Armenia is entering its parliamentary elections amid one of the sharpest ruptures with Russia in its modern history. Moscow is using markets, gas and political pressure. Nikol Pashinyan is trying to sell voters a different future. The real question is not whether Armenia chooses Europe or Russia, but how much it is willing to pay for leaving Moscow’s orbit.

The Strait of Hormuz has once again become the place where global politics stops being theoretical.
This is not only about Washington...
Political analyst Rizvan Huseynov says Washington is not seeking to conquer Iran or become trapped in another prolonged regional conflict. In his view, the real strategic issue is control over the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for oil and gas flows toward China and the Asia-Pacific.
U.S.-Iran talks have not fully collapsed, but they have not produced a settlement either. A fragile ceasefire remains under pressure, the Strait of Hormuz is still the central flashpoint, and both sides are using diplomacy and military leverage at the same time.
