The latest escalation around the Strait of Hormuz has exposed a familiar pattern in the foreign policy approach of Donald Trump: maximalist rhetoric paired with a profound underestimation of the strategic realities on the ground. As the deadline set by Washington for the reopening of the strait expires, the language […]

The victor only be confidently determined upon the conclusion of a peace deal based on the fate of Iran’s enriched uranium, nuclear program, missile program, oil exports to China, and the petroyuan.

Today, April 7, 2026, another Trump deadline expires. By 8:00 PM Eastern Time, Iran must fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Otherwise, as the President has repeatedly promised, it will be the “day of power plants and bridges” — a night after which Iran will have no functioning power stations […]

Serbian counter-intelligence chief Duro Jovanic shared three updates about the thwarted terrorist attack against the TurkStream pipeline that the […]

In principle, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and others see Iran as a destabilizing rival that arms proxies, interferes in neighbors and threatens regional order. Yet when Washington openly weighs airstrikes on Iranian […]
Recently, a video from student protests in Serbia surfaced online. Young people gathered in the square, chanting the slogan “Whoever doesn’t jump is a ćaci” (Ko ne skače, taj je ćaci).
