SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey under the motto “an attack on one is an attack on all,” is viewed by some analysts less as a full-fledged military coalition and more as an attempt to reduce security dependence on an external power and to establish a regional security mechanism.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US-Saudi nuclear agreement, despite legal and political ambiguities, could alter previous non-proliferation standards in West Asia and intensify nuclear competition, ushering it into a new phase.

SCFR Online – Opinion: The future of the so-called Trump peace plan for Gaza, despite claims of an agreement on Hamas’s disarmament, remains shrouded in ambiguity due to structural deficiencies and opposition from key actors.
SCFR Online – Opinion: An examination of the mechanisms of the Israeli regime’s influence in the United States depicts a complex picture of shared interests, strategic dependencies, and the limitations of this relationship.
SCFR Online – Interview: The signing of the Makkah agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey has raised questions about the future of the region’s security structure and the position of these countries in West Asian equations. Can this agreement become a genuine collective defense mechanism, or does it have more of a political and deterrent function than creating new military capacity?
SCFR Online – Opinion: The continuation of the US war against Iran, in addition to increasing operational costs, has called into question the actual capacity of the American arsenal to simultaneously fulfill security commitments on multiple fronts; an issue that affects deterrence, defense production capacity, and Washington’s resource prioritization.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Russia-Ukraine war and the war of the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran have been formed with different objectives and actors, but field and political developments indicate that they are not entirely separate from one another.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: The associate professor of international relations at the University of Tehran, while explaining Moscow’s targets and challenges in implementing its new foreign policy strategy document, said: Russia’s desire to shape the new structures and norms in the international system is not a simple task; meanwhile, in this case too, Moscow’s strategy has its contradictions.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In recent weeks, the Zionist regime has faced a “big and new crisis” within the military and security institutions, which is unprecedented and, according to some Zionist officials, “terrible.”
Hamid Khoshayand – Expert on regional affairs
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The war in Ukraine and the imposition of 13,656 sanctions against Russia, as well as blocking half of that country’s foreign exchange reserves (300 billion dollars) in foreign banks, has intensified the incentive for different countries in the world, from Brazil to Southeast Asia to “de-dollarize” foreign trade.
Barsam Mohammadi – Expert on international affairs
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Repeated missile attacks on Syria can have several goals, including maintaining the atmosphere of tension, measuring Syrian air defense systems and radars, supporting terrorists, etc., but the coincidence of these attacks with the internal crisis of the Zionist regime strengthens this hypothesis and proves that this regime has resorted to the policy of “exporting a severe internal crisis.”
Hamid Khoshayand—Expert in regional issues
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Saudi affairs stated that concerning the considerations the oil-producing countries had about the drop in oil prices, the decision to reduce supply by OPEC+ was probable.

Strategic Council Online – Guest Opinion: The normalization of relations between Tehran and Riyadh, despite several decades of tension in Iran-Saudi Arabia relations, has created new speculations about the prospects of ties between the two countries. Despite many controversial cases between Iran and Saudi Arabia, there are many fears and hopes about the results of the resumption of relations between Tehran and Riyadh and its effects and regional consequences. Still, with the current conditions, it seems that the drivers are effective in improving the atmosphere of cooperation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and solving regional issues is stronger than the challenges and doubts in this regard.
Abbas Aslani – International affairs expert
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An analyst of international affairs emphasized: Under the current situation, the US is not able to compete with China in Africa, but if it can advance its long-term plan in the form of sanctions or a war of chips, it can shock and deal a blow on China’s position in Africa and also affect the economy of that country.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to resume bilateral relations is West Asia’s most important political and diplomatic event.
Barsam Mohammadi – International affairs analyst
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Relations between Russia and the Zionist regime have always accompanied many ups and downs. In some cases, cooperation and coordination and some cases, conflict and disagreement have defined the relations of the parties. This situation became more evident after the Ukrainian War. Although Tel Aviv tried to show some neutrality towards the war in Ukraine from the beginning, the talks of its military aid to Ukraine led to a wave of differences between Tel Aviv and Moscow.

Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Repeated missile attacks on Syria can have several goals, including maintaining the atmosphere of tension, measuring Syrian air defense systems and radars, supporting terrorists, etc., but the coincidence of these attacks with the internal crisis of the Zionist regime strengthens this hypothesis and proves that this regime has resorted to the policy of “exporting a severe internal crisis.”

Strategic Council Online – Guest Opinion: The normalization of relations between Tehran and Riyadh, despite several decades of tension in Iran-Saudi Arabia relations, has created new speculations about the prospects of ties between the two countries. Despite many controversial cases between Iran and Saudi Arabia, there are many fears and hopes about the results of the resumption of relations between Tehran and Riyadh and its effects and regional consequences. Still, with the current conditions, it seems that the drivers are effective in improving the atmosphere of cooperation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and solving regional issues is stronger than the challenges and doubts in this regard.

In some cases, cooperation and coordination and some cases, conflict and disagreement have defined the relations of the parties. This situation became more evident after the Ukrainian War. Although Tel Aviv tried to show some neutrality towards the war in Ukraine from the beginning, the talks of its military aid to Ukraine led to a wave of differences between Tel Aviv and Moscow.
