An Analysis of Baku’s Mediation between Syria and the Israeli Regime
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated that recently, Ilham Aliyev, the President of Azerbaijan, by announcing his country’s mediating role between the Israeli regime and Syria, attempted to turn Baku into one of the active regional players. In an interview, Aliyev emphasized that the primary goal of this action is to strengthen peace and stability in the Middle East. Furthermore, Aliyev spoke of Azerbaijan’s readiness to support the restoration of relations between Turkey and the Israeli regime and elaborated on his country’s humanitarian and energy assistance to Syria, including the export of gas to Syria based on a quadrilateral agreement with Turkey and Qatar, which began on August 2nd and may increase in the future. However, regional analysts view this mediation with skepticism, seeing it as being in line with Tel Aviv’s interests and the improvement of Baku’s geopolitical standing.

Objectives and Messages of China’s Military Drill Concurrent with the SCO Summit
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior analyst on Chinese affairs stated that China’s major military drill on September 3, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, is far more than a simple military event; it carries immense importance in today’s geopolitical equations. The presence of Vladimir Putin, Masoud Pezeshkian, and Kim Jong-un alongside Xi Jinping not only reflects the convergence of non-Western powers against pressure from the United States and NATO but also demonstrates Beijing’s efforts to consolidate its position as a decisive player in the global order. Among the 26 foreign leaders participating in this parade, none of the Western leaders are present except for Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia. Also attending are Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus; Prabowo Subianto, President of Indonesia; Aleksandar Vučić, President of Serbia; and Woo Won-sik, Speaker of South Korea’s National Assembly. Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General of the UN, will also be present on behalf of the organization.
This drill—considered one of the largest military maneuvers in China’s modern history—focuses on showcasing the latest defensive and offensive technologies, including hypersonic weapon systems and advanced communication networks whose capabilities could alter the balance of power in East Asia and even globally. This event is not merely a show of military force but also serves as a tool of deterrence and diplomacy. Under growing economic and diplomatic pressure, China is demonstrating through such drills that it possesses the ability to manage crises and reshape regional equations. In fact, Beijing is seizing this opportunity both to reassure its allies and to warn its rivals that East Asia is no longer under American dominance.
Objectives and Consequences of the South Caucasus Trilateral Agreement
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Eurasian affairs analyst stated that the trilateral agreement between Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the United States on August 8, 2025, known as the “Trump Route,” is a turning point in the geopolitical equations of the South Caucasus. This agreement, ostensibly signed for peace and the establishment of a transit corridor between Baku and Nakhchivan, carries serious concerns. From the perspective of analysts, this plan is not merely an economic project but part of the U.S. strategy to enhance its influence in the region and contain regional powers such as Iran and Russia.
Venezuela Crisis and US Interventionist Strategy in Latin America
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Latin American affairs analyst stated that the Trump administration’s view of South America is fundamentally defined by ideological pessimism and hostility towards socialist systems. Just as the United States pursued a policy of regime change in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Chile over the past decades, it is following the same approach in Venezuela.
Trump and the Humiliation of Europe in the Ukraine Crisis
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international affairs analyst stated that Trump’s deal-oriented and authoritarian diplomacy, disregarding the complexities of a multipolar world, is doomed to failure. Lasting peace in Ukraine will only be possible through cooperation with Europe and respect for international law. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, with a deal-oriented approach aimed at quickly ending the war in Ukraine, has increased pressure on Europe to accept primary responsibility for that country’s security guarantees. According to a Politico report, senior Pentagon officials, in meetings with European defense ministers, emphasized that the U.S. would play a minimal role in this regard, with the main burden falling on Europe. This approach, evident at the August 18 meeting in Washington with European leaders and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlights a deep rift in transatlantic relations. Europe, concerned about the diminishing U.S. commitments to NATO and the fragility of the peace, is seeking security independence and strengthening its own diplomacy.
