Sur la géopolitique de l’Iran

Une introduction au pays que Donald Trump s’apprête, paraît-il, à bombarder, et aux conséquences que cela peut entraîner, s’il ne s’agit pas seulement d’une menace proférée par un homme puissant.

Palestinians say that if anyone is stealing the humanitarian aid and food in Gaza, it is Hamas. This criminality is precisely why the international community needs to back Israel’s effort to prevent Hamas from monopolizing and embezzling humanitarian supplies sent into the Gaza Strip.

“Either you get rid of your weapons of mass destruction or [the US] will personally destroy them and destroy everything with no discussion.”
Strong words from the US president, directing a clear message to a strategic threat in the Middle East that the advancement of its nuclear program would evoke severe repercussions.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the five Central Asian republics have been performing a very complex balancing act. In some cases, this dynamic has forced them to make difficult decisions from a geopolitical point of view. This is the case with what has happened in recent weeks regarding diplomatic recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, a member of the European Union since 2004.
Par des alliances idéologiques, religieuses et stratégiques, l’Iran a développé un réseau de soutien à divers groupes armés en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient pour contrer les Etats Unis et les pays de l’Occident.
On 18 April, the Pentagon confirmed a significant reduction in US troop levels in Syria, marking a new phase in America’s military involvement in the country.
This move follows a brief surge in deployments during 2024 when the number of US personnel in Syria rose to 2,000 after roughly 900 in 2019. Now it’s being reduced back down to what Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell described as a “conditions-based” presence of fewer than 1,000 troops.
“We are committed to distancing Iraq from regional wars,” Hussein said. “Baghdad does not desire escalation in the region.”
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein warned that the threat posed by ISIS has resurfaced, cautioning that the extremist group is actively regrouping and planning attacks. His remarks came in a special interview with Sky News Arabia, where he emphasized Iraq’s firm rejection of regional conflict and its ongoing coordination with international partners to preserve peace and stability.
Conquérir un territoire, c’est avant tout soumettre sa population. Il faut bien distinguer cette notion de celle d’«occupation», un terme juridique spécifique qui régit les relations entre une «puissance occupante» étrangère et la nation occupée en vertu du droit international, en particulier la quatrième Convention de Genève.
The debate on migration has calmed down a bit in the news media. However, this does not mean that the issue has been ‘solved’. Quite the opposite.
In most discussions about migration, we tend to start with numbers. Understanding the scale changes, emerging trends and demographic shifts associated with global social and economic transformations, such as migration, helps us understand the changing world we live in and plan for the future. According to a global estimate by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) there were approximately 281 million international migrants in the world in 2020, representing 3.6 percent of the world’s population. The estimated number of international migrants has increased significantly over the past five decades, from 128 million in 1970 to 153 million in 1990. The latest figures for 2024 indicate 303,936,274 migrants.
