America and its allies' increased military action against the Houthis has so far failed to deter the Yemeni group from attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea. Amid the escalating tension, Houthis have specifically named Russia and China while saying vessels not linked to Israel, USA, and UK are safe. While the tension is driving up oil prices, is India insulated because of its increased purchases from Russia? And can Delhi use this equation for protecting its own ships in the region? Read more

Houthi action in the Red Sea has brought the civil war in Yemen back to the forefront of geopolitical discussions. Even as the U.S. struggles to deter the Houthis from targeting commercial ships and holding world trade at ransom, a new investigative report has claimed that one of America's key allies in the region is actually making the Houthis' control in Yemen stronger. Watch the full video for more. Read more

During the term of the last Maldives President, Ibrahim Solih, the Indian administration of Narendra Modi extended a huge tranche of financial assistance to the Indian Ocean archipelago as it was struggling with a massive Chinese debt problem. Five years later, Solih has been replaced by Mohamed Muizzu, who appears intent on alienating Delhi, and appeasing Beijing, with no regard for his country's recent history. The ongoing controversy, sparked by racist comments against Indians and objectionable language for the Indian PM, is marring a relationship which is marked by many highs and few lows. So what comes next? Is Muizzu taking the Maldives in the direction of Sri Lanka and Pakistan - the other neighbours of India which trusted China and came to regret it? Read more

The killing of senior Hamas leader Saleh Al Arouri has put Israel's secret assassination strategy back in the spotlight. While the Israel government has not confirmed its role in Arouri's killing, many are taking it for granted, given declarations by top leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that Israel would kill Hamas leaders wherever they are. However, the Arouri operation has also renewed the debate about the efficacy of assassinations by Israel's spy agency Mossad. Its past targets have included the founders of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. However, these groups didn't just survive the assassinations, but managed to grow stronger and then carry out the October 7 attack. Mossad also has had a string of embarrassing failures, including being forced to save top Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal whom they had poisoned, and also killing an innocent civilian after mistaking him for a Palestinian leader.

Days after the Israel-Hamas war virtually reached India's shores in the form of a commercial ship being attacked with a drone near Gujarat, Hindustan Times has accessed inside information of what the investigation so far has revealed. The Indian Navy and Coast Guard, which responded to MV Chem Pluto's distress call on December 21, recovered evidence in the form of what appear to be wings of a drone, burnt to a crisp in the attack. Sources have revealed that the wings are likely to belong to a Shahed 136, a loitering munition or suicide drone, which is made by Iran. This appears to prove right what the US military had said a day after the incident. Read more

For weeks, Houthi attacks on commercial ships have caused mayhem on international trade. The attacks are in support of Gaza, according to the Yemeni group, but the fallout is being felt across the world. Now, it has emerged that an Israeli logistics company has struck deals with firms in multiple Arab countries to set up a land route which would help transporters avoid the Red Sea route. These same Arab countries have been severely critical of Israel's actions in Gaza. But their rivalry with Iran, the backer of Hamas and Houthis both, appears to be winning over their solidarity with the Palestinians. This is also a positive development for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor which is being pushed heavily by the Narendra Modi government. Read more

A viral video of a speech by most-wanted Yahya Sinwar has sparked speculation that a television series shot in Gaza, and aired on Hamas' channel, was either the inspiration behind the Palestinian group's October 7 attack on Israel, or was a not-so-subtle hint of its sinister plans. During Ramzan of 2022, a show titled 'Fist Of The Free' was aired on Hamas' Al Aqsa television channel. Palestinians are now drawing parallels between the show - called an imitation of 'Fauda' - and the events which unfolded on October 7. Read more

Even after two months of intense war, the worst is not yet over, with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu government warning that the fighting with Hamas could last for "several" more months. But it is not clear whether the Israeli economy would be able to handle such a long conflict, even as the Israeli military continues to march on, mainly with assistance from the United States of America. In the latest sign of economic distress, Israel's main airport - Ben Gurion International - reportedly sent hundreds of workers on unpaid leave. This comes just days after data revealed that Israel's economy was already slowing down before receiving a body blow in the form of the Gaza conflict. Does this mean that PM Netanyahu, whose 'Mr Security' image has already taken a beating because of Hamas' October 7 attack, will lose the 'Mr Economy' tag too? Read more

It has been two months since the Israel-Hamas war started, and a week since the fragile ceasefire ended in Gaza. Abu Obaida, the spokesperson of Hamas' military wing Al Qassam Brigades, on December 7 claimed that the group had destroyed more than 130 military vehicles of Israel over a period of 72 hours. Over the same duration of time, Israel admits to have lost at least 12 soldiers. This comes as Israel Defense Forces are turning their focus from northern Gaza to the south of the Strip. But this does not mean that the war is half-done. Listen to the full epiosode on why, and what comes next. Read more
