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.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit has created a new opportunity for Iran to transform its membership from a political achievement into economic and transit cooperation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: The Makkah Defense Pact can be seen as a sign of regional countries’ efforts to reduce security dependence on extra-regional powers and redefine the balance in West Asia.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war, by exhausting US military capability on one hand and strengthening European defense capacity on the other, has altered the balance of power in the European continent, cast uncertainty over NATO’s future, and is driving it toward a European NATO.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The dissolution of the SDF, although considered an achievement for Turkey’s security, does not put an end to the challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s aggression and expansionism, refugees, and Syria’s fragility.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US sanctions against Iran, despite extensive propaganda, face serious obstacles to success due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions tools and opposition from some of Tehran’s trading partners.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs analyst stated that according to a recent poll by the Maariv newspaper, Netanyahu’s ruling coalition would secure only 49 seats in the Knesset (parliament) if new elections were held, losing one seat, while a minimum of 61 seats is required to form a government. This situation and military and judicial failures will place Netanyahu in the most critical phase of his leadership.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A regional affairs expert stated that the months-long history of conflict between the Israeli regime and Ansar Allah has shown that the leaders and structure of Ansar Allah will not collapse, even with continued intense attacks by the U.S. and the Zionist regime, nor with the potential assassination and loss of their leaders. They will continue their resistance and warfare against the Israeli regime. In reality, the Yemeni resistance has demonstrated that the Israeli regime is incapable of defeating or pushing back Ansar Allah from their positions in support of the people of Gaza and Palestine.
Strategic Online Council – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert stated that the Zionist regime’s policy of creating famine for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is “deliberate.” This policy is not only an attempt to weaken the Palestinian resistance but also part of a long-term strategy to alter the demographic composition of the Strip. The recent warning by the World Food Program about an imminent famine in Gaza has once again drawn global attention to the humanitarian crisis in the region. United Nations reports also indicate that over two million people in Gaza face severe food insecurity, exacerbated by the Zionist regime’s obstruction of humanitarian aid.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A faculty member of International Relations at the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies stated: The 34th Arab League Summit was held in Baghdad on Saturday, May 17. 2024). In their final statement, Arab leaders called on the international community to pressure the Zionist regime to stop the bloodshed and massacres in Gaza. The summit’s final statement focused on the centrality of the Palestinian issue and the demand for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. However, the question remains: Why has this body, aside from issuing a series of ineffective statements, failed to play a role in regional matters?
Strategic Council Online – Interview: The Secretary-General of the Iran-China Strategic Studies Think Tank stated that the temporary reduction of tariffs between the U.S. and China will not significantly alleviate the distrust among traders and investors, as U.S.-China trade relations during the Trump era remain highly challenging.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior European affairs analyst stated that the European Union needs military autonomy and responsibility to reduce its dependence on the United States and strengthen its defense capabilities. However, there are serious doubts about whether this can be achieved.
Strategic Council Online– Interview: An international affairs expert stated that the agreement between Ukraine and the U.S. on sharing profits from the sale of Ukrainian minerals, along with the shift in the U.S. stance on peace negotiations and the fading of its mediation between Moscow and Kyiv, demonstrates that Trump was never genuinely concerned with peace, termination of the war, or respecting the territorial integrity of nations. Instead, his sole focus has been securing his interests and objectives in Ukraine.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A former Iranian diplomat said: Although Donald Trump’s territorial claims will not be a serious threat to the new Canadian government, the tariff war could burden the Canadian economy and the new government.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on regional issues referring to the Israeli regime’s move to try two military officials for violating human rights and humanitarian law, said: the Israeli regime officials believe that domestically they should expel Palestinians, and internationally they should make it seem like a standard action, so they are trying to justify the accusations against them by holding show trials.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior analyst on Palestinian issues said: The occupied West Bank is once again witnessing increasing tensions. According to Anadolu News Agency, Israeli authorities prevented Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa from visiting the villages of Burqa, Deir Dabwan, Duma, and Qusra, areas that are the target of attacks by illegal settlers. At the same time, in Nablus, settlers kidnapped two Palestinian children and tied them to a tree; an incident that has sounded the alarm for the Palestinians that their lives are in danger. Since the beginning of the Gaza war, 952 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, and more than 7,000 have been injured.
