About this episode
This episode discusses the shifting geopolitical landscape involving Iran, Europe, and the new space race.
The world is shifting — from the Straits of Hormuz to Brussels to orbit. In this episode of geopolitical horizons, we break down three stories impacting global geopolitics: Rising tensions in the Middle East and the future of the US–Israel alliance The political shockwaves of Viktor Orbán’s defeat and what it means for European populism The return of great power competition — this time in space.

Featuring sharp analysis, grounded insights, and big-picture thinking — this is geopolitics beyond the headlines.
