"A Sense of Despair": Many Iranians Fear a Prolonged War — and What Comes After
As the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran extends into a third week, President Trump is demanding other countries send warships to the Strait of Hormuz, which has been largely shut, as oil prices keep rising. This comes as the U.S. and Israel continue to launch major strikes on Iran, while Iran has retaliated by repeatedly striking Israel and U.S. allies in the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain. Despite the violence in Iran, "pro-war voices are definitely in the diaspora and very strong, but they also exist inside Iran," says Naghmeh Sohrabi, professor of Middle East history at Brandeis University.

"I think most Iranians want this war to end as soon as possible, and at the same time, they fear nothing more than the day after the war, if this regime remains intact," says Iranian American novelist Amir Ahmadi Arian.

Report from Jerusalem: As Israel Keeps Bombing Iran, Palestinians Face Growing Violence in West Bank
Democracy Now! speaks with Iranian Israeli political activist Orly Noy about her recent piece, "Longing for My Tehran." "It's been a very emotional time since the beginning of the war, not just because we are constantly running in and out of shelters," says Noy, "but because this time, the footage of the bombing that I grew accustomed to seeing for over two years from the genocide in Gaza was now coming from my homeland."

Noy also comments on Israeli political support for the war on Iran, saying "the very few attempts to protest against the war were brutally crushed by the Israeli police." Israeli violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is also increasing. "Up until now, our worry was about the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. Now it is just about executing Palestinians, both by the army and by the settlers," says Noy.

Aided by U.S. Intelligence, Mexican Army Kills Top Cartel Leader After Threat of Trump Intervention
Aided by U.S. intelligence, Mexican security forces killed the nation's most wanted man, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," on Sunday. At least 70 people were killed in the raid and aftermath as armed groups retaliated in more than a dozen states.

"There's a real sense in Mexico and beyond that governments need to show the U.S. that they are willing and able to take military action on their own, lest Washington send special forces into the country," says Reuters correspondent Laura Gottesdiener about the raid and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's wider crackdown on organized crime. While Sunday's operation will help Sheinbaum "stave off some of the pressure from Trump," Latin American historian Alexander Aviña warns that "this is not going to do much in terms of stopping the flow of illicit drugs from Mexico into United States." Instead, he says, instability within cartel leadership will likely lead to internal power struggles that spill out into local communities. "The burden of this war always falls upon the very bottom of the hierarchy within this political economy," says Aviña.
