Trump's Iran War: Strategic Confusion With No Way Out | Dr. Samir Puri What happens when the world's most powerful military goes to war with no clear objective and no exit strategy? Dr. Samir Puri — former UK diplomat, Chatham House director, and bestselling author of Westlessness — joins Maz fresh from the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi, where he sat in the room with Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister as the attacks began. In this episode, Samir breaks down why the US is playing both arsonist and firefighter in the Middle East — and why that contradiction may define America's strategic position for years to come. What we cover: Why Israel has a clear objective in this war, and the US has only confusion How Iran is winning the global sympathy battle despite being an odious regime The moment India quietly broke with Washington — and why Modi wasn't told about the attack How the Strait of Hormuz becomes a pressure point without Iran firing a single shot Why Europe is "moving like a snail while everyone else runs laps" China's calculated silence — and what they're actually gaining from this The "forever war" trap: why the US may be policing these waters indefinitely A standout line from Samir: "This is not just a live fire weapons display. What it will show is that the United States is liable to engage in military activities for misconstrued goals — and is not a stabilizing force." If you want analysis that goes beyond the headlines, this is the episode.

Lose yourself in the colors!"Hi: आरव ने पहले पहल थोड़ा झिझकते हुए रंग उठाया।En: Aarav hesitantly picked up the color at first.Hi: पर जैसे ही उसने प्रिया के चेहरे पर गुलाल लगाया, उसके दिल में एक अनोखी खुशी दौड़ गई।En: But as soon as he applied gulal on Priya's face, a unique joy rushed through his heart.Hi: प्रिया ने आरव को समझाया, "देखो, जीवन भी एक होली की तरह ही है। हर पल को खुलकर जीना चाहिए।"En: Priya explained to Aarav, "Look, life is just like Holi. Every moment should be lived openly."Hi: उनकी यह बात आरव के दिल में उतर गई।En: Her words touched Aarav's heart.Hi: रंगों के इस उत्सव में आरव ने कहीं न कहीं अपनी कला के लिए नई प्रेरणा पाई।En: In this festival of colors, Aarav found new inspiration for his art somewhere.Hi: प्रिया की ऊर्जा और जीवन के प्रति उसका नजरिया उसे भा गया।En: He was captivated by Priya's energy and her outlook on life.Hi: एक नए अहसास में बंधे, उन्होंने एक-दूसरे से फिर मिलने का वादा किया।En: Bound by a new feeling, they promised to meet again.Hi: होली के इस पर्व ने उन्हें सिर्फ रंगों से नहीं, बल्कि एक नई शुरुआत से जोड़ दिया था।En: This festival of Holi connected them not only with colors but with a new beginning.Hi: आरव की कला ने एक नया मोड़ लिया और प्रिया को ऐसे साथी का साथ मिला जो जीवन के हर रंग को उसके संग साझा करने वाला था।En: Aarav's art took a new turn, and Priya found a companion who would share every color of life with her.Hi: इस तरह, लोदी गार्डन के रंगमंच पर होली के रंगों में एक नई कहानी ने जन्म लिया।En: Thus, a new story was born amidst the colors at the stage of Lodi Garden on Holi.Hi: जीवन की सच्ची खूबसूरती शायद ऐसी ही होती है... सरल, सहज, और रंगीन।En: True beauty of life is perhaps just like this... simple, effortless, and colorful.

Yesterday, Reuters reported, Indian refiners have rushed to secure prompt cargoes of Russian crude as the war involving Iran disrupts supplies from the Middle East. The crisis has choked traffic through the Strait of Hormuz — a route that normally carries around 40% of India's oil imports — forcing companies to scramble for alternatives. The shift is striking. New Delhi had spent months cutting back Russian imports under U.S. pressure. But with India holding only about 25 days of crude reserves, the war has quickly exposed how thin that buffer really is. So how did India's energy strategy end up here, between Russian oil, U.S. pressure, and a war in Iran? Host Snigdha Sharma explains.Tune in.

