Between mixed signals from Washington and Tehran’s intransigence, the risk of further escalation is growing, placing #energy infrastructure at the front line of the conflict. What drives the strategic calculus of the #US, #Israel and #Iran at this stage of the war? #MEDThisWeek → ispionline.it/en/publication…

As #Israel expands its ground operations across the border and the prospect of a full-scale invasion looms, #Lebanon's fragile institutions and communities are bearing an increasingly heavy toll. What does the continued escalation mean for the country? #MEDThisWeek → ispionline.it/en/publication…

The reckless campaign against Iran will weaken America’s president. That will make him angry. Be warned: he makes a very bad loser econ.st/4lA7lEQ

The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (#IMEC) offers a strategic opportunity to reshape global trade and digital connectivity, positioning #Italy as a key Mediterranean hub.

L’#Iran rischia di essere un pantano? 🗣️Ne parliamo con @gasgas19, insegna Storia bizantina e Storia militare antica presso l'Università di Pavia e @TalbotValeria, responsabile programma Medio Oriente di @ispionline SEGUI LA DIRETTA▶️radio24.ilsole24ore.com

Ieri a Palazzo Clerici abbiamo discusso dei possibili sviluppi della guerra in #MedioOriente e delle sue conseguenze geopolitiche ed economiche. Il confronto ha esplorato l’escalation tra #Israele, #StatiUniti e #Iran, le nuove dinamiche della guerra asimmetrica – come l’uso di droni a basso costo – e le ripercussioni della crisi sulle rotte energetiche globali, a partire dallo Stretto di #Hormuz. È emerso come gli shock geopolitici possano generare forte volatilità nel breve periodo, mentre i mercati hanno storicamente mostrato una significativa capacità di adattamento. L’incontro ha infine affrontato anche le ricadute umanitarie della crisi, con particolare attenzione alla situazione in #Libano. Ringraziamo i relatori – Paolo Capitini, Paolo Magri, Donatella Principe, Davide Tabarelli, @TalbotValeria – per le analisi e le prospettive condivise. È possibile rivedere l’incontro qui: youtube.com/live/H_RY8kIxx…

Domani a #Start saremo con @LucioMalan, @BaldinoVittoria, @arturo_varvelli, @TalbotValeria, @GonzatoA e @antonellocapor2. Come sempre dalle 9:30 su @SkyTG24. Vi aspetto!
