“How will we pay for it?” is the first question asked when people propose universal healthcare, affordable housing, debt-free education, or modern infrastructure but never for war! The Trillion-Dollar Opportunity Cost of the American Empire m.thewire.in/article/dipl...

My latest mainstream piece explores why diplomacy is no longer an alternative to war, but part of it as shown in the latest escalations in the US-Israel-Iran war.

Upon receiving my author hardcopy, I’m delighted to share our latest @oxfordunipress.bsky.social publication! Our chapter, co-authored with Professor @usempire.bsky.social has been published in 'Chatham House - The First Hundred Years', the new centenary volume on @chathamhouse.org

A new face, familiar expectations. Ali al-Zaidi enters office with momentum and public optimism, but Iraq’s biggest obstacle is not leadership; it’s a political system that has outlasted every would-be reformer. www.theamargi.com/posts/why-ho...

Delighted to share a new article for @thewirein.bsky.social 'Behind the Pageantry of the Trump–Xi Summit' - co-authored alongside the leading Prof @usempire.bsky.social and Ferran Pérez Mena. thewire.in/world/behind...

My latest article for @theamargi.bsky.social examines why hopes surrounding Iraq’s new prime minister may be misplaced - and why understanding the system matters more than understanding the man. www.theamargi.com/posts/why-ho... #Iraq #MiddleEast #Politics #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations

Our latest piece for @theamargi.bsky.social examines a question that would have seemed unthinkable just a decade ago: are we entering a genuinely post-American Middle East? www.theamargi.com/posts/post-a...

Our latest for @thewirein.bsky.social examines why Trump’s Beijing visit matters far beyond bilateral US-China relations - and what it reveals about the deeper crisis of the post-1945 global order - co-authored by the leading Prof @usempire.bsky.social thewire.in/world/trumps...

More than 15 years ago, I first read The Art of War and saw it mainly as a classic text on strategy and statecraft. Reading it again in the context of the Iran war felt completely different. www.theamargi.com/posts/sun-tz...

Britain and America's 'Special Relationship' Is a Myth Built on Power, Not Partnership Our latest for @thewirein.bsky.social alongside Prof @usempire.bsky.social thewire.in/world/britai...

Our latest piece: King Charles III’s address to the U.S. Congress was less about transformation/ more about performance - polished diplomacy that reinforces, rather than challenges, an unjust global status quo. For @thewirein.bsky.social with Prof @usempire.bsky.social thewire.in/world/king-c...

It "underpins an elite-centred economic order that is routinely framed as serving the national interest, but is experienced very differently across British society" @usempire.bsky.social & @bamonouri.bsky.social on the 'special relationship' as 'ideological narcotic' m.thewire.in/article/worl...

For decades, the US–UK “special relationship” has shaped global politics. But in today’s world, is it still mutual - or increasingly one-sided? Prof @usempire.bsky.social and I take a closer look for @thewirein.bsky.social @thewire.in 🔗 thewire.in/world/the-us...

King Charles III’s US visit celebrates 250 years of independence - but behind the pageantry lies strain. From Iran tensions to Keir Starmer vs Donald Trump, this is less partnership, more damage control - exposing a deeper UK–US imbalance...

"Liberal internationalists once wrapped primacy in multilateralism and human-rights talk; Trumpian nationalism discards the wrapping and celebrates dominance enforced by superior firepower" @bamonouri.bsky.social @usempire.bsky.social @thewire.in m.thewire.in/article/worl...

My latest for @uk.theconversation.com alongside Prof @usempire.bsky.social argues we’re entering an era of conflicts that can’t be won, only managed. Read here: theconversation.com/middle-east-... #Iran #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #War #ForeignPolicy

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

My latest piece for @theamargi.bsky.social explores the #TrumpEpstein files connection many have contemplated at the start of the war with Iran, where attention was consumed by the release of Epstein-related files and speculation around elite compromise.

My latest for @theamargi.bsky.social alongside Prof @usempire.bsky.social dropped yesterday: Why Israel Became Washington’s Closest Ally Debates about the US–Israel relationship often focus on lobbying power in Washington. But this misses the deeper reality.

March 16, 1988, Halabja. They rained chemicals on our people and thought it would erase us. But a nation that survives gas, bombs, and betrayal cannot be erased. Your oppressor will never be your saviour. And the Kurds will never die. #existenceisresistance. #Halabja #Kurdistan

Our latest article in @theamargi.bsky.social co-authored with @usempire.bsky.social : 'Israel as Proxy, Not Puppet Master: How US Imperial Logic Drives the Alliance - Not the Lobby' addresses the debate on whether US Middle East policy is lobby-driven, or a deep structural alliance.

My latest article in @theconversation.com , co-authored with Prof @usempire.bsky.social , “Middle East conflict shows the real meaning of Trump’s America First foreign policy,” examines what the latest escalation in the region reveals about the deeper logic of #DonaldTrump’s foreign policy.

Trump is the best example of what the American Empire is at its core.

theconversation.com/middle-east-... - The recent strikes are more than tactical decisions for Trump admin. They reveal how deeply embedded primacy politics remains in regardless of who is doing it. The rhetoric has shifted. The structural impulse to defend US dominance through force has not.

The #IEA’s 400m barrel release sounds huge until you add context. The world consumes ~100m barrels of oil per day, meaning this “historic” intervention equals about four days of global demand. A short-term shock absorber, not structural solution to an energy crisis triggered by war.

My latest alongside @usempire.bsky.social Marching Against the Machine: US Anti-War Protests Unmask Trumpism's Imperial Core and the Erosion of American Primacy

Latest piece in @thewire.in alongside the great @usempire.bsky.social : US-Israeli strikes on Iran didn’t just escalate a conflict - they exposed the bipartisan machinery of American primacy and the ease with which diplomacy is sidelined in favour of military spectacle.

My second piece in @the-independent.com My position is consistent: if diplomacy is available, war is a failure. We are living in an era where the war industry is not just powerful - it is profitable. Conflict generates contracts, headlines, and political theatre.

My latest piece has just been published in @theconversation.com: Iran has been attacked by US and Israel when peace was within reach.

I’m pleased to share my latest piece published in @theamargi.bsky.social entitled: “Rethinking Kurdish Foreign Policy Through the American Experience.”

Towards the end of last week got a lot of #Media calls & messages from senior editors and #journalists asking whether #Trump & the #US would attack #Iran if there were any disagreements on negotiations between the two countries during negotiations. My answer was NO on every call-here’s why:
