During an Atlantic Council event, Wright said that traffic through the strait, a key oil shipping chokepoint, was “rising very meaningfully.” He added that oil…

Donald Trump’s attempt to tie an Iran peace settlement to a mandatory expansion of the Abraham Accords reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of how dramatically the Middle East has changed since the Gaza war and why old diplomatic formulas no longer work. Donald Trump has a habit of mistaking the décor of diplomacy for its substance. […]

The US and Israeli aggression against Iran, which began on February 28, has undermined confidence in the American administration, especially given that Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to renounce new wars of aggression. It has shaken international affairs, led to a serious energy crisis, seriously complicated the economic life of many countries in the Global […]

by R. Cort Kirkwood, The New American: Former U.S. counterterrorism chief Joe Kent is warning about the danger of an Israel-first provision in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would permanently entangle the U.S. and Israeli militaries, making them almost one. Introduced as free-standing legislation, Section 224 of the NDAA, the United States-Israel […]

Yemen’s full-scale entry into the conflict could lead to the formation of a multi-layered and extensive front, which could increase pressure on the US and Israel, deprive the enemy of the initiative, and turn the conflict into a war of attrition.

The US President Donald Trump hints at plans to expand the Abraham Accords as an exit strategy from the Iran war, along with announcing the end of the US naval blockade of Iran. This move could shift regional security to Israel, making the US less responsible. A Diplomatic Exit Strategy Disguised as Regional Realignment President […]

The Iran war has reshaped global geopolitics by weakening U.S. credibility and the liberal world order, intensifying regional instability in the Middle East, disrupting energy markets and economies, and accelerating the shift of global power toward emerging alliances led by Russia and China. Global Disruption and the Shifting World Order The US-Israeli attack on Iran […]

Just like warmongering Europe, the Gulf petro-monarchies are paying the price for delegating their defense and security to Washington, their enemy disguised as a savior. In reality, if the Gulf States do not break structurally with the current logic, the next regional crisis will find them in the same position – alone, exposed, watching American […]

A ceasefire with Iran presupposes a negotiating process and the search for mutually acceptable compromises. Yet time is passing, and no solutions are in sight. Iran Stiffens Its Stance The enforced ceasefire with Iran at the beginning of April was driven by a certain degree of exhaustion within the American-Israeli coalition. However, nobody guaranteed that […]

Iraq is no longer just a battlefield — it’s becoming Israel’s hidden launchpad against Iran, exposing Baghdad’s weak sovereignty and dangerous double game. If Iraq fails to shut down foreign covert operations now, it risks turning itself into the next front line of a catastrophic regional war. “The Iraqis have a country that inherited cultures […]

The American-Israeli aggression against Iran, which broke out on 28 February, is drastically reshaping not only the configuration of power in the Persian Gulf but also worldwide.

The British magazine The Economist […]

Just a few weeks ago, the Middle East held its breath in anticipation of a ceasefire, but behind closed doors in Washington and Tel Aviv, a new storm was being brewed. The failure of Donald Trump’s “China round” of negotiations became the trigger for reviving a scenario the world had desperately tried to forget: a […]

The conflict over the Strait of Hormuz has evolved from a military duel into a geopolitical chess match, where the stakes are measured in percentages of global GDP, and the ceasefire hangs by a thread. The New Reality of a Double Blockade What began as a military operation has turned into a protracted crisis that […]

Recent US and Israeli attacks on Iran were a brazen violation of international law and a betrayal of ongoing diplomatic efforts. This “war” was unleashed upon a nation already burdened by hardship. The reasoning for the conflict is vague justifications and a carefully crafted media narrative. Many nations view the crisis as a profound injustice […]
