US deploys hypersonic ‘Dark Eagle’ missile system for first time The United States has deployed its Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon system abroad for the first time during a large military exercise in Australia, the US Army said. The system, nicknamed “Dark Eagle,” was sent to Australia’s Northern Territory as part of a multinational war drill involving American and allied forces. The missile system can strike targets up to about 1,725 miles away at speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound while manoeuvring mid-flight to evade defences. US military officials said the deployment demonstrates the ability to rapidly position advanced weapons in the Indo-Pacific as Washington and its allies expand military cooperation amid growing competition over hypersonic technology.  US Soldiers give a capabilities brief on the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon System in Northern Territory, Australia, 9 July 2025.

Both campaigns have been framed differently at different times, with dubious claims of defensive action and a curious reluctance to label it war Shifting goals, unclear timelines and a flimsy pretext: at times, the US-Israel campaign against Iran carries curious parallels of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The comparison is far from exact. In 2022, Putin sent a massive army across Ukraine’s borders in an unprovoked invasion of a democratic state, a campaign that quickly resulted in heavy losses. The United States has so far largely limited its involvement to airstrikes against Iran’s authoritarian regime. Continue reading...

Trump has blamed Iran for the mass killing at Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school but geolocation, videos and satellite imagery indicate otherwise The bombing of a primary school in Minab on 28 February killed scores of people, most of them seven- to 12-year-old girls. The strike is the worst mass killing of the US and Israel’s war on Iran so far – and has been described by Unesco as a “grave violation” of international law. On Saturday, the US president, Donald Trump, declared that Iran was responsible for the school bombing. “In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran … they’re very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran.” Continue reading...

Calls for a popular uprising and empty promises of help are reckless in the extreme – and no answer to my country’s plight Nasrin Parvaz is a women’s rights activist and torture survivor from Iran I have been watching the news from inside Iran, unable to hold in my sorrow. As an Iranian who was imprisoned and tortured by the regime, I have been pleading with the world’s human rights organisations and media to keep a focus on the country’s plight. But now I see US-Israeli bombs falling on Iran, and some Iranians celebrating this war while innocent people die. My heart is breaking for my country. Let us be clear: when Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu conspired to launch their war, it was not out of a desire to free the Iranian people from the tyranny of the regime. Netanyahu said on the second day of the war: “This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years.” He has named this operation “Lion’s Roar”. Meanwhile, Iranian monarchists celebrate the carnage, waving the shah’s version of the country’s flag with its crowned lion and sun. Nasrin Parvaz is a women’s rights activist and torture survivor from Iran. Her books include A Prison Memoir: One Woman’s Struggle in Iran, and the novel The Secret Letters from X to A Continue reading...
