SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s active deterrence strategy, while increasing the costs of US intervention, has increasingly exposed the hidden rifts between Washington’s interests and those of the Israeli regime.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war was not merely a European crisis, but rather the starting point for the rearrangement of the global balance of power and a shift in the strategic behavior of great powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Great power competition is now pursued more in trade, currency, technology, and global supply chains than on the battlefields of military confrontation.

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: 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—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—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 – Note: The initiative to revive the Hejaz Railway, beyond being a transportation project, constitutes an attempt to redefine geopolitics, the economy, and Turkey’s regional position; however, its realization appears to face significant financial, security, and institutional challenges.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Strait of Hormuz crisis is no longer merely the consequence of a military confrontation, but rather a sign of the transition from the US-centered maritime order to a new energy security structure involving the participation of emerging and influential powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s active deterrence strategy, while increasing the costs of US intervention, has increasingly exposed the hidden rifts between Washington’s interests and those of the Israeli regime.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war was not merely a European crisis, but rather the starting point for the rearrangement of the global balance of power and a shift in the strategic behavior of great powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Great power competition is now pursued more in trade, currency, technology, and global supply chains than on the battlefields of military confrontation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: By disregarding Iran’s deterrence capabilities and political economy leverage in the Strait of Hormuz, Washington has reached a strategic deadlock from which military means are unable to extricate it.
