3 Wars Reshaping 2026

This episode of the Geopolity examines the widening conflicts in the Middle East and South Asia: the stalemate between the U.S./Israel and Iran, rising Iranian influence and oil revenues, and the prospect of U.S. ground troops largely aimed at saving political face.

It also explores Israel’s campaign in Lebanon and Gaza, Hezbollah’s response, and how regional pressures — including the closure of the Straits of Hormuz — are raising global economic and strategic stakes.

Finally, the episode looks at renewed tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the implications for regional stability, and possible paths to negotiation or further escalation.
