Iran’s widening war has now reached the institutional space linking Turkey, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia. Turkey said on March 4 that NATO air defenses destroyed an Iranian ballistic missile entering Turkish airspace, while Azerbaijan said the next day that four Iranian drones crossed into Nakhchivan, injuring four people, and damaging civilian infrastructure at the exclave’s airport.

Την ώρα που φλέγεται η Μέση Ανατολή και πολιορκείται το Ιράν, είναι εντυπωσιακή η προσεκτική στάση της Κίνας, σημαντικού εταίρου της Τεχεράνης. Ενώ το Πεκίνο κατακεραυνώνει την στρατιωτική επιχείρηση των ΗΠΑ και του Ισραήλ, αποφεύγει να στηρίξει το Ιράν εμπράκτως, παρά την στενή εταιρική σχέση μαζί του. Υπενθυμίζεται ότι, με την υποστήριξη της Κίνας και της Ρωσίας, το Ιράν κατέστη πλήρες μέλος του Οργανισμού Συνεργασίας της Σαγκάης το 2023 και της ομάδας BRICS ένα χρόνο αργότερα.

China's composure and adherence to principles in handling China-US relations reflect its determination and confidence to bringing stabilities and certainties to a turbulent world.
The global solar power boom, largely fueled by China's dominant manufacturing, is set to create a staggering 88 million tons of solar waste by 2050. Recycling solar panels remains costly and complex, with the current process costing about ten times more ($20–$30 per panel) than sending them to a landfill ($1–$2 per panel). China has set a lofty goal to recycle 250,000 tons of solar panels by 2027 and 1.5 million tons by 2030, which, if successful, will serve as a crucial mass-scale pilot project for the rest of the world.

Η κοινή ισραηλινοαμερικανική «αποκεφάλιση» του ιρανικού καθεστώτος σηματοδοτεί το τέλος της «Δυτικής Πορείας» (Westward March) της Κίνας και ένα πλήγμα στην παγκόσμια επιρροή της.

The widening war centered on Iran is reverberating far beyond the Middle East, exposing a structural vulnerability in Central Asia’s economic geography: the region’s reliance on transport corridors that pass through or near Iran and the Persian Gulf.