Martyrdom of 270 Journalists by the Zionist Regime: A Deplorable and Unprecedented Record in the History of Wars
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst wrote: A report by the Hebrew magazine “972” reveals that after October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime established a unit called the “Legitimization Unit” for media warfare and defaming Palestinian journalists. The goal of this unit is not security-related, but rather an effort to legitimize the actions of the Israeli regime in the eyes of public opinion and prevent international pressure. According to this report, the Israeli regime’s intelligence teams distort data and falsely link journalists to Hamas to both justify their killing and silence the Palestinian narrative. In some cases, a journalist was labeled as a “Hamas member” before being assassinated—an act that amounts to an unofficial death sentence in Gaza. The severe restrictions on foreign journalists entering Gaza are also part of this policy of narrative monopoly. According to statistics, over the past 22 months, at least 270 journalists have been killed in Gaza—an unprecedented number that exceeds the total number of journalists killed in World Wars, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The recent drone attack on journalists’ tents near Al-Shifa Hospital and the martyrdom of Al Jazeera journalists represent the peak of this targeted and inhumane policy. As a result, the Israeli regime’s war against Gaza is not only military but also an organized media battle to distort reality and legitimize war crimes.
New China-India Engagement: Formation of a New Strategy in Asia
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international relations analyst stated that the recent visit of Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister, to New Delhi is not merely a routine diplomatic meeting; rather, it represents a decisive point in the geopolitical equations of South Asia and even the new global order. After four years of tension and distrust stemming from deadly border clashes in Ladakh and Beijing’s full-throated support for Islamabad during the four-day India-Pakistan war, Beijing and New Delhi are now moving towards economic and political reconciliation under circumstances where external variables, including Trump’s tariff pressures and India’s closeness to Russia, have complicated the equation.
New Syrian-Zionist Interactions and the Greater Israel Project
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international affairs analyst stated that the recent meeting of the foreign minister of Syria’s interim government with a delegation from the Zionist regime in Paris marks a turning point in the regional equations; an event that, beyond a simple diplomatic meeting, signifies a redefinition of strategies regarding Syria’s future. These talks, which were mediated by the United States and focused on reducing tensions in southern Syria, monitoring the ceasefire, and reactivating the 1974 agreement, clearly indicate that the Syria file can no longer be analyzed solely within the framework of an internal crisis or field conflicts. Instead, Damascus today is caught in a complex duality: on one hand, it faces the occupation of part of its territory by the Israeli regime and increasing pressures on its strategic geography, and on the other hand, it feels the necessity of utilizing diplomacy to break out of political isolation. Meanwhile, the Israeli regime seeks to consolidate its position in the region, an issue that links to the long-standing project of “Greater Israel” and efforts to dismantle the traditional structures of the Middle East.
Decoding the Israeli Regime’s Narrative-Building in the Gaza War
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.

The presence of Vladimir Putin, Masoud Pezeshkian, and Kim Jong-un alongside Xi Jinping not only reflects the convergence of non-Western powers against pressure from the United States and NATO but also demonstrates Beijing’s efforts to consolidate its position as a decisive player in the global order. Among the 26 foreign leaders participating in this parade, none of the Western leaders are present except for Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia. Also attending are Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus; Prabowo Subianto, President of Indonesia; Aleksandar Vučić, President of Serbia; and Woo Won-sik, Speaker of South Korea’s National Assembly. Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General of the UN, will also be present on behalf of the organization.
This drill—considered one of the largest military maneuvers in China’s modern history—focuses on showcasing the latest defensive and offensive technologies, including hypersonic weapon systems and advanced communication networks whose capabilities could alter the balance of power in East Asia and even globally. This event is not merely a show of military force but also serves as a tool of deterrence and diplomacy. Under growing economic and diplomatic pressure, China is demonstrating through such drills that it possesses the ability to manage crises and reshape regional equations. In fact, Beijing is seizing this opportunity both to reassure its allies and to warn its rivals that East Asia is no longer under American dominance.
Objectives and Consequences of the South Caucasus Trilateral Agreement
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Eurasian affairs analyst stated that the trilateral agreement between Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the United States on August 8, 2025, known as the “Trump Route,” is a turning point in the geopolitical equations of the South Caucasus. This agreement, ostensibly signed for peace and the establishment of a transit corridor between Baku and Nakhchivan, carries serious concerns. From the perspective of analysts, this plan is not merely an economic project but part of the U.S. strategy to enhance its influence in the region and contain regional powers such as Iran and Russia.
Venezuela Crisis and US Interventionist Strategy in Latin America
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Latin American affairs analyst stated that the Trump administration’s view of South America is fundamentally defined by ideological pessimism and hostility towards socialist systems. Just as the United States pursued a policy of regime change in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Chile over the past decades, it is following the same approach in Venezuela.
