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.

Strategic Council Online-Opinion: Iraq has entered a new round of political, security and field developments. The safe and peaceful conduct of the parliamentary elections and the announcement of the final results, which in the broadest sense were in the national interest of Iraq, not only did not meet US expectations; Rather, there appeared in spite of the efforts of the United States and some Arab regimes in the region to abort the elections.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: An international law professor says what is transpiring in Myanmar is a humanitarian catastrophe, adding that the international community has a responsivity to shoulder and the veto power in the Security Council has prevented the council’s mechanism’s efficiency in connection with the genocide of the people of Myanmar by its government.

Hossein Sayyahi – Researcher on international affairs
Strategic Council Online- Interview: An expert on Asian affairs commented on gaining power of Russia and China and their confrontation with the U.S. and said:” in the light of new changes emanated from the emergence of new powers, the international system has been placed at the threshold of a new era, in which powers like China and Russia are activists in international system and have managed to increase their share of power resources. This has caused for the U.S. a new and of course, serious challenge that can endanger the status of the country”.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many in the West thought that the Russians were interested in joining the Western world and would become more like Europeans and Americans, but it soon became clear that centuries of Russian history has given shape to a distinct and unique understanding of the position of that country in the world. Moscow now considers its security zone not the borders of the Russian Federation, but the borders of the Soviet Union, and demands that the United States and Europe accept it.
