‘The imperatives of technological competition are not new. The modern struggle for AI supremacy is simply the latest iteration of a relentless, historical conflict that has defined state power for centuries. To understand the existential challenge facing Hungary today, one must first examine how past technological shifts have fundamentally dictated the rise and fall of nations.’
Was it the ‘last best chance’—as Donald Trump said—to stop the Iranian regime? Can Iran’s army resist an American–Israeli invasion? What regional and global consequences could a regime change bring? We asked an Iran expert, also a PhD candidate at the University of Public Service in Budapest, about the war’s geopolitical context and the regime’s prospects.
‘Trump has repeatedly stated that acquiring Greenland is critical to US national security. Greenland’s location between Europe and North America, as well as its proximity to the Arctic and the Atlantic Ocean, makes it strategically important from a military and defence perspective, particularly for monitoring the growing military activity of China and Russia in the region.’
Iranian Ambassador to Hungary Morteza Moradian said Hungary’s concerns about rising terrorist threats linked to the Middle East are not exaggerated, noting that regional crises can affect Europe’s security, migration, and energy stability. He denied that Iran plans attacks abroad and condemned the US–Israeli strike that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
‘The project is linked to the defence industry developments of the 4iG Group and relies on the manufacturing capacity of Rába in Győr. The initiative enables Hungary to integrate certain elements of the HIMARS system with its own industrial background, while the vehicle platform and a significant part of the assembly are provided by Hungarian companies.’
‘Khomeini and his successor Khamenei stated that the occupation of Palestine by the Jews was part of a satanic plot by the Western powers, first Great Britain and then the United States.’
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said President Trump ‘got the last laugh’ over Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran, who was killed in a US–Israeli air strike in Tehran last week, referring to past Iranian assassination plots against the POTUS. Hegseth also declared that America is ‘winning—decisively, devastatingly and without mercy’ in the war against the Islamist regime in Iran.
Can the EU fully replace Russian oil and gas with energy from other sources? How did Hungary perform in terms of energy diversification? How does the strategic expansion of Hungarian energy companies in the Balkans work? We asked the CEO of the Brussels Energy Club about what the European energy situation will be like after the introduction of a complete ban on Russian gas and oil.
‘Devoted Mahdists could rise to senior leadership positions within the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], bringing under their control the three principal pillars of Iranian power projection: militias across the region, ballistic missile forces, and the nuclear programme itself.’
While Khamenei’s death does not automatically mean the collapse of the regime, it is nevertheless a severe blow to the Islamic Revolution.
At a time when public debate is increasingly polarized and superficial, Hungarian Conservative remains committed to depth and independent thought.
