In the days before U.S. airstrikes hit Iran’s Fordow and Isfahan nuclear sites, satellite images captured convoys of cargo trucks leaving the facilities. Nuclear experts now believe Iran relocated more than 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium—enough for 10 nuclear weapons—to a secret location, a move that has left U.S. …

Paradoxically, President Donald Trump appears to have secured an end or perhaps a pause to the 12-day Iran-Israel war with a fragile ceasefire but there is no guarantee that it will not resume again. Even Trump isn’t confident about the “ceasefire” he is taking credit for. Interestingly, notwithstanding the claims …

As the EU unveils its 18th package of sanctions against Russia, calls are growing to provide Ukraine with the 300 billion dollars of frozen Russian state assets. How feasible and impactful would such a move be? A showdown between the EU and the bloc’s two most pro-Russian members, Hungary and …

Israel has turned key components of Iran’s tyrannical regime into rubble. In solidarity with the Iranian people who have long endured the regime’s brutality, the first wave of Israeli strikes from June 13-18 targeted those who have most repressed them: senior military commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), …

Alors que le conflit entre Israël et l’Iran semble s’être calmé du moins pour le moment. Donald Trump s’est comporté comme à son habitude en empereur de l’Occident en imposant une augmentation des budgets militaires des membres de l’OTAN. Convenons-en, il est probable que les pays européens ont beaucoup trop …

C’est probablement l’analyse géopolitique la plus importante que j’ai entendue cette année, sinon cette décennie. Hugh White est largement reconnu comme l’un des plus grands penseurs stratégiques australiens. Il a été le premier directeur de l’Institut australien de Politique Stratégique (ASPI) et l’ancien Secrétaire adjoint à la Stratégie et au …
