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 […]

In diplomatic practice, there is an unwritten but strict rule: the weaker a state is economically and politically, the more delicate the tone of any external player must be if they genuinely want reforms—not chaos. Lebanon today is a classic “fragile sovereignty.” After the 2020 Beirut port explosion, the subsequent financial collapse, the emigration of […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ethiopia’s Medemer philosophy and Russia’s collective security vision complement each other by promoting regional cooperation, strategic autonomy, and non-aggression frameworks for long-term Gulf stability. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” (Helen Keller) This article was inspired by Andrew Korybko’s earlier one titled “Ethiopia’s ‘Medemer’ Concept Would Serve The Gulf […]

One of the indicators of the ongoing shift in the global balance of power is the diminishing influence of Israel over US policy and on the overall situation in the Middle East. A crucial sign of the emerging divergence between US and Israeli policies was the conversation between Donald Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu on […]

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 […]

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 Middle East is not being remade; it is being contested widely and publicly. The emerging alignment between Israel and the United Arab Emirates appears, at first glance, to signal a decisive geopolitical shift. Yet beneath the optics of normalization and wartime cooperation lies a more complex struggle: not over whether the region will change, […]

The United Arab Emirates’ decision to leave OPEC has sparked intense debate about the future of the global oil market and the stability of collective production management. What would an expert tell me in layman’s language, particularly about who or what really stands behind this decision? Reports of the UAE leaving OPEC are often portrayed […]

The ongoing war in the Middle East has seen America and Israel indulge not just in gross violations of human rights but also in wanton violations of the rights of Mother Nature. In the annals of international law, an area that is rapidly gaining traction among countries is environmental law. Environmental law states that conservation […]

The four most militarily powerful Muslim-majority nations—Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Pakistan, and Egypt—are aligning based on strategic calculation rather than religious affinity. This development signals the emergence of a weaker America in the Middle East and a reordering of the great-power competition between the U.S. and China. Barry Buzan asserts that security is inherently regional, as […]

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 […]
