The people

Who is behind The Meridian Report

Every report on this site carries a name and stands on sources a reader can check. These are the people doing that work. The team is growing — each new researcher, analyst and editor will be listed here with their own beat and links.

Muhammad Mehdi

Founder, Publisher & Editor

United Kingdom · With the publication since 2026

Muhammad founded The Meridian Report to explain the systems behind the news rather than the headlines themselves. He edits every report published on the site and writes the research pieces on geopolitics, sanctions and trade. Alongside the publication he works in international commodity trade and logistics — the physical world of ports, supply chains and cross-border commerce that much of the coverage here examines.
