| Managed Pluralism: Tokayev’s Constitutional Gamble in Kazakhstan | | |
Asad Mirza

While framed by the administration as a modernisation step to streamline governance and enhance representation, the restructuring reinforces the central authority of the presidency.

Asad Mirza
Trump declared the Strait of Hormuz "New US Territory" via an AI-generated map, insisting it's open and mine-free. Iran mocked the claim, comparing it to annexing California, and vowed the strait stays shut until Washington lifts its blockade and sanctions. Behind the bravado: a 33% approval rating and a global oil market on edge.
