REBROADCAST FRANCE 24: (04/2026)
At the center of the conversation is the Strait of Hormuz — not only as a strategic chokepoint for global energy flows, but as a key element in Iran’s broader security doctrine and negotiating position.
The interview explores how Iranian decision-makers view pressure, escalation, and diplomacy; why Tehran prepares for talks with long-term strategic depth; and how military, economic, and geopolitical calculations shape its posture toward Washington. It also unpacks the wider implications of Hormuz for the global economy, regional balance, and the future of U.S.-Iran relations.
Turkish Nationalism and the Kurdish Settlement Process Launched in October 2024
October 6, 2026
The article examines why Turkey’s current Kurdish settlement process, launched in October 2024, has so far encountered relatively limited opposition from Turkish nationalist forces. It traces the evolution of Turkish nationalism, from the hardline positions of the 1990s to the more fragmented nationalist landscape of today, and explores the unexpected role played by MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli in initiating the process. The article argues that, while ultra-nationalist opposition remains present, Turkish nationalism is no longer a unified political force, creating space for a new approach to the Kurdish question.
