Six months into the US–Israel war with Iran, the strategic dynamic is changing. Tehran is increasingly seeking to impose costs of its own - with consequences for regional security, energy markets and wider geopolitical risk. theconversation.com/iran-war-teh...

Lindsey Graham: A Faithful Servant of the American Foreign Policy Establishment. The article argues that Lindsey Graham is more than an individual political figure—he represents the remarkable continuity of the American foreign policy establishment across changing administrations.

The 2026 #FIFAWorldCup is far more than a sporting spectacle. As the #UnitedStates marks its 250th anniversary, the tournament has become a global stage on which questions of power, legitimacy, identity, and international order are playing out.

A new face, familiar expectations. Ali al-Zaidi enters office with momentum and public optimism, but Iraq’s biggest obstacle is not leadership; it’s a political system that has outlasted every would-be reformer. www.theamargi.com/posts/why-ho...

Why hopes for Iraq’s new PM Ali al-Zaidi may be misplaced

Iraq’s youngest prime minister Ali al-Zaidi has sparked optimism, but structural political barriers, and not leadership, remain the real obstacle to meaningful reform.

Our latest piece for @theamargi.bsky.social examines a question that would have seemed unthinkable just a decade ago: are we entering a genuinely post-American Middle East? www.theamargi.com/posts/post-a...

The post-American Middle East is arriving

A new regional war exposes the limits of US military protection, accelerating the Middle East’s transition toward a fragmented, multipolar order.

More than 15 years ago, I first read The Art of War and saw it mainly as a classic text on strategy and statecraft. Reading it again in the context of the Iran war felt completely different. www.theamargi.com/posts/sun-tz...

Our latest piece: King Charles III’s address to the U.S. Congress was less about transformation/ more about performance - polished diplomacy that reinforces, rather than challenges, an unjust global status quo. For @thewirein.bsky.social with Prof @usempire.bsky.social thewire.in/world/king-c...

King Charles III’s Speech to US Congress Was Mere Theatre Masking an Unjust Status Quo

Beneath the elegant rhetoric and standing ovations lay a studied evasion of the most pressing moral and strategic fractures of our time.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them
