The Gulf states face an equally complicated equation. - Pakistan Today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The larger the scale, the greater the difficulty of maintaining precision. Physics may not be a textbook for geopolitics, but its logic can sometimes offer an interesting metaphor: when pressure expands without producing the intended result, the question is whether the pressure itself has become the strategy. The USA has moved from maritime pressure towards aviation isolation against Iran. But if the strategy remains the same, how can Washington expect a different strategic result? In early Sept

Read excerpt
US threats over the Strait of Hormuz could escalate a maritime crisis with global currency effects. Analysts say transit arrangements and mediation, possibly with Pakistan, could protect trade and prevent wider war.
