How the war on Iran changed the Gulf security order
The war on Iran may be over, but its consequences are only beginning to reshape the Persian Gulf. For decades, Gulf monarchies have balanced security partnerships with the United States, pragmatic engagement with Iran, and ambitious plans to transform themselves into global economic hubs. The conflict has put that strategy to its biggest test yet. In this episode of Global Faultlines, we examine how the war has changed the Gulf security order. From the GCC's historical ties with Iran and the impact of the conflict on Gulf states to the future of the U.S. security architecture and the region's evolving strategic partnerships, we explore what comes next for one of the world's most consequential geopolitical theatres. Has the war fundamentally altered the Gulf's approach to Iran? Is the U.S.-led security architecture entering a new phase? And what does the post-war security order in the Persian Gulf look like?

Did India read the war on Iran wrong?
Since October 7, West Asia has witnessed a cascade of crises, from the war in Gaza, attacks on Red Sea shipping, to the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, and direct military confrontation between Israel and Iran. Together, these events have reshaped the region's geopolitical landscape. For India, the stakes are particularly high. New Delhi has spent years cultivating close ties with Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf states while pursuing a policy of strategic autonomy and multi-alignment. But as rivalries sharpen and instability becomes more persistent, can India continue to balance relationships with competing powers? Or does this new regional reality demand a rethink of its long-term strategy? In this episode of Global Faultlines, we examine how West Asia has changed since October 7, what those changes mean for India's foreign policy, and where New Delhi fits into the region's evolving balance of power.

Iran, Israel and the U.S.: How the war changed West Asia
The Iran-Israel-U.S. war may have ended with a ceasefire, but many of the questions that drove the conflict remain unresolved. After months of direct confrontation involving Iran, Israel and the United States, the region is taking stock of a war that raised fears of a wider regional conflict, disrupted global energy markets and brought renewed attention to Iran's nuclear programme. What did the war actually achieve? Did military action weaken Iran's nuclear ambitions or make the issue more difficult to resolve? Why is the Trump administration pursuing diplomacy with Tehran after abandoning the 2015 nuclear deal? And how has the conflict reshaped the balance of power in West Asia? In this episode of Global Faultlines, we speak about the consequences of the Iran-Israel war, the future of the U.S.-Iran relations, the state of Iran's nuclear programme, and what the ceasefire means for the future of the region.
