Trump’s Iran war is on an Israeli leash
Trump’s Iran war is on an Israeli leash A reported strike plan, paused only until after the midterms, exposes the limits of American strategic independence. By Dr. Sara Neumann | MEMO | October 22, 2026 On October 21, the Financial Times reported that Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed his military to prepare a multi-day bombing campaign against Iran for the weekend of October 10—only for Donald Trump to block it until after the November 3 midterms .

The operation would have targeted electricity plants, nuclear facilities, and regime sites, surpassing the intensity of the joint offensive launched in February. Trump’s opposition did not end the war. It rescheduled it.

Bombing Iran Can Destroy Targets, Not Political Memory
0:00 / --:-- 1.0x Ready Military damage can be measured quickly. Strategic success depends on whether force changes Tehran’s political calculations rather than reinforcing the meaning of resistance. New U.S. strikes on Iran in early September, among the most substantial exchanges since July, again put a familiar measure of wartime success at center stage: what was hit, destroyed, or disabled. But the harder question begins after the damage is counted.

From maximum pressure to maximum leverage: What a US-Iran nuclear deal should look like
0:00 / --:-- 1.0x Ready The nuclear confrontation with Iran is again moving in two opposite directions. On 9 September, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors referred Iran to the UN Security Council over alleged breaches of its non-proliferation obligations, the first such referral in two decades. A day later, Donald Trump warned Tehran against renewed activity near the Pickaxe Mountain complex close to Natanz. Yet diplomacy has not disappeared.

Willful Isolation
During Donald Trump’s second presidential term, the United States has adopted isolationist policies, one of the most significant being the cessation of financial and logistical aid to global health institutions, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The Legacy of U.S. Presidents: A Less Secure World
The passing of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, comes at a time when the world is waiting for Donald Trump’s return for a second term. This moment invites reflection on the interventionist policy of the U.S.— A policy entangled in a paradox of advocating for human rights while interfering in the internal sovereignty of nations.
The Fragile State of Turkey: A Nation on the Brink of Collapse
Turkey stands at a critical juncture in history, facing severe domestic and international challenges that threaten its stability and territorial integrity.
The 2025 Election: A Decisive Turning Point for Global Stability
Analyzing the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump, alongside their respective policies during their tenures, provides a clear indication of the direction of both parties’ foreign policies will take if either candidate assumes the presidency in January 2025. Biden and Harris are expected to continue bolstering cooperation with European and East Asian allies, as well as NATO, much as they have done in the past.
New Middle East Strategy: Creating Order through War and Chaos
On July 25, 2006, amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Israel-Lebanon conflict, the then US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, articulated a vision for transformation during her visit to Jerusalem. She posited that the ongoing war was a harbinger of a “new Middle East,” where democratic and liberal forces would reshape the geopolitical landscape.
The Shifting Landscape of International Affairs: Beyond the Traditional Order
The era of American diplomatic excellence has ended. This is not a rhetorical claim; it is a reality that is unfolding and deteriorating. As veteran American diplomat Charles Freeman puts it: “We wield threats, harassment, sanctions, naval forces, and bombs, yet we neglect the subtle art of persuasion and genuine understanding.” The first sign of this diplomatic decline is the erosion of the order that the US established.
Gaza war and the Birth of Geopolitical Europe
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has left Europe divided and without good options to address it. Yet, Europe cannot escape the consequences of the violence. Europe’s reaction to the conflict was not only delayed, but also chaotic.
The West’s Nightmare: How Russia and Hamas are Winning the Geopolitical Wars
The West is losing ground to its rivals as time passes. This is the reality that the US and Europe are facing more than ever. The situation in Ukraine is stagnant, and the war fatigue has hampered and sometimes halted the aid to Kyiv. The prospect of Trump’s re-election as the US president looms over Ukraine as a frightening possibility. The war in Gaza is not going well for Israel and its Western allies, and Israel’s land and tunnel operations will take a long time.
How Hamas’ Attack on Israel Shattered Europe’s Dream of Influence in the Middle East
Authors: Nodir Boboev & Yihan Zhang The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) started in 2012 as a multiple organization of its original member-states such as China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The main goals of the SCO range from promoting good neighborly relations and mutual cooperation in spheres of economy, education, energy etc. to the maintenance of regional peace, security and stability.
Colloids for Catalysts: A Concept for the Preparation of Superior Catalysts of Industrial Relevance
Compared to conventional preparation methods for supported heterogeneous catalysts, the use of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) allows for a precise control over size, size distribution, and distribution/location of the NPs on the support. However, common colloidal syntheses have restrictions that limit their applicability for industrial catalyst preparation. We present a simple, surfactant‐free, and scalable preparation method for colloidal NPs to overcome these restrictions.
