Diplomacy
Small countries developing new strategies of war courage and power
Military power is traditionally understood through air forces, tanks, warships, and vast armies. However, this notion is now changing. Because missile and drone capabilities, along with the mental resilience of the people, have emboldened weaker nations, and the new strategic challenges they are posing against powerful states are becoming evident in the course of subsequent events.
China-India relations in new world order
Everyone knows that a new world order has been formed. In this new system, the position of each country—who is forming new friendships with whom, who is supporting whom militarily and economically—is being re-shaped. For instance, the long-standing bond between Europe and the United States saw a crack, particularly after Donald Trump became President. Their relationship is now more commercial and win-win rather than cordial. Their common interest is in standing against socialism and maintaining Western influence. Beyond that, the blind support the United States had previously given to Europe, and the various benefits extended, were withdrawn by the Trump administration. This has put Europe in a somewhat difficult position, and Europe is now busy rapidly increasing its military strength. That is, it no longer wants to be fully dependent on the United States as before. As a result, alongside the United States, Russia, and China, Europe is likely to emerge as a visible military power soon.
The reality of Gaza behind the Iran-Israel conflict
Torture, human rights violations, genocide, hunger, displacement—such heart-wrenching terms now seem reserved solely for Gaza. For the past twenty months, indiscriminate brutal killings have been ongoing in the region, targeting men, women, and children alike. The hellish massacre in Gaza is hard for any normal person to comprehend. These heart-breaking scenes are not isolated incidents—there are thousands of them. All perpetrated by Israel, backed by the United States. Millions live there in uncertainty. They have no food, no shelter, no contact with relatives. The people of Gaza are enduring an inhumane and tragic life. As if they are trapped in a nightmare. There is no accurate count of how many people have died so far. The procession of the dead grows heavier every day.
Proliferation of nuclear weapons and International Atomic Energy Agency
The nearly seven-decade-old International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) works to ensure the peaceful use of nuclear energy worldwide. At the same time, one of its responsibilities is to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Hats off salute to Iran
June 21, 2025; America launched airstrikes on three nuclear installations in Iran and destroyed them. Unless peace is restored swiftly, US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike again with precision at the remaining targets. Iran retaliated through compromise. Iran informed in advance and then attacked the American base in Qatar. After the US had evacuated everything from the base, Iran launched its missiles.
A distant war, a real threat for Bangladesh
Bangladesh is currently under pressure from various directions—economic, social and environmental. We are a resource-deficient country, heavily dependent on imports for most of our energy and basic needs. Our economy is still agriculture-based, yet our population density is among the highest in the world. Every year, floods, tidal surges and the impact of climate change are increasing. Unemployment, especially among the youth, is a major crisis.
Latest update: Iran-Israel conflict
Iran and Israel launched missile strikes at each other on Friday as the air war between the two longtime enemies entered a 11th day despite a call from US President Donald Trump for Iran's unconditional surrender.
Iran-Israel war puts global economy at risk
From the beginning of creation to the present day, the history of the world has been soaked in the blood of Adam’s descendants. Thousands of innocent people have been sacrificed in the name of asserting one's greatness. Throughout the ages, the ruling class has been desperate to assert power or establish dominance over others. As a result, the soil of earth has been soaked with the blood of millions of innocents. Although wars are initiated by the ruling class, it is the ordinary people who lose their lives. The current history of the world is no exception. The global population has already witnessed the devastation of two world wars.
What is the real reason behind Israel's Iran attacks
The Iran-Israel conflict has now entered its fifth day. Many are still reluctant to call it a direct war and prefer to describe it as a conflict. Perhaps this is an attempt to downplay the severity of the situation. Moreover, the armies of the two sides have yet to be deployed on the ground. The war is being fought in the skies. It seems both parties are attempting to demonstrate their aerial capabilities. Even though direct warfare has not begun, the number of casualties is steadily increasing. According to the latest reports, Iran's Ministry of Health has stated that 224 people have been killed in Iran due to Israeli bombings, while the Israeli Ministry of Defence has reported 24 Israeli deaths due to Iranian missile strikes. This indicates that as the conflict escalates, so too will the casualties. We still do not know where or how this will end. But why did Israel preemptively attack Iran? The real reason is revealed in Al Jazeera’s analysis.
Uncertain future of Middle East under shadow of Israeli attack on Iran
In June 2025, the Middle East seems to have entered a new, more bloody and uncertain chapter of its prolonged instability. This largest and most comprehensive airstrike in recent memory, carried out by Israel, has not only pushed Iran’s military infrastructure to the brink of destruction, but has also brought about a deep ideological, diplomatic, and political crisis. The significance of this attack is not limited to the number of bombs and missiles—it is a well-planned, multilayered, and symbolic strike that has called into question the existence, identity, and regional leadership claim of Iran’s state system.
