The Axis of Resistance has entered a new phase, with the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb giving it influence over roughly 40% of global energy supplies. Despite 20,000 targets struck inside Iran, the US-Israeli goal of eliminating the Islamic Republic failed. The writer argues the Axis has moved from local confrontation to global influence—and can no longer be bypassed.

October 7, genocide and Yemen
The writer argues Al-Aqsa Flood shattered the Zionist narrative, returned Palestine to the global forefront, and drew the Axis of Resistance into battle. He notes Israel's losses since October 7 exceed all since 1948, and that no force has shown greater sacrifice than Hezbollah, Palestinian fighters, Yemen, and Iran. Now, as the US warns over Bab al-Mandab, a new front is opening in Yemen.

Mudbrick use dates to the 8th millennium BCE at Tepe Ganj Dareh. UNESCO cites Yazd as a living example of intelligent desert design. Today, centers like Esfahk are reviving these passive-cooling techniques for a sustainable future.
