Behind US gov't shutdown, the dollar declines
The US congressional debate over the national debt is superficial.
America’s economy is entirely based on debt.
The US has been able to accumulate so much debt because of the dollar’s privileged status in international trade.
The Grayzone's Kei Pritsker explains why that status won’t last forever.

Uncaptured: Jews in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Join Max Blumenthal on a trip throughout Iran as he meets members of the second largest Jewish community in the region. In this collaboration with acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Maria Mavati, Blumenthal takes a look at the lives and rich history of Jews inside the Islamic Republic that might surprise outsiders, and which provides a stunning rebuke to Zionist portrayals of post-revolutionary Iran.
"I had read and heard so much about them," Blumenthal reflected on the Jewish Iranians he met during this project. "Some of it might have been true, but much of it felt like propaganda. So I wanted to see for myself – to meet Iran's Jews where they lived, in their congregations, and communities. What I found was an authentic brand of Judaism in practice, one representing thousands of years of tradition, and which today remains uncaptured by the militaristic force of Zionism."

🚨 Israel violating ceasefire, strangling Gaza aid and maintaining occupation
Despite the announced Gaza deal, Israel continues to restrict aid to just ~150 UN trucks per day — blocking private charity deliveries and keeping the Rafah crossing sealed.
Blumenthal argues Israel is using aid as leverage — "collectively punishing Gaza" while demanding the return of dead captives' remains.

Iranian strike hit secret Israeli-US military bunker beneath Tel Aviv tower: Report
An investigation by The Grayzone has revealed that Iran’s June 13 missile strike on Tel Aviv directly hit a secret underground military command center jointly operated by Israel and the United States, buried beneath a luxury apartment complex in the heart of the city.
@PressTV
— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇺🇸 NEW: According to new documents obtained by The Grayzone, Iranian missiles in June hit a building that sits on the secretive 'Site 81' command and control center in Tel Aviv, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
This strike was subject to extreme censorship inside Israel, and even a Fox News reporter was barred from moving towards the area. Google has also censored the area by blurring it and removing the Street View feature.
'Site 81' is located among densely populated residential neighborhoods, and it's even close to a children's playground.
The area is also very close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office in Tel Aviv, which prompted the Israeli government to empty the building and start 'renovations.'

🇮🇷🇮🇱| NEW: Iranian missiles struck a secret highly-secured underground US-Israeli military base during the 12-day war
A Grayzone investigation revealed that on June 13, Iranian missile struck northern Tel Aviv, hitting a secret underground US-Israeli military base (known as Site 81) hidden beneath the Da Vinci Towers.
The base, ran jointly by US and Israeli intelligence, serves as a command-and-control center connected to Israel’s main military HQ, the Kirya (“Fortress of Zion”). Its exact location was secret until now.
Evidence from leaked emails, public contracts, and geolocation ties Site 81 to American defense firms and Israeli intelligence units, including Unit 8200. Companies inside the Da Vinci complex — like AI21 Labs and Perimeter 81 — are linked to Israeli cyber-military operations.
The bunker sits beneath civilian housing, shops, a playground, and a community center, which shows that the same claim Israel used against Hamas, is just a fact they themselves are doing: Using civilians as cover for military assets — the same “human shielding” it accuses others of.
After the strike, Israel censored reporting, removed Google Maps and Yandex imagery of the area, and blocked journalists from filming.

Max Blumenthal: The Gaza peace deal that never was
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal explains how the Biden administration refused to pressure Netanyahu into a ceasefire, leaving the perceived diplomatic win to Trump, who happens to be the most malleable vehicle for Israeli influence in US history. Max explains how Israel is already violating the ceasefire agreement while unleashing its extremist proxies in Gaza, and highlights extremely revealing statements Trump made during his Jerusalem speech in which he casually joked about Israel's control over his own policies.

