This week on The Geopolity’s What We’re Watching, our analysts break down three major geopolitical developments that could reshape the global landscape.
🇹🇷 Türkiye unveils its first intercontinental ballistic missile — a dramatic signal of Ankara’s growing military ambitions, its expanding defence-industrial base, and the wider implications for the Middle East, Indian Ocean, and NATO.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump and Xi prepare for a high-stakes summit in Beijing — with trade, Taiwan, technology, rare earths, and the Iran war all on the table. Is this the start of a new Cold War détente, or simply a pause before deeper confrontation?
🇬🇧 Political earthquake in the United Kingdom — Labour suffers setbacks, Reform UK surges, separatist politics remain entrenched, and Britain’s traditional two-party order looks increasingly fragile.
In this episode, we examine what happened, why it matters, and what to watch next.

In this episode of Geopolitical Horizons, we take your questions as the US-Israel alliance war on Iran passes 10 weeks. We break down the reality behind the headlines. Why hasn’t Iran collapsed? Has the US strategy failed? And what does this war reveal about the future of global power?
We explore the questions we have received from the failed decapitation strategy to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and from Israel’s influence on US policy to the role of China, Russia, and regional powers.
This isn’t just a war in the Middle East — it’s a test of the global order.

Title:
This tafseer of Sūrah Qāf 50:28–31 continues the powerful sequence of the Hereafter.
The ayat expose the moment when people try to shift blame onto their qareen (close companion, associate, or influence that stayed attached to them), their elites, and the systems that misled them.
A smiling child in Gaza with three limbs amputated should shake the conscience of the Ummah.
But doesn’t Surah At-Takathur force us to ask: what kind of world becomes obsessed with wealth, power, and rivalry — then destroys entire families, speaks casually about “rebuilding,” and plans luxury over the blood of the oppressed?
Trump called it a total naval blockade. Total control of Iran’s coastline. Everything in. Everything out. Stopped.
So why is Iran’s oil still moving.
In this video we break down the genius strategy Iran is using to bypass America’s blockade. From coastal corridors that international law protects from US interdiction. To a port outside the blockade geography entirely. To six overland routes through Pakistan that Washington wasn’t even consulted on.
We also look at who this war of attrition actually favours. Because suffering the most and losing are not the same thing. And the side that reaches its political breaking point first is the side that loses. Regardless of who has the bigger navy.

Food Prices Will Explode Across the World - Iran War
This week on What We’re Watching, we break down three major geopolitical shifts that could reshape global power dynamics.
First, the United Arab Emirates signals a decisive break from OPEC, exposing a growing rift with Saudi Arabia and raising questions about the future of oil markets. Is this the beginning of the end for coordinated oil control?
Second, China moves to scrap tariffs for African nations, deepening its economic grip on the continent and accelerating its competition with the United States for influence across the Global South.
Finally, we examine Ukraine’s expanding drone war against Russia. With long-range strikes targeting critical energy infrastructure deep inside Russian territory, is Kyiv gaining the upper hand in the air—even as the ground war stalls?
From energy markets to great power competition and the future of warfare, these are the stories shaping the world right now.
