Dear Reader,

Big wars are often reduced to big powers. But their most revealing stories lie elsewhere – in the disruptions, distortions and quiet consequences that don’t always make the front page.

In our coverage of the US-Israel war on Iran, Scroll has focused on those undercurrents. We reported on how supply shocks are beginning to squeeze India’s small manufacturers, and how misinformation around energy routes can obscure policy failures closer to home. We tracked how political solidarities – from Punjab to elsewhere – are being shaped by history, identity and memory.

We also looked beyond oil, highlighting less discussed risks like water stress in an already fragile region. And we carried voices from inside Iran, where ordinary people are navigating fear, fatigue and uncertainty as the conflict unfolds around them.

This range of reporting reflects who we are. Scroll is a small newsroom, but we punch above our weight, bringing together reporting, sharp analysis and perspectives that are often missing in larger conversations.

If you find value in our journalism, please consider becoming a Scroll Member. Reader support allow us to continue doing work that is independent, rigorous and wide-ranging.

Regards,
Team Scroll