An American 'helper' in the new Syria: Al-Sharaa is not providing freedom
In a wide-ranging and at times contentious discussion, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Bilal Abdul Kareem, an activist and journalist from Mount Vernon, New York who moved to Syria and provided coverage of key events throughout the battle for Syria, while emerging as one of the most influential English language promoters of the Islamist forces seeking to topple ex-President Bashar al-Assad.
Abdul Kareem details his interactions with leaders of the armed opposition, his imprisonment under the government of Ahmad Al-Sharaa (aka Mohammed Jolani) when he ruled the Idlib province, and harshly critiques Al-Sharaa's failure to provide freedom or accountability to the Syrian people now that he's president.

Max Blumenthal: A Predictable Disaster
Max Blumenthal breaks down the looming US invasion of Venezuela as a reckless, corporate-backed disaster. Trump’s regime change plan rests on false narco-terror charges against Maduro. The real stakes? Venezuela’s vast oil and lithium resources. The so-called 'Cartel of the Suns' is CIA fabrication. The US aims to repeat colonial-era coups, destabilize the region, trigger mass migration, and enrich Trump’s business cronies. Right-wing exile elites fuel opposition’s military coup fantasies. Colombia’s Petro resists but lacks full military control. The Caribbean is militarized under a revived Monroe Doctrine. China’s regional influence fuels US panic. This invasion will deepen chaos, a humanitarian crisis, and global tensions.

A Propaganda Film By Betar USA
We are proud to present Grayzone subscribers with an early look at our behind-the-scenes portrait of Betar USA, the militant Zionist street group that claims credit for guiding the Trump administration's jailing and attempted deportation of pro-Palestine student activists.
After joining Betar, the producer of this documentary filmed a series of intimate interviews with Ronn Torossian, a famed New York public relations professional who helped establish Betar USA as a vehicle for advancing the ideology of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane in the US.
Presenting Torrossian and his henchmen in their own words, without an editorial filter or narration, this film offers a raw, bracing portrait of the most radical edge of American Zionism.

Neoliberal Ecuador gov't brutally represses protests
As Ecuador's Miami-born President Daniel Noboa’s austerity policies deepen inequality, the country's indigenous movement rises. As lands are auctioned off to foreign interests, citizens resist a new form of neo-feudalism in which the few profit while the many lose their rights, water, and future. This is not just a protest for diesel subsidies; it’s a decade-long conflict around mining projects opposed by the majority.

Jordan Goudreau exposes US gov't role in disastrous Venezuela coup plot
Facing years in prison on federal arms trafficking charges, former US Green Beret and mercenary Jordan Goudreau presents his side of the story in this explosive tell-all interview with The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal.
Lampooned in the media for his failed "Bay of Piglets" plot, Goudreau insists he was the scapegoat for a clandestine 2020 "Operation Gideon" which was well known to and blessed by the highest levels of the US government.
Goudreau details previously unseen court documents and FBI files containing testimony of those involved in the plan to invade Venezuela and overthrow President Nicolás Maduro.
The files include FBI interviews with participants in the plot which demonstrate foreknowledge of the plot by Trump associates, leaders of the government of Colombia, CIA assets, and officials working directly under Vice President Mike Pence and Trump, and strongly suggest their support for it.

US website The Grayzone geolocated an underground military command center, known as ‘Site 81,’ situated in a densely populated neighborhood of Tel Aviv. This U.S.-built facility reportedly houses a hyper-secretive intelligence base. Iranian ballistic missiles struck this area during an attack on June 13, prompting Israeli authorities to restrict media access to the damage.
While journalists were barred from capturing the aftermath, it was revealed that missiles hit the north tower of the Da Vinci apartment complex, just 550 meters from Israel's war ministry headquarters. This location is believed to be a command and control node shared by U.S. and Israeli forces, amidst ongoing accusations from Israel of adversaries using civilian areas for military purposes.
Additionally, leaked emails and drone imagery have confirmed the facility's existence, highlighting the complexities and implications of military operations occurring within civilian zones in violation of international law.
