    Analysis

    Iran holds the keys to victory in the war with USA and Israel

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Iran demands five conditions. Trump’s diplomacy is denied. Israel’s economy collapses. GCC shifts toward strategic autonomy. Russia and China gain influence.

    Geopolitics

    Starmer’s handling of Trump and Iran reflects public opinion, but shows the limits of UK power

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Starmer balances public opinion against alliance pressures. Economic recovery is threatened. UK military capability gaps are exposed. Strategic autonomy debates intensify.

    Analysis

    Any Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon will work to Hezbollah’s advantage

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Hezbollah adapts to guerrilla warfare. Lebanese government cannot disarm the group without civil war. Occupation will reenergize resistance.

    Geopolitics

    Spectator, beneficiary, player: Russia’s strategy in the Iran war, from oil to drones

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Moscow avoids direct confrontation but gains from energy prices, signals US overstretch, and strengthens its hand in Ukraine negotiations.

    Governance

    Syria’s successful foreign policy masks a deeper risk

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Foreign policy gains insulate Syria from regional war, but internal divisions remain unresolved. Without inclusive national dialogue, external intervention will continue.

    Analysis

    The Iran war highlights the creeping use of AI in warfare

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    AI tools like Maven speed targeting but risks persist. No confirmation on AI use in school strike. Human oversight is critical.

    Security

    The War in Iran Could Become Like the War in Ukraine

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Iran wages attrition through exhaustion and pain. Air power is rarely decisive. US goals risk mission creep. Compromise is necessary.

    Policy Brief

    To End the Iran War, Trump Must Divorce Israel

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Israel disrupted a nuclear deal last year. Netanyahu fears any deal short of regime change. Trump must say no to sustain peace.

    Analysis

    Iran is real, but defense techies still prefer war gaming China

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    No sessions on Iran. Tech firms prefer war gaming China. Munitions stockpiles drain. AI tools face scrutiny over civilian deaths.

    Analysis

    Are the Houthis ready to strike?

    March 28, 2026 ARFA

    Houthis stand by to enter war if US lands in Iran. Missiles and drones are rebuilt. Riyadh may face renewed attacks.
