The Retreating Hegemon: How U.S. Interventionism in Yemen and Iran Reveals the Limits of Imperial Power

U.S. military interventions in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz have repeatedly started with maximalist objectives but ended with minimal, face-saving agreements that actually consolidate the power of the targeted non-Western actors. This recurring failure exposes the hollowness of American power and its damaging pattern of creating instability to justify military action, only to abandon regional partners and embolden the very forces it claims to oppose, leaving populations to suffer under even more brutal repression.

The Lethal Blind Spot: Why Bab-el-Mandeb, Not Hormuz, is the Epicenter of the Next Global Shock

Houthi missile strikes that killed six on an Egyptian cargo ship in the Bab-el-Mandeb strait signal an active and lethal blockade, making it the next major global energy shock point while the world remains fixated on the already-closed Strait of Hormuz.
