A multipolar world is taking shape, with global actors repositioning for influence in the new order.
The US and Israel are tightening their alliance amid tensions over Iran’s nuclear program. Trump has assured Netanyahu, calling him a “warrior PM,” and touting their “great relationship.” This signals increased coordination on regional issues.
Meanwhile, the US is also strengthening its ties with China, with Trump planning to visit both countries this year.
Iran continues to push the limits of its deal with the US, provoking Israel and testing the commitment of its partners. In response, Iran’s deputy FM has expressed readiness to move forward in negotiations.
Watch for:
- The Trump administration’s diplomatic strategy in the Middle East
- Iran’s next moves on its nuclear program or relations with European powers
- Developments in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
