Iran's Ceasefire Illusion, India's Geopolitical Rise, and the Gaza Peace Fund Nobody Funded | Irina Tsukerman | Global Politics for Leaders 69

Is the US-Iran ceasefire real — or a convenient fiction? In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman — the bi-weekly geopolitical series on KAJ Masterclass LIVE — host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) sits down with Irina Tsukerman, US-based national security and human rights lawyer, geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider, to dissect a Middle East in controlled chaos: why Trump keeps treating a violated ceasefire as intact, what Iran is actually waiting out, and how the Strait of Hormuz blockade is quietly strangling economies from Kuwait to India. The conversation expands outward — Venezuela's interim leader visiting New Delhi, Marco Rubio's maintenance diplomacy in India, China's conspicuous absence from the Shangri-La Dialogue, and Japan's quiet transformation into a serious regional security actor. Each thread connects: energy dependence, supply chain fragility, and the realignment of middle powers in an era of great-power competition. The episode closes on Gaza's Board of Peace — $17 billion pledged, zero transferred, and a reconstruction mandate with no money behind it. Support independent journalism: https://kajmasterclass.com
