Strategic Council Online—Interview: An analyst of Western Asia affairs says even though the new government of the Zionist regime has been formed out of a coalition of rightist, leftist and moderate parties, one may witness more radical moves in order to create stronger unity among them, adding that Israel did not expect a resolute missile response from resistance groups in the 12-day war and under such circumstances, it would not be easy for the Zionist regime to attack Gaza once again.

Strategic Council Online – An expert on Afghanistan affairs regarding the recent developments in Afghanistan and the rise of the Taliban said: In recent days, the Taliban have succeeded in gaining control over almost large parts of Afghanistan. This dominance is important when we look at the partition of Afghanistan before the Taliban took control; in that division, one part of about 8 to 10 percent was under the control of the Taliban, one part of 20 to 30 percent was under the control of the government and the rest were almost gray areas that were not under the effective control of any of those forces.
Strategic Council Online- According to the Director Yemen desk, at Mersaad think-tank, with the departure of Omani delegation to Sanaa, there was a promising perspective that war would stop, everybody was waiting for a serious incident in this respect. But with statements of political authorities of Haadi government, and also Sanaa government, it was clear that the talks would lead to nowhere.
Having enjoyed the extensive reserves of gas and oil, Iraq has always been an interesting country for foreign investors and well-known and major companies in the energy field. But political-security incidents and unrests of the country within the past few decades have made it hard and even sometimes impossible for activities in the energy field. Unlike other Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, not enough investment was made in Iraq especially in the energy sector.
