SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when the West Asia region, particularly in recent months, has been undergoing the most complex political and security developments of the past half-century, the sudden decision by the cabinet of the Zionist regime to recognize the Armenian genocide committed by Turkey, which has faced strong condemnation and opposition from Ankara and Baku, raises questions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent aggressive war launched by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran not only failed to strengthen NATO, but also exposed the structural weaknesses, deep divisions, and identity crisis of this alliance more than ever before.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between China and the United States is no longer solely about economics or military power, but is now centered on the control of algorithms, data, and the governance rules of artificial intelligence.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Washington trilateral agreement, by linking the end of occupation to political and security conditions, does not establish a sustainable peace; rather, it consolidates the occupation.
SCFRONLINE – Opinion: The war against Iran was not merely a military confrontation, but a turning point that challenged many of the security assumptions of West Asia and even the Western alliance system.
SCFRonline – Opinion: Unlike classical powers, Beijing pursues its preferred order not through territorial occupation, but through technology, capital, standard-setting, and digital governance.
SCFR online – Opinion: Competition among major powers has shifted from land to sea, and control of maritime chokepoints has become the most important component of global geopolitics.

SCFRonline – Opinion: Unlike classical powers, Beijing pursues its preferred order not through territorial occupation, but through technology, capital, standard-setting, and digital governance.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The confrontation between Iran and the West has moved beyond traditional military arenas and now continues in the realm of perception, data, and artificial intelligence.
SCFR Online – Opinion: In the war between Iran and the United States, the main battlefield was not defined solely in the military domain; rather, the battle of narratives in cyberspace—particularly through memes—reached a decisive level.
SCFR Online – Note: The militarization of artificial intelligence has eroded the boundaries of ethics and responsibility in warfare, transforming contemporary conflicts into arenas where human decision-making has become increasingly marginalized.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The internal situation of the Israeli regime during the 40-day war can be analyzed from several perspectives. The popularity levels of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud Party, and the ruling coalition led by Netanyahu until February 28, 2026, remained approximately the same as during the preceding year. The most recent factor that had somewhat increased Netanyahu’s popularity was the advancement of the 2024 war with Hezbollah Lebanon. Subsequently, his popularity temporarily increased during the 12-day war with Iran, but after the war, it returned to its previous state.
SCFR Online – Note: Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced on Monday morning, April 12, 2026, via his Truth Social platform that the US Navy would block the Strait of Hormuz. This decision, taken in response to the failure of Islamabad’s negotiations with Pakistan, represents—from the perspective of international relations philosophy—not merely a tactical error, but rather a reproduction of the same self-destructive logic that, from the era of ancient Greek city-states to modern empires, has drawn all hegemons emerging from “pure coercion” into the abyss of destruction.
SCFR Online: A significant number of ambassadors and diplomats resident in Tehran today paid tribute to the esteemed status of Dr. Seyyed Kamal Kharazi by visiting the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations and signing the condolence register.
SCFR Online – Note: Attacks against critical infrastructure—including bridges, power plants, water infrastructure such as desalination facilities, and hospitals—constitute a blatant violation of the laws of war and represent a serious test for the efficacy of the international legal order.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: On the threshold of a new era of space competition between Beijing and Washington, the sky is no longer considered merely an arena for great-power conflict but has become a potential platform for the development of civilian defense applications for countries.
