SCFR Online – Opinion: The simultaneity of pressure on the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb has turned the geography of energy and shipping into a new arena for the emergence of new risks, costs, and leverage.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed on August 7, 2026, between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, is more than an answer to geopolitical vacuums; in practice, it faces a “deterrence dilemma” and “differing threat perception.” While this pact symbolizes a transition toward regional self-reliance, its first field tests and the complexities of relations with regional actors will determine its real meaning.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The reason for Washington’s reluctance to enter directly into war with Ansarullah is military and economic limitations, electoral considerations, and concern about the expansion of the crisis at two energy chokepoints.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Ansarullah’s recent lightning-fast operation and surprise advances on Yemen’s western coast have rapidly transformed the equations of the war in that country and developments in West Asia, and have challenged the calculations of Saudi Arabia, the United States, the West, and the Israeli regime.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The intensification of U.S. sanctions against Iran on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections indicates Washington’s inability to achieve its war objectives.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between Washington and Beijing over chips and artificial intelligence, simultaneously with the shifting of technological balances, has taken on new economic and security dimensions.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The stance of “neither support nor opposition of China” towards Russia’s war against Ukraine is due to the fact that the country, on the one hand, has some strong incentives for supporting Russia and Moscow’s victory in confronting the West and, on the other hand, is concerned about the negative consequences of Russian sanctions and their repetition.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: As long as China will not achieve a much higher position than it does today in the hierarchy of power of the international system, in the case of Taiwan it will not resort to the same way that Russia did to Ukraine. The West’s coherence in the Russian embargo was instructive for Beijing that the West merely wants an excuse in a legitimate form to weaken its rivals and enemies.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: Former Iranian Ambassador to France said:” Russians have shown if the pressures were going to mount on them, they would raise impediments to other dossiers related to the Western links that can harm their relations with concerned parties”.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An analyst of Zionist regime’s affairs, saying that threats against the regime are more serious and fundamental than those outlined in the annual security report, added: In this document, the possibility of a nuclear deal in Vienna is one of those challenges that, given some of the changes that have taken place in Mossad, continuing to obstruct Iran’s nuclear program is the regime’s main strategy to counter it.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: War has always been a reprehensible phenomenon because of its destructive material and immaterial effects and consequences, except in cases where it is a factor in defending human life and survival, community, public order and security, confronting the aggressor and preventing oppression and injustice.
