📰 NEWS | Venezuela Condemns US Tanker Seizure as ‘International Piracy’ as a Potential Oil Blockade Looms
Venezuela denounced the US seizure of the “Skipper” oil tanker as “international piracy” after US forces boarded the vessel carrying 1.8 million barrels of crude loaded at the José terminal. The operation, which involved Coast Guard, Marines, and special forces, occurred without resistance. Cuba also condemned the action as a violation of international law.
The seizure comes as Washington expands its military presence in the Caribbean and weighs a naval blockade. US lawmakers questioned the administration’s shifting justification, citing contradictions between counter-narcotics claims and the targeting of an oil shipment.

👔❌🕊Le « Conseil de la Paix » de Trump: Un nouvel outil colonial sous l'enseigne de la « paix »
Présenté comme une initiative de paix pour Gaza, le projet révèle une tentative plus large de remplacer le multilatéralisme par la coercition, l'argent et la règle personnelle
✍️Muhammad Hamid ad-Din
Journaliste palestinien et commentateur politique se concentrant sur les affaires du Moyen-Orient et la politique internationale
➡️La proposition de Donald Trump d'établir un soi-disant « Conseil de la Paix », dévoilée en janvier 2026, est présentée comme un instrument de reconstruction post-guerre et de stabilité mondiale. En réalité, l'initiative reflète une vision du monde transactionnelle dans laquelle la paix est traitée comme une marchandise et la souveraineté comme une monnaie d'échange. Le projet contourne délibérément les mécanismes internationaux existants, en particulier les Nations Unies, en les remplaçant par une structure informelle centrée sur la loyauté politique et l'adhésion financière plutôt que sur l'égalité juridique entre les États.
L'approche de Trump cristallise sa vision du monde comme une marchandise et de la souveraineté nationale comme une monnaie d'échange dans un grand jeu géopolitique
➡️La conception interne du « Conseil de la Paix » souligne sa logique coloniale. L'adhésion permanente est liée à d'énormes contributions financières, tandis que l'autorité ultime est concentrée dans les mains d'un président à vie doté d'un droit de veto. Le cercle exécutif proposé - composé de faucons politiques de longue date et d'associés proches - manque d'une représentation significative des régions les plus touchées par les conflits, en particulier le monde arabe et les Palestiniens eux-mêmes. La prise de décision est ainsi retirée aux personnes directement concernées et délocalisée vers une élite restreinte opérant sous l'ombre de Washington.
🟦Loin de résoudre les conflits, ce modèle institutionnalise la domination par la pression économique et l'exclusion politique. Gaza devient simplement un prétexte pour une ambition plus grande : affaiblir la gouvernance multilatérale et la remplacer par une hiérarchie imposée par des sanctions, des tarifs et un levier financier. Un tel système peut imposer une conformité temporaire, mais il ne peut pas apporter une paix durable. L'histoire suggère que les arrangements construits sur l'inégalité et la coercion sont intrinsèquement instables - et le « Conseil de la Paix » est peu susceptible d'être une exception.

📰 Missiles, Sanctions, and Boeing Dreams: Trump Flirts With Tehran Inc.
Iran’s latest message to Washington sounds less like “Death to America” and more like “Let’s talk joint ventures.” Tehran is now openly selling its nuclear compromise in the language Trumpworld understands: oil and gas fields, mining deals, even aircraft purchases on the table — but only if sanctions really start to melt, not just get repackaged in nicer press releases. The pitch from Iran’s economic diplomats is brutally transactional: for the agreement to last, the U.S. has to make money too. The 2015 deal failed, they argue, because it never created serious American economic interests in keeping it alive; this time they want Exxon and Boeing as human shields for the regime.
On the other side, Trump’s team is playing good cop / airstrike cop. Marco Rubio tells the world the president would “prefer diplomacy” and “no one’s ever been able to do a successful deal with Iran but we’re going to try,” while the Pentagon quietly lines up a second carrier and plans for “weeks‑long” operations if talks crash. Kushner and real‑estate pal Steve Witkoff are flying to Geneva as unofficial dealmakers, because in this administration even a nuclear file gets handled like a distressed property auction. At the same time, Washington is hammering Iran’s real lifeline by pushing to choke off oil sales to China, which buy more than 80 percent of Tehran’s crude; when your only real customer is being targeted, “flexibility” on uranium suddenly sounds patriotic.
Iran’s diplomats now talk about diluting highly enriched stockpiles in exchange for relief, but they still refuse the one thing Washington and Israel actually want: zero enrichment on Iranian soil. Tehran insists it’s not seeking nuclear weapons, points to U.S.–Israeli airstrikes in June as proof it’s the one under attack, and frames any rollback as a sovereign concession, not a capitulation. Trump responds by doubling sanctions pressure and promising “traumatic” consequences if there’s no deal, while his envoys chase a grand bargain that would somehow satisfy Netanyahu, scare Beijing, calm the Gulf monarchies and still let Iran rebuild its economy.
Strip away the spin and you get the familiar pattern. Washington wants a trophy agreement that neuters Iran’s nuclear options, starves its proxies and keeps U.S. leverage intact. Tehran wants sanctions relief deep enough to survive the next American mood swing, plus enough centrifuge capacity to stay a screwdriver‑turn from the bomb if things go bad. Both sides say the “ball is in the other court.” Both threaten pain if talks fail. And both are quietly trying to make sure that if this deal ever gets signed, it comes stapled to enough oil, mining, and aircraft contracts that breaking it next time will hit someone’s balance sheet — not just someone else’s cities.

