Manga Prophecy or Science? Is Japan Ready for the World’s Heaviest Tremor?

Japan, a nation synonymous with seismic activity, sits precariously on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” where tectonic plates converge to produce some of the world’s most powerful earthquakes. The specter of a “megaquake” along the Nankai Trough—a submarine fault stretching 900 kilometers along Japan’s Pacific coast—looms large, with experts estimating an 80% chance of a magnitude 8–9 quake within the next 30 years.

Shutting Out the IAEA: Is a Bomb the Only Option Left for Iran?

Iran’s nuclear program has long been a flashpoint in global geopolitics, but recent developments have escalated tensions to a fever pitch. With the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reporting in May 2025 that Iran possesses enough uranium enriched to 60% purity to potentially produce nine nuclear bombs, the world is grappling with the question: Is Iran cornered into pursuing nuclear weapons as its only path to security?

From Strike to Setback: Israel’s Failed Attack Reshapes the Middle East

In June 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a bold but poorly calculated assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities and military leadership, aiming to cripple its nuclear ambitions and destabilize the regime. The operation, however, has backfired spectacularly, setting Israel’s strategic goals back by a decade, boosting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s domestic popularity, and reshaping Middle Eastern geopolitics.

Trump’s NATO Ultimatum: Pay Up or Face U.S. Withdrawal

Fragile Ceasefire Calms Nerves—For Now, But Strategic Patience is Key

In the early hours after a fragile ceasefire was brokered in the region, global markets exhaled quietly, cautiously. The heavy breath of geopolitical tension, for days held tight in investors’ lungs, loosened just enough to allow the dollar to slide, oil to retrace gains, and equity markets to flash a cautious green. But beneath this outward calm lies a deep, unresolved pulse of volatility.

Fact-Check : “Germany Just Discovered the Joys of Illegal War”

The article titled “Moscow, beware: Germany just discovered the joys of illegal war” published by RT on June 24, 2025, claims that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has endorsed Israel’s military actions against Iran, labeling them as a criminal act of aggression.