Trump and the Humiliation of Europe in the Ukraine Crisis
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international affairs analyst stated that Trump’s deal-oriented and authoritarian diplomacy, disregarding the complexities of a multipolar world, is doomed to failure. Lasting peace in Ukraine will only be possible through cooperation with Europe and respect for international law. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, with a deal-oriented approach aimed at quickly ending the war in Ukraine, has increased pressure on Europe to accept primary responsibility for that country’s security guarantees. According to a Politico report, senior Pentagon officials, in meetings with European defense ministers, emphasized that the U.S. would play a minimal role in this regard, with the main burden falling on Europe. This approach, evident at the August 18 meeting in Washington with European leaders and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlights a deep rift in transatlantic relations. Europe, concerned about the diminishing U.S. commitments to NATO and the fragility of the peace, is seeking security independence and strengthening its own diplomacy.
Martyrdom of 270 Journalists by the Zionist Regime: A Deplorable and Unprecedented Record in the History of Wars
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst wrote: A report by the Hebrew magazine “972” reveals that after October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime established a unit called the “Legitimization Unit” for media warfare and defaming Palestinian journalists. The goal of this unit is not security-related, but rather an effort to legitimize the actions of the Israeli regime in the eyes of public opinion and prevent international pressure. According to this report, the Israeli regime’s intelligence teams distort data and falsely link journalists to Hamas to both justify their killing and silence the Palestinian narrative. In some cases, a journalist was labeled as a “Hamas member” before being assassinated—an act that amounts to an unofficial death sentence in Gaza. The severe restrictions on foreign journalists entering Gaza are also part of this policy of narrative monopoly. According to statistics, over the past 22 months, at least 270 journalists have been killed in Gaza—an unprecedented number that exceeds the total number of journalists killed in World Wars, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The recent drone attack on journalists’ tents near Al-Shifa Hospital and the martyrdom of Al Jazeera journalists represent the peak of this targeted and inhumane policy. As a result, the Israeli regime’s war against Gaza is not only military but also an organized media battle to distort reality and legitimize war crimes.
New China-India Engagement: Formation of a New Strategy in Asia
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international relations analyst stated that the recent visit of Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister, to New Delhi is not merely a routine diplomatic meeting; rather, it represents a decisive point in the geopolitical equations of South Asia and even the new global order. After four years of tension and distrust stemming from deadly border clashes in Ladakh and Beijing’s full-throated support for Islamabad during the four-day India-Pakistan war, Beijing and New Delhi are now moving towards economic and political reconciliation under circumstances where external variables, including Trump’s tariff pressures and India’s closeness to Russia, have complicated the equation.
New Syrian-Zionist Interactions and the Greater Israel Project
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international affairs analyst stated that the recent meeting of the foreign minister of Syria’s interim government with a delegation from the Zionist regime in Paris marks a turning point in the regional equations; an event that, beyond a simple diplomatic meeting, signifies a redefinition of strategies regarding Syria’s future. These talks, which were mediated by the United States and focused on reducing tensions in southern Syria, monitoring the ceasefire, and reactivating the 1974 agreement, clearly indicate that the Syria file can no longer be analyzed solely within the framework of an internal crisis or field conflicts. Instead, Damascus today is caught in a complex duality: on one hand, it faces the occupation of part of its territory by the Israeli regime and increasing pressures on its strategic geography, and on the other hand, it feels the necessity of utilizing diplomacy to break out of political isolation. Meanwhile, the Israeli regime seeks to consolidate its position in the region, an issue that links to the long-standing project of “Greater Israel” and efforts to dismantle the traditional structures of the Middle East.
Decoding the Israeli Regime’s Narrative-Building in the Gaza War
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.

An Analysis of Baku’s Mediation between Syria and the Israeli Regime
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated that recently, Ilham Aliyev, the President of Azerbaijan, by announcing his country’s mediating role between the Israeli regime and Syria, attempted to turn Baku into one of the active regional players. In an interview, Aliyev emphasized that the primary goal of this action is to strengthen peace and stability in the Middle East. Furthermore, Aliyev spoke of Azerbaijan’s readiness to support the restoration of relations between Turkey and the Israeli regime and elaborated on his country’s humanitarian and energy assistance to Syria, including the export of gas to Syria based on a quadrilateral agreement with Turkey and Qatar, which began on August 2nd and may increase in the future. However, regional analysts view this mediation with skepticism, seeing it as being in line with Tel Aviv’s interests and the improvement of Baku’s geopolitical standing.

In fact, Beijing is seizing this opportunity both to reassure its allies and to warn its rivals that East Asia is no longer under American dominance.
