Al-Zaydi’s Selection as Prime Minister, The Beginning of a New Chapter in Iraq

Al-Zaydi’s Selection as Prime Minister, The Beginning of a New Chapter in Iraq

2026/05/09

SCFR Online – Note: After approximately five months of political deadlock and institutional confusion, Ali al-Zaydi has finally been selected as Iraq’s Prime Minister. Al-Zaydi’s selection as Prime Minister represents a positive sign of the completion of the government formation process and the beginning of a new phase in Iraqi politics and governance. The emergence of a young, technocratic figure from the third generation of politicians—in a context where the country has been administered by traditional figures for decades—revives hope that Iraq may perhaps distance itself from the repetitive cycle of crises and experience a new path of stability, efficiency, and regional convergence.

Intensifying Intra-Party Divisions in the United States Regarding the Zionist Regime

2026/05/02

SCFR Online – Note: Over recent decades, support for the Zionist regime has been one of the few issues commanding bipartisan consensus in US foreign policy. Since the Cold War era, Republicans and Democrats have generally agreed on the necessity of preserving the security and survival of the Zionist regime as Washington’s most strategic ally in West Asia—and indeed, globally. However, developments in recent years—particularly the Gaza war, escalating regional conflicts, the expansion of tensions into Lebanon, and this regime’s recent warmongering against Iran—have caused this traditional consensus, especially within the Democratic Party, to face significant fractures.

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.

The United States Strategy toward the Strait of Hormuz in Confrontation with China’s Interests

2026/04/26

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the strategic geography of the global economy, certain regions attain such significance that they effectively become determining factors of the international order. The Strait of Hormuz is among these points; a narrow yet vital passage through which a considerable portion of the world’s energy transits, and whose stability is directly intertwined with the interests and economic security of many countries. However, the importance of the Strait of Hormuz is not limited solely to the volume of energy passing through it. This strait is also a stage upon which the limitations and challenges of great power politics are revealed. From China’s perspective, the policy of the United States regarding the security of this strategic chokepoint, rather than reflecting a stable order, demonstrates a set of contradictions and strategic difficulties that Washington faces in managing the regional order.

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.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Western liberalism, which after the collapse of communism in the late twentieth century considered itself the undisputed victor of the world order and promised an ideal future in political, economic, and cultural dimensions, has faced a multitude of security, identity, and management crises in the twenty-first century; crises that have not only called into question the effectiveness of international institutions but have also pushed this order into a stage of transition and uncertainty.

Public Opinion Disappointment of the Zionist Regime Regarding Success in War with Iran

2026/04/26

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.

The Logic of Force, Self-Destruction, and the Decline of US Hegemony due to the Strait of Hormuz Crisis

2026/04/16

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 – 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.

The Strategic Consequences of U.S.-China Competition in the Field of Artificial Intelligence

2026/02/09

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The continuation of competition between the United States and China in the cyber and artificial intelligence domains without common frameworks, transparency, and normative constraints will not result in the victory of one over the other, but will instead lead to the erosion of global trust in the technology domain. A world where every platform is suspect, every algorithm is a potential weapon, and every piece of data can be considered a threat.

Western liberalism on the verge of Transformation, from the Dream of a Unipolar order to the Crisis of Security and Leadership

2026/01/07

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Western liberalism, which after the collapse of communism in the late twentieth century considered itself the undisputed victor of the world order and promised an ideal future in political, economic, and cultural dimensions, has faced a multitude of security, identity, and management crises in the twenty-first century; crises that have not only called into question the effectiveness of international institutions but have also pushed this order into a stage of transition and uncertainty.

Al-Zaydi’s Selection as Prime Minister, The Beginning of a New Chapter in Iraq

2026/05/09

SCFR Online – Note: After approximately five months of political deadlock and institutional confusion, Ali al-Zaydi has finally been selected as Iraq’s Prime Minister. Al-Zaydi’s selection as Prime Minister represents a positive sign of the completion of the government formation process and the beginning of a new phase in Iraqi politics and governance. The emergence of a young, technocratic figure from the third generation of politicians—in a context where the country has been administered by traditional figures for decades—revives hope that Iraq may perhaps distance itself from the repetitive cycle of crises and experience a new path of stability, efficiency, and regional convergence.

Intensifying Intra-Party Divisions in the United States Regarding the Zionist Regime

2026/05/02

SCFR Online – Note: Over recent decades, support for the Zionist regime has been one of the few issues commanding bipartisan consensus in US foreign policy. Since the Cold War era, Republicans and Democrats have generally agreed on the necessity of preserving the security and survival of the Zionist regime as Washington’s most strategic ally in West Asia—and indeed, globally. However, developments in recent years—particularly the Gaza war, escalating regional conflicts, the expansion of tensions into Lebanon, and this regime’s recent warmongering against Iran—have caused this traditional consensus, especially within the Democratic Party, to face significant fractures.

The United States Strategy toward the Strait of Hormuz in Confrontation with China’s Interests

2026/04/26

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the strategic geography of the global economy, certain regions attain such significance that they effectively become determining factors of the international order. The Strait of Hormuz is among these points; a narrow yet vital passage through which a considerable portion of the world’s energy transits, and whose stability is directly intertwined with the interests and economic security of many countries. However, the importance of the Strait of Hormuz is not limited solely to the volume of energy passing through it. This strait is also a stage upon which the limitations and challenges of great power politics are revealed. From China’s perspective, the policy of the United States regarding the security of this strategic chokepoint, rather than reflecting a stable order, demonstrates a set of contradictions and strategic difficulties that Washington faces in managing the regional order.
