A power shift is unfolding in the Middle East, with implications for global energy markets and geopolitics. Trump’s sudden cancellation of strikes against Iran, citing a breakthrough in talks to end the war, signals a significant realignment in US-Iran relations.

Israel has responded positively to this development, with Trump declaring progress with Iran. This appears to be a coordinated effort by US and Israeli leaders to create space for diplomatic engagement on the Iran issue.

Meanwhile, Russia’s deputy PM is calling for fuel market forecasts to prevent shortages, while Russian stocks are experiencing volatility. North Korea’s Kim has expressed full support for Russia, sending a national day message to Putin.

The dynamics between major powers are evolving rapidly, with competing interests and agendas emerging. The dollar-based order is under stress, and the global energy landscape is being reshaped by new nuclear power plants and decentralized generation methods.

Watch for:

  • Further developments in US-Iran talks, including potential agreements or timelines for a settlement.
  • Russian attempts to strengthen its energy market influence, possibly through fuel price manipulation or supply diversification.
  • Increased tensions between Israel and Palestinian factions, potentially sparked by Trump’s recent criticism of Israel at a film festival.
