Iranian official warns Hormuz will stay closed until US leaves and Tehran dictates the war's end

Former IRGC commander Mohsen Rezaei, now a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council, warned the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen unless the United States withdraws from the Persian Gulf, arguing that regional security should be managed by Gulf states. He said Tehran would only end the war after full compensation for Iran’s damages and a 100% guarantee against future threats, contingent on the US withdrawal, and he claimed Iran is winning while warning Washington’s capabilities are exhausted.

Al-Hol closure: Syria relocates IDPs as ISIS-linked risk grows amid regional shifts

Syria plans to shutter the Al-Hol IDP camp and relocate its remaining residents to Akhtarin and other sites in Aleppo, with thousands of escapees and ISIS-linked families raising concerns about recruitment and reintegration. The move follows a collapse of security after the SDF withdrawal and a shift of counter-ISIS duties to the Syrian government, even as the US signals ongoing withdrawal. Concurrently, Iran-US nuclear negotiations continue with mixed signals on enrichment, amid internal power realignments and a crackdown on protesters, highlighting a volatile regional backdrop that could influence talks and security dynamics in the Middle East.

Syrian Army Seizes Al-Shaddadi Base as US Withdraws Under Ceasefire

The Syrian Arab Army has taken over the al-Shaddadi military base in Hasakah province after U.S. troops withdrew, a development coordinated with the United States under a ceasefire with the Kurdish-led SDF. The move follows Washington’s broader pullback in Syria, including the earlier seizure of al-Tanf, and signals a shift toward closer coordination with the Damascus government, even as the U.S. continues ISIS-targeted air strikes via CENTCOM and aims to stabilize regional agreements with other communities.

US Exits Paris Agreement Again, Reshaping Global Climate Leadership

The United States formally withdraws from the Paris climate agreement for a second time, signaling a renewed break with international climate governance. While global emissions trends grow faster toward renewables, the move risks complicating global decarbonization efforts, potentially emboldening fossil-fuel interests and shifting leadership toward countries like China as others push forward on clean-energy expansion.

Taliban Rejects U.S. Efforts to Reclaim Bagram Airbase

A Taliban official dismissed President Trump's suggestion that the US could retake Bagram Airbase, emphasizing that the base's military presence was rejected during negotiations before Taliban's return to power. Trump cited strategic reasons related to China for wanting to regain control, but there is no evidence supporting China's presence at the base. The Taliban reaffirmed their stance against foreign military presence in Afghanistan.

Global Climate Leadership Shifts as US Retreats

Despite the US repeatedly withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement under President Trump, other countries like China, the EU, and the UK are stepping up to fill the leadership void, with China emerging as a key player in global climate efforts through investments in renewable energy and strategic initiatives, while the Paris Agreement remains resilient due to its flexible, nonbinding structure.

US Announces Withdrawal from UNESCO Amid Cultural Disputes

The United States announced it will withdraw from UNESCO by the end of 2026, citing concerns over bias and ideological conflicts, marking a return to previous disengagements and reflecting broader US skepticism towards multilateral organizations. The move follows a history of US withdrawals and re-engagements with UNESCO, and is driven by political disagreements, especially regarding Israel and Palestine, as well as ideological differences. Despite the withdrawal, UNESCO states the financial impact will be minimal as US contributions account for only 8% of its budget.

Trump's Renewed Climate Policy Challenges: A New Era of Withdrawal

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement for a second time, potentially moving faster than before. This decision could undermine global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as the U.S. is a major polluter. Trump's stance on climate change, which he has called a "hoax," contrasts sharply with the commitments made under the agreement. The U.S. withdrawal could also allow China to gain a competitive edge in green technologies and influence global climate policy discussions.
