SCFR Online – Opinion: Competition over energy, minerals, and supply chains has expanded geoeconomic instruments and highlighted the role of BRICS and alternative paths in the world economic order.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The results of the Israeli regime’s elections can affect the composition of this regime’s cabinet and the manner of implementing its aggressive plans, but internal political changes do not necessarily lead to a strategic transformation in its approach to Palestine, Iran, and the Axis of Resistance.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The US military withdrawal from Iraq does not mean the end of the security relationship between Baghdad and Washington, but rather constitutes a test of the Iraqi government’s ability to manage internal threats and redefine foreign dependencies.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The proliferation of smart unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb shows that control of the sea is not possible solely with large warships, submarines, and carrier-based aircraft.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The withdrawal of American forces from Iraq has marked the end of Washington’s direct military presence in the country; however, America’s financial, political, and security levers can still affect and cause problems for the future of this country.
SCFR Online – Opinion: After months of war and economic pressure, the situation between Iran and the United States has been placed between two conflicting logics; Washington insists on intensifying pressure to gain concessions, and Tehran does not accept negotiations under pressure.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The expansion of artificial intelligence and influence operations has drawn the field of conflict from physical space to the perceptual and algorithmic environment and has turned cognitive deterrence into a strategic necessity.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Riyadh, amid the Iran war, Yemeni pressure, and ambiguous Washington guarantees, has turned to flexible balancing in order to both preserve its security and increase its bargaining power.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Russia affairs expert stated that Europe will face a complex security environment in the future, including increased militarization, economic challenges stemming from cutting dependence on Russian energy, and the need to redefine relations with the U.S. and NATO. As a result, without sustainable solutions, Europe may face greater existential, economic, and social threats in the future.
Online Strategic Council – Commentary: In recent weeks, as part of advancing the so-called “New Middle East” plan by the U.S. and the Zionist regime in the region, and following the 12-day war against Iran, Washington and Tel Aviv have focused on Iraq and are pursuing a project to destabilize the country.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior European affairs analyst stated that the nuclear deterrence agreement between Britain and France marks a turning point in Europe’s security architecture. This pact not only addresses immediate threats, including those posed by Russia, but also lays the groundwork for long-term cooperation in cyber, space, and military domains. The success of this collaboration depends on the two nations’ commitment to fulfilling existing obligations and actively participating in new security arrangements.
Strategic Council Online– Analysis: Following the ceasefire between the Zionist regime and Lebanon in December 2024, the issue of disarming Lebanon’s Hezbollah has been thoughtfully placed on the agenda of the U.S. government and the Zionist regime.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated that, given the Russian threat and the rise of militarism worldwide, European countries have concluded that they must cooperate with the U.S. in establishing a unified European defense shield and strengthening NATO.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert stated that following the imposition of a ceasefire on the Zionist regime on June 23, 2025, after its military aggression against Iran, reports from Arab sources indicate the arrival of 17 heavy transport aircraft carrying military equipment from the United States and Germany to the Occupied Territories. This move, which the Iraqi media “Naya” describes as part of Western efforts to rebuild the Zionist regime’s military capabilities after heavy losses in the 12-day war with Iran, poses a serious threat to regional peace and Iran’s nuclear negotiations.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Zionist regime, which enjoyed the comprehensive support of the United States in its recent aggression against Iran, initially believed that with the surprise in the early days, the war would end quickly and the Islamic Republic of Iran would be defeated. However, contrary to the calculations of the regime and the White House, Iran immediately seized the initiative and, in response to the attacks and aggression of the Zionist regime and in self-defense, inflicted irreparable blows on this regime. As a result, the regime was ultimately scrambling to stop the attacks.
Strategic Council–Online – Interview: A European affairs expert stated that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently announced that Western allies would no longer impose any restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons against Russian military targets. Following the decision by European countries, the question arises as to why this decision was made at this stage and what consequences it will have.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: While Donald Trump, the President of the United States, was pressuring the parties involved in the Ukraine war to initiate negotiations to end the conflict, Operation Cobweb emerged as an unexpected development that transformed the dynamics of this war.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: On June 2, 2025, the Council of the European Union took an unprecedented step toward strengthening Europe’s military self-sufficiency by officially approving a new defense fund worth 150 billion euros. This decision, made after decades of institutional debate and effort in common security policy, is now regarded not merely as a technical or budgetary initiative but as a reflection of a paradigm shift in Europe’s strategic outlook on its security future.
