Iran-US Deal: Hormuz Reopens, But Will It Hold? | Irina Tsukerman | Global Politics for Leaders 70

In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman, the bi-weekly geopolitical series on The KAJ Masterclass LIVE, host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) examines the landmark Iran-US peace agreement and its uncertain path forward with Irina Tsukerman, a US-based national security and human rights lawyer, renowned geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider. Together, they explore what the deal really means—from Friday's scheduled signing in Geneva and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, to the vague text, back-channel commitments, Israeli objections, and the diplomatic fallout from the US strike that killed three Indian seafarers.

Iran's Ceasefire Illusion, India's Geopolitical Rise, and the Gaza Peace Fund Nobody Funded | Irina Tsukerman | Global Politics for Leaders

Is the US-Iran ceasefire real — or a convenient fiction? In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman — the bi-weekly geopolitical series on KAJ Masterclass LIVE — host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) sits down with Irina Tsukerman, US-based national security and human rights lawyer, geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider, to dissect a Middle East in controlled chaos: why Trump keeps treating a violated ceasefire as intact, what Iran is actually waiting out, and how the Strait of Hormuz blockade is quietly strangling economies from Kuwait to India.The conversation expands outward — Venezuela's interim leader visiting New Delhi, Marco Rubio's maintenance diplomacy in India, China's conspicuous absence from the Shangri-La Dialogue, and Japan's quiet transformation into a serious regional security actor. Each thread connects: energy dependence, supply chain fragility, and the realignment of middle powers in an era of great-power competition.The episode closes on Gaza's Board of Peace — $17 billion pledged, zero transferred, and a reconstruction mandate with no money behind it.Support independent journalism: https://kajmasterclass.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjc0c1ZYR0kwV0xkcmhsUXMtTmtaMkVCdUx1UXxBQ3Jtc0tsclB5cVpaTDhVdUN3REd1bncyYzlnd3NScHA1Zy1PcjRtaG5DMG9XOThza0RfNWVsd3IwZVNzQU44Wm1ubkFIaFc5NDljTGFiQXNtcGlDU2xkNHltZl9WYnFQalFGUE9FZGJaSlI1a0N4eXEtVVdxMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fkajmasterclass.com%2F&v=qcNFh_XnaxE] Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kaj-politics-live--7116411/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kaj-politics-live--7116411/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].
