The Mecca alliance meets the Red Sea – Saudi Arabia’s new defense pact faces its first major test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan agreed to a mutual defense pact in August, it was principally seen as a political commitment. The “Mecca alliance,” as it was dubbed, stipulated that an armed attack on one would be treated as an attack on all three, accompanied by deeper military cooperation. That pact is no longer simply a promise on paper. Within weeks, the three governments began building out the institutions and military mechanisms needed to give that commitment practical meaning.

Hormuz crisis has forced Japan into rethinking – and domesticating – its energy security needs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Japan’s Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu phoned his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, on Sept. 8, 2026, to express concern over the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trips to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Syria all figure on his itinerary, too. The U.S. visit was the first â and arguably most important â stop on a broader effort to give domestic l
The ‘navalization’ of economic warfare sees trade routes become zones of force rather than rules (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With more than 80% of global trade by volume being transported by sea, maritime shipping lanes are indispensable to the world economy. That fact was starkly illustrated by the war in Iran, which saw Tehran effectively close the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic and Washington respond with a blockade of Iranian ports. Yet such recent events are an aberration from much of the post-Cold War period, during which economic sanctions were enforced far from the sea. Governments relied on financial