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and a leading global philanthropist, withdrew from delivering his scheduled keynote address at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi just hours before he was set to speak. The Gates Foundation issued a statement saying the decision was made “to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit's key priorities,” and Ankur Vora, president of the foundation's Africa and India offices, delivered the address in his place. Gates had been initially confirmed and was in India ahead of the event, which was designed to position India as a hub for artificial intelligence development and governance.The sudden cancellation came amid heightened scrutiny over Gates's past interactions with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after recently released U.S. Justice Department documents included emails involving Gates Foundation staff and Epstein. Although Gates denies any impropriety and says he regretted associating with Epstein, the controversy drew significant attention in Indian media and public debate in the lead-up to the summit.

Gates had been initially confirmed and was in India ahead of the event, which was designed to position India as a hub for artificial intelligence development and governance.The sudden cancellation came amid heightened scrutiny over Gates's past interactions with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after recently released U.S. Justice Department documents included emails involving Gates Foundation staff and Epstein. Although Gates denies any impropriety and says he regretted associating with Epstein, the controversy drew significant attention in Indian media and public debate in the lead-up to the summit.

Over the past few years, South Asia has witnessed a striking wave of mass protests toppling governments and upending long-standing political arrangements in countries ranging from Bangladesh to Nepal and Sri Lanka. These upheavals are often explained in terms of domestic factors—such as corruption, economic mismanagement, and democratic backsliding. But in a recent Foreign Affairs essay titled “The Folly of India's Illiberal Hegemony,” the scholar Muhib Rahman argues that there is a larger regional story at play—one that implicates not just local leaders, but also India and the United States. The essay challenges the assumption that India's regional leadership has been a stabilizing force and asks whether New Delhi's choices have instead helped create openings for China across South Asia.To talk more about the essay, Muhib joins Milan on the show this week. Muhib is a Perry World House Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. His research sits at the intersection of international security, emerging technologies, and the politics of the Global South. He has served as a Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University and holds a Ph.D. in Government from the University of Texas-Austin.Muhib and Milan discuss India's illiberal hegemony in its neighborhood, the downturn in Bangladesh-India ties, and the enabling role of the United States. Plus, the two discuss the drivers of the “India Out” phenomenon in countries ranging from Nepal to the Maldives and how China is positioning itself to take advantage.Episode notes:1.     Muhib Rahman, “Bangladesh's Quiet Pivot to China,” The National Interest, October 27, 2025.2.     Muhib Rahman, “Explaining Trump's Surprising Turn to Pakistan,” War on the Rocks, October 1, 2025.3.     “Why Washington Is Wooing Pakistan (with Uzair Younus),” Grand Tamasha, October 1, 2025.4.     “Sri Lanka's Peaceful Revolution (with Neil DeVotta),” Grand Tamasha, January 29, 2025.

Bangladesh will hold a national election in February, after years of political turmoil and the ousting of long-time leader Sheikh Hasina. Her rule of more than a decade delivered strong economic growth but was also accompanied by tighter political control and repeated confrontations with protesters.Sheikh Hasina's party, the Awami League, has been banned. This has brought renewed focus on the Bangladesh Nationalist Party's leader Tarique Rahman, who is the son of former prime minister Khaleda Zia, as well as several emerging challengers.Following years of unrest, the vote is seen as a test of whether Bangladesh can move towards political stability.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking: What does the national election mean for the future of Bangladesh?Contributors Shaheen Mamun, Executive Director of the Jargoron Foundation, London, UKZia Chowdhury, journalist, Dhaka, Bangladesh Rounaq Jahan, Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue, Dhaka, Bangladesh Constantino Xavier, Senior Fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress, New Delhi, India Presenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Matt Toulson Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: Cameron Ward(Photo: A woman casting her ballot during the 2024 national election in Bangladesh.
