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.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the past two weeks, the leaders and officials of the countries participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference known as COP28 gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to make efforts to limit global warming and increase the reduction of the role of fossil fuels in the world. Although the heavy shadow of the Israeli regime’s inhumane attacks on the Gaza Strip has cast a shadow on the conference, this year’s dry autumn and low rainfall and the dark and low rainfall winters of the past few years remind us that attention to climate change and addressing its causes and reasons is no longer a luxury or an unimportant issue, and neglecting it can directly endanger the food security, welfare, and life of the citizens of different countries, and as a result, face those governments with serious risks.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Europe is entering into its second winter since the valves of Russian gas pipelines were closed while it has managed to register a new record in the volume of its gas reserves. After the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, Europe set a crisis plan to reduce its reliance on Russian fuel. Accordingly, the gas storage level should be completed by 65% by August, 80% by October, and 90% by November 2023. But after the end of this summer, two months ahead of schedule, the gas storage level was completed by 90%.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the past two weeks, the leaders and officials of the countries participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference known as COP28 gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to make efforts to limit global warming and increase the reduction of the role of fossil fuels in the world. Although the heavy shadow of the Israeli regime’s inhumane attacks on the Gaza Strip has cast a shadow on the conference, this year’s dry autumn and low rainfall and the dark and low rainfall winters of the past few years remind us that attention to climate change and addressing its causes and reasons is no longer a luxury or an unimportant issue, and neglecting it can directly endanger the food security, welfare, and life of the citizens of different countries, and as a result, face those governments with serious risks.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Europe is entering into its second winter since the valves of Russian gas pipelines were closed while it has managed to register a new record in the volume of its gas reserves. After the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, Europe set a crisis plan to reduce its reliance on Russian fuel. Accordingly, the gas storage level should be completed by 65% by August, 80% by October, and 90% by November 2023. But after the end of this summer, two months ahead of schedule, the gas storage level was completed by 90%.
