“From Allies to Adversaries:
his y Introduction Once allies in a complex and unstable Middle East, Iran and Israel’s relationship has shifted dramatically over the past several decades. From covert military cooperation and oil deals during the reign of Iran’s Shah to today's deadly standoffs, cyberattacks, and proxy wars — their history is one of trust shattered, secrets unearthed, and a silent war that has shaped the very structure of the region.

Sophie Germain
Born in Paris in 1776, Sophie Germain grew up in an era when women were excluded from academic and scientific circles. Despite being denied a formal mathematical education in her youth and facing exclusion from the male-dominated scientific hierarchy later in life, Sophie never abandoned her passion for learning and exploration. Captivated by numbers from a young age, she found in mathematics an outlet for her creativity and boundless curiosity. Incredibly, she taught herself Latin and Greek to read mathematical texts that weren’t available in French.

The Lion and the Lamb
In a land where golden savannas met whispering forests, there was a tree older than memory itself. It stood at the edge of the two worlds—neither fully wild nor wholly tame. Under this ancient tree, fate once brought together two souls who were never meant to meet.

Babur: The Lion Who Laid the Foundation of the Mughal Empire
When I first came across the name “Babur” in my history textbook, he was just another emperor in a long list of rulers. But the deeper I dug into his life, the more he stopped being just a chapter in Indian history. He became a real person—brilliant, flawed, adventurous, and fiercely determined. Babur wasn’t just the founder of the Mughal Empire; he was a man shaped by failure, ambition, and an almost poetic sense of destiny.

Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts – Oil Soars 5% As Trump Demands Iran’s Surrender.
**Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts – Oil Soars 5% As Trump Demands Iran’s Surrender** Oil prices skyrocketed by more than 5% as Middle Eastern geopolitical tensions escalated, causing a significant shift in global energy markets. The dramatic rise was as a result of the former U.S. President Donald Trump’s strong rhetoric against Iran, demanding what he called the regime’s “complete and unconditional surrender.” West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude prices shot up as traders quickly reacted to the news, reviving the debate about supply risks and long-term price stability. WTI crude oil prices surged past the \$81 per barrel mark, while Brent crude crossed \$85, marking one of the most significant single-day increases in recent months. Natural gas also rose by nearly 2%, though it did so at a slower rate than the oil benchmarks. Geopolitical risk premiums were largely responsible for the rally because market participants had priced in the possibility of oil flows from the region being disrupted. Iran is an important OPEC member that has a lot of influence over the Strait of Hormuz, which is a crucial chokepoint for shipping oil around the world. Trump’s remarks, made during a press event and widely broadcast across global media, sent a clear message to Tehran. Framing Iran as a destabilizing force, he called for the international community to back what he termed a final effort to "remove the threat of terrorism and nuclear ambition from the region." Even though Trump is not in office right now, his statements are important, especially to right-wing leaders and Washington policymakers. As the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle continues, energy traders are increasingly paying attention to how foreign policy rhetoric might influence market behavior.
