The Strait of Hormuz must reopen, but that doesn’t mean New Zealand should fight someone else’s war.

Should New Zealand join a US-led mission in the Strait of Hormuz, or stay out of another Middle East conflict entirely?

Winston Peters hasn’t blown up Luxon over Iran out of principle. He is manufacturing a crisis, gutting National, and making his move.

They called it a ceasefire. MSF calls it something else entirely. Six months on, Gaza isn’t healing — it’s being squeezed, starved and slowly erased.

Winston Peters is heading to Washington, but Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa says he cannot afford another round of diplomatic cowardice while Gaza burns.

Trump is threatening Iran again — and the Alliance is asking why New Zealand is still tied to the fallout. How long do we stay hitched to this?

New Zealand’s role at the WTO is under scrutiny, with critics warning it is helping set a dangerous precedent that undermines global trade rules.
