for a heart complication, according to Sky News, which cited medics warning they could be at risk of death.

Prisons Minister Lord Timpson has said hunger strikes are “not a new issue” for British prisons and that ministers will not meet the detainees, arguing it would be “entirely unconstitutional and inappropriate” for the government to intervene in ongoing legal cases.
