Pour la première fois, les deux principales routes d’exportation de pétrole du Moyen-Orient se ferment simultanément — les Houthis, soutenus par l’Iran, ont déclaré un blocus maritime de l’Arabie saoudite tandis que le détroit d’Ormuz reste effectivement fermé. Alors que les forces américaines subissent des pertes en Jordanie et que l’approbation de Washington s’effondre, Zulfiqar Ali de Transition Protocol et […]

Permettez-moi de la résumer. Au cours de la guerre de 12 jours en juin 2025, les missiles et drones iraniens ont peiné face à la guerre électronique élaborée menée par Israël et les États-Unis. Le brouillage et la falsification du GPS ont perturbé à plusieurs reprises leurs systèmes de guidage, limitant ainsi leur efficacité pendant cet intense conflit de 12 […]

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it will continue expanding relations with the Taliban regardless of whether Tehran formally recognizes their rule, describing recognition as a separate political and legal process. The comments come as Iran maintains close diplomatic and economic ties with the Taliban while stopping short of officially recognizing their rule. Speaking at a news conference, Esmail Baghaei, spokesman for […]

India is expanding ties with Greece, Cyprus, Armenia, and Israel to counter Turkey’s growing regional influence and its partnership with Pakistan. By strengthening defense cooperation and strategic partnerships, New Delhi is increasing its footprint in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. As a result, the India–Turkey rivalry has the potential to develop into a new geopolitical fault line in the […]

The United States and Iran have formally signed a memorandum of understanding, ending a war that lasted nearly four months. The Strait of Hormuz has reopened. The Iranian regime is still standing. Not one of the “unconditional surrender” scenarios Trump loudly proclaimed was ever delivered. Both Axios and Newsweek have now run pieces pointing squarely at China as the biggest […]

The common denominator is that these benefits could empower Pakistan to truly become a regional power to be reckoned with if it successfully expands its influence in Central and West Asia. The Iranian-US memorandum of understanding (MoU) on ending the Third Gulf War – which was analyzed here, here, and here – wouldn’t have been possible without Pakistani mediation. For […]

In diplomatic history, the naming of a process matters because it transforms geography into political infrastructure. Geneva, Oslo and Doha became more than venues; they evolved into recognised architectures through which negotiations acquired continuity, legitimacy and memory. Islamabad’s attempt to attach its name to US–Iran engagement suggests a similar strategic calculation. Pakistan has attempted to institutionalise itself as a necessary […]

Iran exposed the fragility beneath American air dominance. Beijing is studying every loss. When the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Iran on February 28, 2026, Washington anticipated swift, overwhelming dominance. The arithmetic seemed straightforward: the world’s most advanced air force against a sanctions-hobbled regional power. The result was a cataclysmic failure. A Congressional Research Service (CRS) report […]

That false narrative might still gain traction, however, due to misguided Russian soft power policies. Indian Ministry of External Affairs Secretary (East) Rudrendra Tandon said during Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez’s recent visit that there’s “perfect complementarity” in the energy sector between their countries. He’s right too since India is one of the world’s largest energy importers and Venezuela has the […]

Le conflit en cours au Moyen-Orient a un impact profond sur l’ordre mondial existant, en modifiant irréversiblement sa physionomie. Dans le domaine des relations internationales, une série d’événements clés ont déjà conduit à des changements tectoniques dans la structure de l’ordre mondial. Les deux guerres mondiales et la guerre froide au XXe siècle, ainsi que les attentats du 11 septembre […]