Objectives and Consequences of the South Caucasus Trilateral Agreement
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Eurasian affairs analyst stated that the trilateral agreement between Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the United States on August 8, 2025, known as the “Trump Route,” is a turning point in the geopolitical equations of the South Caucasus. This agreement, ostensibly signed for peace and the establishment of a transit corridor between Baku and Nakhchivan, carries serious concerns. From the perspective of analysts, this plan is not merely an economic project but part of the U.S. strategy to enhance its influence in the region and contain regional powers such as Iran and Russia.
Venezuela Crisis and US Interventionist Strategy in Latin America
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Latin American affairs analyst stated that the Trump administration’s view of South America is fundamentally defined by ideological pessimism and hostility towards socialist systems. Just as the United States pursued a policy of regime change in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Chile over the past decades, it is following the same approach in Venezuela.
Trump and the Humiliation of Europe in the Ukraine Crisis
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international affairs analyst stated that Trump’s deal-oriented and authoritarian diplomacy, disregarding the complexities of a multipolar world, is doomed to failure. Lasting peace in Ukraine will only be possible through cooperation with Europe and respect for international law. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, with a deal-oriented approach aimed at quickly ending the war in Ukraine, has increased pressure on Europe to accept primary responsibility for that country’s security guarantees. According to a Politico report, senior Pentagon officials, in meetings with European defense ministers, emphasized that the U.S. would play a minimal role in this regard, with the main burden falling on Europe. This approach, evident at the August 18 meeting in Washington with European leaders and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlights a deep rift in transatlantic relations. Europe, concerned about the diminishing U.S. commitments to NATO and the fragility of the peace, is seeking security independence and strengthening its own diplomacy.
Martyrdom of 270 Journalists by the Zionist Regime: A Deplorable and Unprecedented Record in the History of Wars
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst wrote: A report by the Hebrew magazine “972” reveals that after October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime established a unit called the “Legitimization Unit” for media warfare and defaming Palestinian journalists. The goal of this unit is not security-related, but rather an effort to legitimize the actions of the Israeli regime in the eyes of public opinion and prevent international pressure. According to this report, the Israeli regime’s intelligence teams distort data and falsely link journalists to Hamas to both justify their killing and silence the Palestinian narrative. In some cases, a journalist was labeled as a “Hamas member” before being assassinated—an act that amounts to an unofficial death sentence in Gaza. The severe restrictions on foreign journalists entering Gaza are also part of this policy of narrative monopoly. According to statistics, over the past 22 months, at least 270 journalists have been killed in Gaza—an unprecedented number that exceeds the total number of journalists killed in World Wars, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The recent drone attack on journalists’ tents near Al-Shifa Hospital and the martyrdom of Al Jazeera journalists represent the peak of this targeted and inhumane policy. As a result, the Israeli regime’s war against Gaza is not only military but also an organized media battle to distort reality and legitimize war crimes.
New China-India Engagement: Formation of a New Strategy in Asia
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international relations analyst stated that the recent visit of Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister, to New Delhi is not merely a routine diplomatic meeting; rather, it represents a decisive point in the geopolitical equations of South Asia and even the new global order. After four years of tension and distrust stemming from deadly border clashes in Ladakh and Beijing’s full-throated support for Islamabad during the four-day India-Pakistan war, Beijing and New Delhi are now moving towards economic and political reconciliation under circumstances where external variables, including Trump’s tariff pressures and India’s closeness to Russia, have complicated the equation.
New Syrian-Zionist Interactions and the Greater Israel Project
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international affairs analyst stated that the recent meeting of the foreign minister of Syria’s interim government with a delegation from the Zionist regime in Paris marks a turning point in the regional equations; an event that, beyond a simple diplomatic meeting, signifies a redefinition of strategies regarding Syria’s future. These talks, which were mediated by the United States and focused on reducing tensions in southern Syria, monitoring the ceasefire, and reactivating the 1974 agreement, clearly indicate that the Syria file can no longer be analyzed solely within the framework of an internal crisis or field conflicts. Instead, Damascus today is caught in a complex duality: on one hand, it faces the occupation of part of its territory by the Israeli regime and increasing pressures on its strategic geography, and on the other hand, it feels the necessity of utilizing diplomacy to break out of political isolation. Meanwhile, the Israeli regime seeks to consolidate its position in the region, an issue that links to the long-standing project of “Greater Israel” and efforts to dismantle the traditional structures of the Middle East.
Decoding the Israeli Regime’s Narrative-Building in the Gaza War
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.
