After months of uncertainty and repeated threats to one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, ship trackers are reporting encouraging signs from the Strait of Hormuz: maritime traffic is beginning to recover.
Sports are supposed to bring the world together. But the reality is that geopolitical threats don’t disappear just because the world is gathering for a soccer tournament.
Artificial intelligence has become the newest front in economic warfare—and the Trump administration is making it clear that America’s most advanced AI systems are strategic assets, not commodities to be handed out freely.
While much of the world’s attention remains fixed on wars, elections, and economic turmoil, another threat is quietly gaining ground. Doctors Without Borders is warning that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is spreading faster than authorities can contain it—a sobering reminder that biological crises still have the power to disrupt nations and economies alike.
President Donald Trump announced Sunday that a deal with Iran has been completed, ordering the U.S. naval blockade lifted and declaring the Strait of Hormuz open once again.
