In 2025, ISW’s independent, data-driven analysis shaped how policymakers and the public understood some of the most consequential conflicts of our time— from Ukraine’s defense and Russia’s campaign to the Twelve-Day War between Israel and Iran, to China’s expanding coercive operations across the Indo-Pacific. ISW’s timely, factual intelligence ensured that decisions in Washington and allied capitals were informed by ground truth rather than adversary narratives.
As the world grows more unstable and the pace of global crises accelerates, ISW’s work has never been more essential. Your support this Giving Tuesday sustains the independence, analytical depth, and precision that make ISW a trusted resource for those shaping strategy and policy.
