Rahm Emanuel joins Ian Bremmer on stage at the 92nd Street Y in NYC to unpack the strategic challenges of the Iran war as Tehran has been able to exert an effective veto power over the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for global oil and energy.
Emanuel says this influence shapes ceasefires, peace negotiations, and the broader regional balance of power. Gulf states, he notes, were caught off guard and frustrated by the lack of consultation, while the US navigates how to protect its interests and those of its allies. Emanuel stresses that any solution must remove Iran’s de facto veto over the strait, framing it as a non-negotiable condition for stability in the region.

Until now, Europe has kept out of the Iran war. But with Iran attempting to hit the UK island of Diego Garcia on Friday, and fears growing that US President Donald Trump will forget about Ukraine, that calculus may have changed.
Cyber threats to water and wastewater systems are no longer hypothetical, and they pose real risks to public health, economic stability, and community trust. In collaboration with the Cyber Readiness Institute (CRI) and the Center on Cyber Technology and Innovation (CCTI), Microsoft released new findings showing that cybersecurity training alone isn’t enough to close the readiness gap in the water sector. Drawing on a pilot program, the report finds that pairing accessible training with hands‑on coaching significantly improves cyber resilience, especially for smaller and resource‑constrained utilities. The takeaway is clear: moving from awareness to preparedness requires practical, trusted support—not just guidance—offering a model that could strengthen cybersecurity across other critical infrastructure sectors as well.
