The Soviet Union was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia in 1926. However, these relations later cooled down. Aside from the ups and downs after 1938, from 1979 onwards, reasons such as the Soviet-Afghan War, the Cold War, and Saudi Arabia’s support for Afghan mujahideen in close cooperation with the United States, ...

Bangladesh has been observing a significant transformation since the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid after a student uprising. The interim government has taken numerous steps to put an end to the controversial legacy of the former government. However, the recent ban on the Awami League could lead the country to political...

The United States government may treat international law as optional - selectively citing it when convenient and scoffing at it when it condemns allies - but this does not erase the law itself. The legal frameworks governing armed conflict and civilian protection - from the Geneva Conventions to the Genocide Convention12 - are not mere diplomatic niceties. T...

The implications of Iran’s nuclear program are not what we think. Tehran renounced the atomic bomb in 1988, but is attempting, with Russia’s cooperation, to discover the secrets of nuclear fusion. If it succeeds, it would help the Southern states decolonize by freeing themselves from oil. As for the implications of the bombing of certain Iranian nuclear site...

I have scurried in part 1 of this series, through the historical journey of Kashmir, being conquered and reconquered, as its mantle of rule was being tossed from the hand of one empire to another, since the Vedic Era, till we touched down at the partition of India in 1947. Now, let’s close up on the timeline, during the period that led to the Treaty of Amrit...

Kashmir continues to be the victim of a long history of ancient imperial shuffling, and contemporary nation-state border disputes, inherited from a long history of heterogeneity, unassimilable ethnic and nationalistic allegiances, and irreconcilable sectarian and religious divisions. It is understandable why some analysts would call “Kashmir” the “Palestine”...

The confrontation between Israel and Iran does not at all correspond to the image presented by the media. Its roots lie in a period before the Islamic Republic and has no connection with the construction of a nuclear bomb. Its outbreak today is intended to conceal the misdeeds of the Argentinian Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy...

As of this writing, the Trump White House has launched an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran – a country that already is the victim of an unprovoked aggression by Israel. B-52 bombers have hit three major nuclear facilities; batteries of Tomahawk missiles also have been fired. The potential consequences are catastrophic. This action is in violation of th...

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Agency (SVR) warned that the Brits and Ukrainians are preparing two false flag scenarios in the Baltic Sea. The first one would see Ukrainian-transferred Soviet / Russian torpedoes explode near a US ship there and a supposedly malfunctioning one will then be found to implicate Russia in the alleged attack The second, meanwhile, ...

Recently, a small detail of the magnificent passing out parade of the National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, for 339 officers, including 19 women, caught my eye. The function was held at Habibullah Hall of the Academy on 29 May. Who is Habibullah? Not many remember him. He is Major General Enaith Habibullah, who was the first Commandant of the NDA when...

With the Western world largely busy in fuelling conflicts (against Russia) and China (in Taiwan), and Palestinians (in Gaza), the so-called ‘middle powers’ in the global hierarchy of states are taking key steps to reshape the global order from below. These powers’ behaviour is also fundamentally different from the Trump administration’s policies of imposing ...

Have you noticed how many wars there are without being declared? Israel launches a military attack on Iran and Iran retaliates, but there is no declaration of war. Israel will attack again, and Iran will again respond by retaliating. But neither country is at war. Russia has been in conflict with Ukraine since February, 2023, but it is a Special Military Ope...

It all started in the early morning hours of 13 June 2025, with what Israel calls “Operation Rising Lion”. Israel’s Air Force launched dozens of air strikes against Iran, targeting its nuclear [energy] program. According to BBC, in Iran’s own words, this is the biggest assault on Iran’s territory since the Iran-Iraq War of...

This is not just a leak - it’s a total collapse of Israel’s security apparatus, which failed to protect even its most guarded state secrets. According to sources close to Iranian intelligence, the operation was one of the largest in the history of the two nations’ confrontation. The archives now in Tehran’s possession contain thousands of documents, includin...

The NATO summit in The Hague could mark the end of the European Union. The President of the United States has announced that he may no longer ensure the security of the EU. If this were the case, there would be an urgent need to reorganize the stability of the European continent. Washington already has its solution: replacing the current one around Germany w...

Most people still think of artificial intelligence as a single brain-like machine - a futuristic mind that speaks in smooth tones, answers questions, plays music, writes poems, and maybe someday drives our cars or runs our governments. But that’s a fantasy version of AI, projected by Silicon Valley marketing departments and consumed by a public too...

In 2012, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that “The nuclear weapons remain the most important guarantee of Russia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and play a key role in maintaining the regional balance and stability.” In the intervening years, western analysts and observers have accused Russia and its leadership of irresponsibly invoking the...

Large-scale unrest has gripped parts of Los Angeles since late last week [June 6-ed] in response to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) recent operations against illegal immigrants there. Trump authorized the National Guard to restore order but clashes still continue. The unrest poses a pressing national security threat since it concerns the coun...

It is surprising that many are surprised that the pseudo-negotiations on Ukraine have fallen flat. They are over before any substantive exchanges between Moscow and Kiev started. Trump’s much heralded initiative to stop the fighting never carried the necessary understanding or conviction. Yes, he did say a few things during the campaign and the transition th...

Ukraine’s strategic drone strikes on Sunday against elements of Russia’s nuclear triad all across the country were an unprecedented provocation that risks a dramatic worsening of the conflict. Speculation has since swirled about whether Trump knew about these attacks in advance, which his Press Secretary denied. What follows are five relevant points, each ac...
