    No peace in sight: When will Sudan’s war end?

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Sudan’s war has no end in sight as UAE-backed RSF fights on, and analysts warn of major escalation before any ceasefire.

    Economy

    How the war on Iran is rewriting regional trade routes

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    IMEC rebuilt without Israel as center. Saudi rail to Jordan, Qatar-Saudi MOU, UAE pivots to Mediterranean exits. Diversification, not normalisation.

    Analysis

    Americans don’t want Iranians killed. As long as they’re hipsters

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Tehran hipsters go viral, and suddenly Westerners care about Iranian lives. The same bombs fall on Qom. Selective empathy.

    Security

    Iran’s Heat-Seeking Missiles Are a Nightmare for the US Air Force

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Iran’s heat-seeking missiles are cheap, passive, and deadly—forcing US warplanes to rethink low-altitude operations after multiple losses.

    Governance

    What a protest in Syria reveals about the country’s divides

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Security

    Why did Iran hit Kuwait so hard?

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Economy

    Hormuz is the war’s invoice—and Washington can’t pay it

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Hormuz is an economic nuclear option. Iran holds it open to force a deal as US inflation mounts and Trump scrambles.

    Analysis

    Pakistan’s pageant, Washington’s whim, Iran’s refusal

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Pakistan’s military staged fake Iran-US talks for relevance, but Tehran refused the performance—exposing diplomatic theater over substance.

    Policy Brief

    April 28, 2026 ARFA

    Trump’s Iran war passes the legal deadline this week. Courts must act, or constitutional war powers become meaningless.
