President Trump on Monday said two crew members who were aboard a U.S. attack helicopter when they crashed near the Strait of Hormuz are “fine.” The two crew members, whose AH-64 Apache helicopter was patrolling regional waters, were rescued within two hours after they crashed near Oman’s coast, according to U.S. Central Command (Centcom).

The escalation of the conflict between Iran and the US-Israeli coalition has caused a multidimensional crisis that has a significant impact on Indonesia, requiring it to develop a maritime defense strategy that is in line with international law and ensures national resilience. Tensions peaked when Iran officially closed the Strait of Hormuz on March 1, […]

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 global economy has yet to grasp the main military secret of the Middle East: the next big war will not begin with a strike on oil rigs but with a “silent shutdown” of the internet. While the Pentagon spends billions on missile defense, Iran has found an asymmetric response to the technological superiority of […]

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 […]

The ongoing war in the Middle East is having wide ranging implications as far as the changing nature of the existing world order is concerned. It no longer will remain the same. In the realm of international relations, certain events have contributed to seismic shifts in the nature of the world order. The two World […]

The spectacle of humiliation orchestrated by Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was the moment when the mask of the “only democracy in the Middle East” finally morphed into the snarl of fascist thuggery. Under the cover of American bayonets and the indifference of the world’s “leaders,” Israel’s far-right no longer hides its dream: […]

Netanyahu and Trump are conditioning the end of the war in Iran on the condition that all countries in the region sign the Abraham Accords, a tacit submission to Israel. Drawing on Daniel Levy, Omer Bartov, and the Pew Survey, I address the reasons, the urgency, and the limits of Netanyahu’s simultaneous battles on several […]

Trump remained noncommittal about a timeline for settling the Iran conflict, saying the Strait of Hormuz might stay blocked through the Labour Day holiday on Sept. 7.

Why the “Peacemaker” Kushner’s peace plan became the detonator for a new Middle East war. He came to the White House to broker “the deal of the century,” but ended up unleashing a war that closed the Strait of Hormuz. The billions in petrodollars that Persian Gulf princes spent on Jared Kushner’s services turned out […]

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. Ansar Allah as a Strategic Asset of Iran: Transnational Doctrine and Regional Security Ansar […]

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 revelation that Israel established secret military bases inside Iraq during the recent war against Iran is far more than another episode in the region’s long history of covert operations. It signals a deeper transformation in Middle Eastern geopolitics: the normalization of clandestine cross-border military infrastructures, the erosion of Iraqi sovereignty, and the increasingly blurred […]

As Pakistan pushes for diplomacy between the US and Iran, growing pressure from pro-Israel circles threatens to derail the peace process and weaken Islamabad’s influence. Behind the scenes, lobbying, political maneuvering, and regional rivalries are intensifying tensions at a critical moment. What should have been a path toward de-escalation is rapidly turning into a wider […]

By means of pursuing its aggressive policy in the Middle East, Israel intends to redirect the transit of energy resources through its own territory. Control over the routes of hydrocarbon supplies to the world markets inevitably increases the economic and political significance of the territories and countries located along these routes. The Middle East retains […]

The ongoing war in the Middle East has seen American defense companies making gargantuan profits; these profits, however, come at the cost of the blood of hundreds of thousands of Iranians who have become the victims of American and Israeli aggression. War is said to be good for business. This, perhaps, can’t be any truer […]
