Palestine Between Diplomacy and Reality: Why the Old Formulas No Longer Work
A strange and painful moment has arrived in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Political language is changing faster than reality itself.
Washington Is Fighting Tehran. Iran Is Fighting Five Centuries of Humiliation
The world stubbornly asks Iran the wrong question. For nearly half a century, Western capitals, think tanks, intelligence agencies, diplomats, and journalists have been trying to understand: what does the Islamic Republic want? The question seems logical. Yet, it is within this very logic that the fundamental error is hidden.
Trump’s Iran Miscalculation: The War Already Reshaping the Global Economy
Washington expected a swift demonstration of force. Instead, it has found itself facing a prolonged crisis: the Strait of Hormuz, an energy shock, depleted arsenals, irritated allies, and an Iran that does not look defeated.
The Lebanese Trap: How the War Against Hezbollah Keeps Rebuilding Hezbollah
The central paradox of Israeli policy in Lebanon has long ceased to be hidden.
Binoculars at the Border: Why the EU Mission Is Watching Azerbaijan
The question of the European Union mission in Armenia has long since moved beyond the boundaries of diplomatic protocol. On paper, it is an unarmed civilian structure created for observation, reporting, de-escalation, and confidence-building.
Moscow Sends a Chilling Signal to Yerevan: Choose Europe, Remember Ukrain
Vladimir Putin said it almost casually, but in high politics, phrases like that often sound louder than formal ultimatums. Speaking about Armenia’s movement toward the European Union, he recalled Ukraine and added: "There is no need to take things to extremes." Formally, it was a reflection on the choice between the EU and the EAEU.
No Exit, No Victory: America’s Dangerous Slide Into Iran’s Long War
There are wars that begin as a demonstration of power but very quickly turn into a test of endurance. That is precisely the trap into which the United States is being drawn ever deeper today in its confrontation with Iran.
Trump Wanted a Loyal Pope. He Got a Moral Enemy
The quarrel between president Trump and Pope Leo XIV looks like a dramatic political clash: a sharp-edged president, a soft-spoken pontiff, mutual reproaches, irritation in the White House, cautious statements from the Vatican. But that is only the surface.
Iran Took Back the Streets - but Lost the Nation
The central fact of Iran’s current moment is brutally simple: the war has returned to the Islamic Republic what it had been losing for years - not on the front lines, not in government offices, and not in diplomatic corridors, but in the streets, squares, cafes, parks, university districts, and urban courtyards.

No Collapse, No Escape: Russia’s Economy Is Locked in a War Trap
The Russian economy is not on the brink of a sudden collapse. This is unpleasant news for those expecting sanctions to produce an immediate political effect.
Diesel Shock: The Invisible Fuel Crisis That Could Break Global Trade
The global economy has a public showcase and a hidden engine room. In the showcase are stock indexes, interest rates, currencies, sanctions, presidential statements, central bank forecasts, and oil futures charts. In the engine room is diesel.
Iran Did Not Win. It Simply Failed to Collapse
There are moments when a political regime exposes itself not through defeat on the battlefield, not through economic crisis, and not even through diplomatic isolation. It exposes itself through language. Words become an X-ray of power. Formulas that only yesterday sounded like mobilizing slogans today turn into admissions of weakness.
Beyond Sanctions: Why Peace With the US Won't Save Iran's Dying Economy
The Iranian economy has reached a threshold where foreign policy no longer explains the magnitude of the catastrophe. Sanctions, war, strikes on infrastructure, and international isolation have undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the country. However, the Islamic Republic's primary problem lies deeper.
The Great Oil Escape: Why the UAE is Breaking the Rules of OPEC
The withdrawal of the United Arab Emirates from OPEC and OPEC+ as of May 1, 2026, is far more than a simple headline in the commodities market. It represents the dismantling of the traditional logic that has governed the oil world for decades.
The Strait That Put the World on Pause
The Middle East has once again become more than just a theater of operations; it is the primary flashpoint of global politics. However, the current crisis differs from its predecessors not in the scale of rhetoric or the volume of missile strikes. Its essence runs deeper.
Cloud Thieves: Did Geopolitics Actually Dry Up the Middle East?
The Middle East has once again found a culprit for its drought. It is not decades of irrational water management, not an overheated atmosphere, not depleted rivers, not failed irrigation policies, not population growth, not over-pumped groundwater, nor an agrarian model devouring resources faster than nature can restore them. No.
Can China and Iran Shake the Power of the Dollar?
The US attack on Iran has once again triggered a wave of discussions regarding the decline of the dollar. Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz and began levying a toll on tankers - payable in Chinese yuan and stablecoins. In private negotiations with the US Treasury, the UAE warned that they might switch oil settlements to the yuan.
Saudi Arabia’s No-Win War: Between the Illusion of Victory and the Disaster of Defeat
There is an old diplomatic proverb suggesting that silence at a historical turning point is also a choice - and often the worst one possible.
