In Hindustan Times today I look into the impact of the 14-point US - Iran agreement after three months of war and the why for Tehran after suffering immense losses this arrangement gives a pedestal of relative strength to stand on. The winner at the end of the day was geography. https://t.co/d8bZ2l88cB

My latest piece for the ORF (@orfonline) highlights some key lessons India can draw from South Korea's shipbuilding development case study as it moves forward. It also emphasises areas to focus on for the industry's future growth.

The biggest impact of the #MiddleEast crisis on #Maldives is not economic, but diplomatic.
As the war exposes growing fractures within the Arab world, Malé will need to navigate an increasingly fragmented landscape of partners, donors, and political alignments.

Whither the Indo-Pacific?

[U.S. Pacific Command @USPACOM]

Department of War Restores U.S. Pacific Command Designation.

CAMP H.M. SMITH, Hawaii — The Department of War announced today that the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) will officially restore its name to the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM).

Originally established on January 1, 1947, by President Harry S. Truman, the command operated under the USPACOM banner for over 70 years, standing as the oldest and largest of the United States' unified combatant commands.

Restoring the legacy USPACOM designation honors the command’s deep historical roots, fostering a sense of pride and collective spirit among all who serve in the Pacific. From its critical role in establishing the post-WWII regional security architecture to its coordination of joint forces during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and countless humanitarian operations, the USPACOM namesake carries decades of military heritage and enduring regional partnerships.

USPACOM’s vast area of responsibility—spanning from the waters off the West Coast of the United States to the western border of India—remains exactly the same. The command's fundamental mission and its unwavering commitment to maintaining a free and open theater alongside regional allies and partners are unchanged.

In J&K, narcotics are not only a public health challenge but also a national security concern. Drug proceeds have long funded cross-border terrorism, making the fight against addiction inseparable from efforts to disrupt the terror ecosystem: @wani_ayjaz https://t.co/i3EJrzaHpF #JammuAndKashmir #Narcotics #Terrorism #Security

Japan has the industrial capacity to coproduce uncrewed systems at scale. Whether Washington and Tokyo can clear the politics to use it remains to be seen. https://t.co/gnF9wwiVZW

My latest for @DeccanHerald contends that U.S. retrenchment has prompted Japan, India, and Australia to take on a larger leadership role in the Indo-Pacific, demonstrating the resilience of the Quad's underlying principles.

[Naval News @navalnewscom]

Today, @Saronic and @Castelion announced plans to join forces to launch a hypersonic vehicle from an unmanned surface vessel. By integrating Castelion’s Blackbeard with Saronic’s Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) Marauder, the two companies offer a powerful, credible option to deter would-be adversaries
