In this week's What We're Watching, our analysts examine three stories that reveal the growing strains in the international system. First, reports suggest the Pentagon has raised concerns about Israeli espionage efforts directed at American negotiators involved in talks with Iran. While allies routinely gather intelligence on one another, some U.S. officials believe recent Israeli activities have crossed a line, highlighting growing tensions within one of Washington's most important strategic relationships. Next, we look at the war in Ukraine, which has now lasted longer than the First World War. More than four years after Russia's invasion, the conflict remains locked in a costly stalemate. We assess how Russia adapted its economy and military, Ukraine's dependence on Western support, and what the war's longevity tells us about the future of the conflict. Finally, we turn to Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where deadly protests have erupted following a government crackdown, internet shutdowns, mass arrests and a dispute over reserved legislative seats. We explore the political status of the territory, the roots of the unrest, and why the protests could have wider implications for the region. Join us as we break down the geopolitics behind the headlines. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:10 Pentagon Raises Spying Threat Level from Israel 1:31 Ukraine's War Is Now Longer Than World War One 2:43 Deadly Protests in Pakistan-Administered Kashmir If you like this podcast and want to learn more about the issues raised, please check out website http://www.thegeopolity.com

The Islamic year begins with Hijrah, but do we understand why the Sahabah chose it as the starting point? This was not just a migration, nor a spiritual memory to revisit once a year. It marked a shift from weakness to authority, from scattered suffering to a mission of justice for mankind. In an age of massacres, silence, and political paralysis, this talk confronts the Ummah with the meaning of responsibility of all Muslims before it is too late.
Hijrah-Celebrating What We Abandoned What does Hijrah really mean — a date to celebrate, or a warning we forgot? This talk challenges the comfort of empty remembrance and forces the Ummah to confront the power, dignity, and responsibility buried inside that historic turning point. How do we take up the responsibility?
Israel’s Plan to Control the Water
A rift is emerging between the US and Europe over competing visions of the future direction of AI. The future of global AI standards depends on whether Europe and the US can achieve pragmatic alignment or if the digital landscape will succumb to jurisdictional fragmentation.

Iran fired on Israel for the first time since April. America told both sides to stop. Israel ignored them. And Iran is walking away from this looking stronger than when it started. In this podcast I break down the real objectives of each side, why America is desperate for an off-ramp it can’t reach, and why Iran is no longer just fighting to survive.
