The Bab el-Mandeb strait seen from orbit, the Red Sea chokepoint between Africa and Arabia
MIDDLE EAST ⟶ HORN OF AFRICA
The war is over Hormuz — the contest is moving to the Red Sea
A second chokepoint tenses → Trade reroutes, import costs climb → Outside powers court the coastline → a food bill set by a war two seas away
PROTOTYPE
The floating LNG import terminal Höegh Esperanza moored at Wilhelmshaven on the German North Sea coast
EUROPE ⟶ RUSSIA
Europe cut the gas off itself — and the shock came from Iran
EU bans Russian gas → US LNG replaces it → Storage at a 9-year low → Exposure moves to global shocks → your bills now swing with the Middle East, not Moscow
SOURCED
The high double border fence and a guard post at Melilla, the EU’s land frontier with Morocco
RUSSIA ⟶ EUROPE
Europe's migration politics hardened while the numbers fell
Russia displaces 4.4m people → Europe opens a separate legal channel → Asylum claims fall to a 4-year low → The rules harden anyway → the politics were never about the numbers
SOURCED
The 2014 ceremony connecting the first section of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline carrying Russian gas to China
US & EU SANCTIONS ⟶ RUSSIA–CHINA TRADE
Russia ships more to China than ever — and earns less
Sanctions close Western markets → Russia pivots to China → Volumes hit records → The value falls anyway → the escape route works — and it pays less
SOURCED
Burnt-out cars in front of a Kyiv apartment block, its lower storeys blackened by fire after a night-time drone attack
RUSSIA ⟶ UKRAINE
The front slowed sixteenfold — and the killing rose anyway
Russia's advance slows sixteenfold → The long-range campaign scales instead → Civilian casualties rise 37% → The front line stops describing the war → a stalemate on the map is not a stalemate for civilians
SOURCED
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman under way on station in the Persian Gulf
UNITED STATES ⟶ IRAN
The nuclear program is gone — the US–Iran war isn't
Strikes hit the nuclear sites → Enrichment capacity is destroyed → The June ceasefire collapses → The bombing resumes anyway → a war with no stated objective left to win — and 440kg of uranium nobody can find
SOURCED
The Essar (Vadinar) oil refinery on the coast of Gujarat, India
EUROPE ⟶ INDIA
The sanction didn't leak through India — it was already closing
Since 2022 India bought discounted Russian crude, refined it, and sold the products on — the leak in the sanctions regime everyone could see → Fresh EU restrictions on products refined from Russian crude gave India's export refineries a reason to source elsewhere → Indian imports of Russian crude fell to 1.1 mb/d in January 2026 — the lowest since November 2022 → Britain's trade deal then took effect on 15 July 2026, granting 99% of Indian exports duty-free access → The deal did not arrive into a fracturing coalition. It arrived into a market where the Russian-crude arbitrage was already contracting — which changes what the FTA is worth, and to whom.
SOURCED
A polished silicon wafer patterned with integrated-circuit dies, catching rainbow diffraction
CHINA ⟶ EUROPE
Europe calls it sovereignty — its own numbers say it doubles the price
Cheap imports flood in → Brussels raises walls → Inputs cost more → Your solar panel costs more → a slower, pricier energy transition
SOURCED
A laden crude-oil tanker under way at sea
IRAN ⟶ GLOBAL ENERGY MARKETS
Hormuz closed — and oil went back to $77 anyway
Tankers stop → Oil reroutes → Reserves drain → Someone else buys less → your pump price — barely
