SCFR Online – Interview: The signing of the Makkah agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey has raised questions about the future of the region’s security structure and the position of these countries in West Asian equations.

Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international law expert said: Although there are appropriate laws and regulations regarding the non-sending of arms to countries that violate human rights and humanitarian law, the recent proposal of the UN Special Rapporteur, considering the crimes committed in Gaza and occupied Palestine by the Israeli regime, can complement and improve the current laws and help them in terms of implementation.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on American affairs believes that Donald Trump’s territorial and sovereign threats against Denmark, Canada, and Mexico stem from his nationalistic approach and force these countries to accept the increase in trade tariffs from the United States.
Strategic Council Online: An international affairs expert said that Europe and the United States will definitely put pressure on various ruling groups to change their approach towards minorities, women, and different ethnic groups in Syria in order to normalize political and economic relations with Syria domestically, regionally, and internationally.

Strategic Council Online: Dr. Seyed Kamal Kharrazi stated that the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria was part of an American-Israeli plot, with the most compelling evidence being the immediate visit of a U.S. Deputy Secretary of State to Damascus and the withdrawal of the $10 million bounty for the capture of Golani.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Middle East issues said: Recently, the head of the Palestinian Authority appointed the speaker of the National Assembly of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the interim head of the PA during the transition period. In the course of his speech on the eve of the “Declaration of Independence” of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbass, the head of the Palestinian Authority, noted: “In the event of a vacancy in the position of the chairman of the Palestinian Authority, in accordance with the Palestinian electoral law, the speaker of the Palestinian National Assembly will temporarily assume the presidency of the PA until the elections are held.” Rawfi Fattuh is currently the chairman of the Palestinian National Assembly, the legislative body of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: A proxy war is when two countries fight each other indirectly by supporting the warring parties. Classic examples from the Cold War era include the Congo crisis in the 1960s and the Angola crisis in the 1970s when the Soviet Union and the United States supported each of the warring sides in a civil war with money, weapons, and sometimes soldiers, but never directly engaged in the war themselves. Accordingly, the approach of the United States and Europe, in the form of NATO and their all-out support for Ukraine, has all the hallmarks of a proxy war against Russia.

Classic examples from the Cold War era include the Congo crisis in the 1960s and the Angola crisis in the 1970s when the Soviet Union and the United States supported each of the warring sides in a civil war with money, weapons, and sometimes soldiers, but never directly engaged in the war themselves. Accordingly, the approach of the United States and Europe, in the form of NATO and their all-out support for Ukraine, has all the hallmarks of a proxy war against Russia.
