In this week’s episode, we break down the major global developments from July 11–18, 2025—a period marked by sharp instability and rising international tensions. From deepening humanitarian crises in Gaza to the resurgence of sectarian violence in Syria, we explore the growing volatility in the Middle East and the broader implications of foreign involvement. We also unpack the rising nuclear tensions tied to the Iran-Israel shadow conflict.

On the economic front, we examine how the United States’ latest wave of tariffs is shaking up trade dynamics, triggering both resistance and realignment across global markets. Plus, we look at the mounting pressure on international institutions and norms, as U.S. foreign aid cuts and geopolitical shifts challenge the foundations of global cooperation.
