‘Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya’ and Claimed Attacks on Jewish Targets in Europe

One of the wider consequences of the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran has been a rise in reported attacks on perceived ‘Zionist’ and ‘American’ targets in Europe. These attacks- spanning from Greece to Britain- have been claimed on social media by a group called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (‘Islamic Movement of the People of the Right’). The concept of ‘Ashab al-Yamin’ (‘People of the Right’) is ultimately derived from the Qur’an and refers to the believers who will go to Paradise.

Which countries have strategic oil reserves – and how much?

Members of the International Energy Agency have agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves.

Iran’s paralysis of the Strait of Hormuz has led to major disruption in global oil and gas supply and many countries have begun tapping into their strategic oil reserves to evade an economic crisis.

The Convicted Kosovar Bank Burglar With a Cameo in a Drake Video

Originally from Kosovo, Hamdi Lataj has listed his address in one of Toronto’s most exclusive condo towers, sits courtside at Raptors basketball games, and appears in a music video for the hip-hop superstar Drake.

Iran’s Mystery Gift to Trump

I think the picture sums it up… Iran is not going to negotiate with the Trump administration on Trump’s terms. Iran has set its terms and will not deviate from those. Here is a synthesis of the key demands from recent Iranian statements and reporting:

Comment Adenauer a secrètement financé le réacteur nucléaire israélien

Pendant douze ans, par des voies top secrètes, le chancelier allemand a transféré 20 milliards de shekels à Israël. Objectif : financer le réacteur nucléaire de Dimona et assurer l’avenir du pays.

En mars 1960 à New York Adenauer et Ben Gourion s’entendent secrètement. “Une obligation morale, … un moyen d’expier les crimes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale”. Mais un nazi éminent reconverti était chef de cabinet du chancelier et d’autres au gouvernement. Et si Eichman en parlait à son procès?…

L’esprit scientifique et le péril scientiste

L’AIMSIB s’honore aujourd’hui de pouvoir donner une belle audience à la fois à l’un de nos meilleurs chercheurs français spécialisé en sciences de l’information et de la communication, j’ai nommé Emmanuel Carré, et à son critique du jour en la personne d’un autre chercheur, Laurent Mucchielli. L’un dissèque le dernier livre de l’autre. On comprend rapidement que la pensée de l’un suit voire précède celle de l’autre. Et merveille, ce travail de recherche ne semble devoir essuyer aucune critique. Merci à l’un d’avoir fait penser l’autre. Le lecteur final n’a plus qu’à se régaler de la justesse de ce texte radical. Excellente lecture.

The murderous decision. How the U.S. exit from the World Health Organization will lead to an increase in global mortality

In February 2026, the United States officially completed its withdrawal from the WHO, leaving a debt of $280 million unpaid. Experts note that the consequences have already come: information about infections has become fragmented, funding is moving from systemic support to bilateral agreements. The WHO is considering several ways to solve the problems that have arisen, for example, a partial return of the United States to the global health system. However, the poorest countries have already suffered from a lack of funding and a gap in continuous data transmission.
