  • Four years in, war in Ukraine grinds on. Is that what Russians want?

    Four years in, war in Ukraine grinds on. Is that what Russians want?
    Mar 10 2026
    Russian planners and Western intelligence predicted the invasion of Ukraine would be quick and decisive. Of course, Kyiv did not fall quickly - and still hasn’t.

    In the four years since Russia first invaded, the Kremlin’s so-called “special military operation” has evolved into the deadliest conflict on the European continent since World War II. According to Western governments and think tanks, more than 1.5 million people are dead.

    And throughout the war, one of the biggest questions has been, is this what Russian people want?

  • What's the war in Iran costing American consumers?

    What's the war in Iran costing American consumers?
    Mar 9 2026
    Americans are paying more for gas than they were a week ago.

    On Sunday, the price of oil hit $118 a barrel. It's since come down from those highs, but remains up sharply from the pre-war price of $70.

    The price is being pushed up by disruption to oil supply out of the Persian Gulf – The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, typically handles around 20 million barrels of oil a day – close to a fifth of global oil consumption.

    But the war has brought tanker traffic in the Strait to basically a standstill.

  • New front in Lebanon as Iran war reshapes Middle East

    New front in Lebanon as Iran war reshapes Middle East
    Mar 8 2026
    The repercussions of the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran continue to be felt across the Middle East. However, Lebanon has become the most active second front in the continued conflict between the US, Israel and Iran.


    Israel began its military assault on Lebanon after the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel as a show of solidarity with Iran.

    The U.S. and Israel's war in Iran is not just a regional crisis. It’s reshaping political dynamics across the Middle East, with global repercussions.

    Kim Ghattas, journalist and author of Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East, offers her view from inside Lebanon, and the changing dynamics across the region.
