The wait is over for the IRties, September's Protisshor is now published. This edition takes you from Trump's sanctioned strikes on Doha and the unraveling promises of trillion-dollar deals, to shifting dunes in Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, and Ukraine. In this edition, you will find out how Pakistan and Saudi Arabia ink a new defense pact, how Saudi downs missiles aimed at holy land, and how global power plays tighten their stranglehold on embattled lands.
Meanwhile, the SCO Summit 2025 spotlighted China’s grand strategy and Russia–India calculus, as Afghanistan reels from quakes and new fronts of instability. On the economic side, U.S. tariffs rattle alliances, the Federal Reserve cuts rates, TikTok faces uncertain fate, and Hyundai’s new battery plan faces a chilling delay.
Tech, too, is geopolitics' captive: China bans Nvidia AI chips, betting on homegrown silicon in a gamble that could reshape the AI arms race.
At home, Indonesia reverts to military rule, Nepal suffers a coup, Sudan mourns El Fasher's inferno, and U.S. debates rage from Charlie Kirk's demise to Musk's fight against media laws.
With every headline, September 2025 serves to remind us: the balance of power is not just shifting—it is cracking.
