    How Lebanon’s Sunnis Approach Peace With Israel

    April 27, 2026 ARFA

    Lebanese Sunnis back the state and reject normalisation with Israel. Region-wide shifts—Saudi, Turkish, Syrian—reinforce this stance.

    Policy Brief

    Can the US-Israel ‘Special Relationship’ Survive the Iran War?

    April 27, 2026 ARFA

    Netanyahu undermines US-Iran talks. Public support for Israel collapses. The “special relationship” becomes conditional and transactional.

    Security

    Who is responsible when an AI weapon pulls the trigger?

    April 27, 2026 ARFA

    AI targeting broke the laws of war. Algorithms that decide who dies cannot be cross-examined. Opaque, unchallengeable, devastating.

    How Hezbollah Is Planning to Sabotage Israel-Lebanon Peace

    April 27, 2026 ARFA

    Hezbollah threatens to “turn country upside down” to block Lebanon-Israel peace. Talks could bring state sovereignty or internal collapse.

    The Conspiracy Theory Behind Tucker Carlson’s Apology

    April 26, 2026 ARFA

    Tucker apologizes but blames Zionist “globalists” for Trump’s Iran war. A new stab-in-the-back myth to avoid confronting their own complicity.

    Analysis

    The mandate to speak: Before the world goes dark

    April 26, 2026 ARFA

    Psychiatrists warned in 2017. Now Trump’s cognitive decline and nuclear trigger finger make that warning an active global crisis.

    Analysis

    The Iranian people are not waiting to thank Trump

    April 26, 2026 ARFA

    Iranians are not waiting to thank Trump. Foreign attack triggers defense of homeland, not regime collapse. Reuters confirms.

    A Taiwan crisis would cause far more global economic damage than Strait of Hormuz disruption

    April 26, 2026 ARFA

    A potential Taiwan blockade threatens a greater economic catastrophe than the Strait of Hormuz, driven by irreplaceable semiconductor supply chain dependencies.

    Governance

    Has Iran’s ideology actually hardened?

    April 26, 2026 ARFA

    Iran’s ideology hasn’t hardened. It’s consolidated under IRGC control. Compromise language remains, but is compressed and depersonalized.

    April 26, 2026 ARFA
