In A Nutshell

Militaries and defense companies across the globe have quietly conceded: The Shahed loitering munition, an inexpensive, long-range, kamikaze drone from Iran, is no longer a curiosity. It's the blueprint.

In the complex and turbulent world of Palestinian resistance, few figures have commanded as much attention and influence as Yahya Sinwar. As the orchestrator of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, Sinwar emerged not only as a leader but as a strategic mastermind, shaping the course of events with a combination of tactical skill and relentless resolve.

On Friday, September 12th, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the world’s diplomats once again took up one of the most enduring and divisive questions of modern history: the future of Palestine. In a vote that drew overwhelming support, the General Assembly passed what’s being called the "New York Declaration," a resolution reasserting the so-called 'two-state solution." Sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia, the measure calls for the peaceful creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. The tally: 142 countries voted in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstained.

The echoes of Israeli-American genocide in Gaza travel far. On some nights, in Tel Aviv, 70 kilometers away, residents say they can hear the thundering reverberations of bombs falling on Gaza. For nearly two years, those echoes have been relentless. And the toll, staggering.

For decades, China’s rise was cast as an economic miracle, the workshop of the world, churning out cheap goods that filled American homes and boosted corporate profits. Today, the story is very different. The United States calls China its greatest threat. Tariffs, sanctions, and military maneuvers dominate headlines. The question is: where does all this hostility come from?

Netanyahu calls it Greater Israel; a vision, a mission, a destiny. For Palestinians, it means erasure, exile, and death. While diplomats argue over maps and proposals, Gaza fills with mass graves. How long will the world stand by as ambition is written in blood?

The Gaza genocide is entering its 23rd month. It has left Gaza in ruins, children buried under rubble, and families starving. And now, Israel signals it might consider a ceasefire. But can that be taken seriously when the reality on the ground tells a very different story?

A hidden crisis grips Israel: soldier suicides are rising post-Gaza war.

Each year, in the heart of Iraq, an event unfolds on a scale almost too vast to imagine, and yet, you've likely never seen a headline about it. No breaking news alerts. No live coverage. No prime-time documentaries. But this is Arbaeen, a pilgrimage that draws over 20 million people from across the globe. A peaceful walk. An ocean of humanity. A spiritual protest. And a story that, for the most part, the Western media doesn't tell. Arbaeen takes place 40 days after Ashura, the day marking the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. In 680 AD, he and 72 of his companions were killed in the desert plains of Karbala by the forces of Yazid, a tyrant of the Umayyad dynasty.

Iran retaliated against US strikes on its nuclear sites by targeting Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the heart of American military operations in West Asia. Fourteen ballistic missiles destroyed a critical communications hub, exposing US vulnerability. Despite official denials, the damage was strategic and deliberate. Iran’s restraint issuing a 12-hour warning forced Washington to heed its deterrence. The attack shattered the myth of US invincibility, leading to an immediate ceasefire and signaling a shift in regional power. Iran’s message: West Asia is no longer America’s playground.