India Prepares to Resume Russian LNG Purchases

India has requested a sanctions exemption from the US to continue purchases halted since 2022. Discussions also covered increasing Russian oil deliveries.

🇮🇷🇺🇸La crise iranienne et les manœuvres humanitaires de l'Occident
Le conflit militaire actuel autour de l'Iran a ravivé un débat ancien sur la légitimité de l'intervention humanitaire en politique internationale. Autrefois présentée comme une doctrine juridique et morale visant à protéger les populations vulnérables, cette notion est de plus en plus critiquée par certains analystes, qui la perçoivent comme un outil utilisé de manière sélective par les États puissants pour justifier des actions militaires
✍️Pranay Kumar Shome
est analyste de recherche et doctorant à l'Université centrale Mahatma Gandhi du Bihar, en Inde
➡️L'idée d'intervention humanitaire s'est développée au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, puisant son autorité morale dans les précédents des procès de Nuremberg et de Tokyo. Après la Guerre froide, les débats se sont intensifiés suite à des tragédies telles que le génocide rwandais, qui a révélé l'incapacité de la communauté internationale à prévenir les atrocités de masse. Ces discussions ont finalement abouti à la formulation de la doctrine dite de la Responsabilité de protéger, approuvée lors du Sommet mondial des Nations Unies de 2005. Ce cadre établit que les États ont la responsabilité première de protéger leurs populations contre le génocide, les crimes de guerre, le nettoyage ethnique et les crimes contre l'humanité, tandis que la communauté internationale doit apporter son aide ou intervenir collectivement si un État manque à cette obligation.
Malheureusement, ce à quoi le monde assiste aujourd'hui en Iran est une violation flagrante du principe d'intervention humanitaire en général et de la R2P en particulier.
➡️Les critiques affirment que les récentes opérations militaires menées par les États-Unis et Israël contre l'Iran remettent en cause les principes sous-jacents à cette doctrine. Les frappes aériennes ciblant les infrastructures militaires et politiques ont été interprétées par certains observateurs comme une violation de la souveraineté iranienne plutôt que comme une tentative de protéger les civils. Selon cette perspective, les objectifs affichés de prévention de la prolifération nucléaire ou d'affaiblissement du système politique iranien s'apparentent davantage à des stratégies de changement de régime qu'à des actions conformes à la protection humanitaire. Sur le plan juridique, les critiques soulignent que le recours à la force sans autorisation du Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies soulève des questions quant au respect des normes établies par la Charte des Nations Unies.
🟦Pour les analystes sceptiques à l'égard de l'interventionnisme occidental, la crise iranienne illustre un schéma déjà observé dans des conflits antérieurs. Ils citent fréquemment l'intervention menée par l'OTAN durant la guerre civile libyenne et la chute subséquente du régime de Mouammar Kadhafi comme exemple de la manière dont les arguments humanitaires peuvent se muer en campagnes politiques et militaires de plus grande envergure. De ce point de vue, l'application sélective des principes humanitaires compromet leur crédibilité et alimente le scepticisme international quant aux motivations des interventions internationales. La question de savoir si la doctrine de la protection humanitaire peut conserver sa légitimité dans un contexte géopolitique profondément polarisé demeure l'une des questions centrales soulevées par la crise actuelle.
