SCFR Online – Opinion: Competition over energy, minerals, and supply chains has expanded geoeconomic instruments and highlighted the role of BRICS and alternative paths in the world economic order.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The results of the Israeli regime’s elections can affect the composition of this regime’s cabinet and the manner of implementing its aggressive plans, but internal political changes do not necessarily lead to a strategic transformation in its approach to Palestine, Iran, and the Axis of Resistance.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The US military withdrawal from Iraq does not mean the end of the security relationship between Baghdad and Washington, but rather constitutes a test of the Iraqi government’s ability to manage internal threats and redefine foreign dependencies.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The proliferation of smart unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb shows that control of the sea is not possible solely with large warships, submarines, and carrier-based aircraft.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The withdrawal of American forces from Iraq has marked the end of Washington’s direct military presence in the country; however, America’s financial, political, and security levers can still affect and cause problems for the future of this country.
SCFR Online – Opinion: After months of war and economic pressure, the situation between Iran and the United States has been placed between two conflicting logics; Washington insists on intensifying pressure to gain concessions, and Tehran does not accept negotiations under pressure.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The expansion of artificial intelligence and influence operations has drawn the field of conflict from physical space to the perceptual and algorithmic environment and has turned cognitive deterrence into a strategic necessity.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Riyadh, amid the Iran war, Yemeni pressure, and ambiguous Washington guarantees, has turned to flexible balancing in order to both preserve its security and increase its bargaining power.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also known as the new and modern Silk Road, was launched in 2013 to connect Asia with Africa and Europe through land and maritime networks. Its purpose is to improve regional integration, revive land-based trade over sea and air, and foster economic growth. The project’s name was chosen by Chinese President Xi Jinping, inspired by the Silk Road, which was created 2,000 years ago during the Han dynasty. The Silk Road was, in fact, a vast ancient network of communication that included diverse trade routes connecting China through Eurasia to the Mediterranean Sea for centuries.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Recent tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad over the ‘Indus Waters Treaty’, along with climate data indicating the depletion of freshwater resources in various parts of the world, show that transboundary water resources in the 21st century are rapidly transforming from a technical and developmental issue into a strategic and even security variable.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The escalating possibility of confrontation between the world’s Eastern and Western powers, particularly after the Russia-Ukraine war, along with the consolidation of China’s narrative of itself as the largest developing country with the capacity to lead the Global South, has become a threatening issue for the West, led by America and Europe. In this context, Mark Rutte, the Secretary-General of NATO, recently spoke at a press conference in Berlin about the necessity of European military modernization and called for “changing defense postures” in line with the increasing international military threats.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Tianjin, China, can be considered one of the most significant events in recent years in terms of global power dynamics. Through its impressive hosting and the announcement of various economic and political initiatives, China attempted to present an image of a gradual transition from the West-centric financial order. The presence of leaders from Russia, India, and Central Asian countries also demonstrated that the idea of multipolarity is no longer merely a slogan but is being pursued through economic and institutional cooperation. The coincidence of the Shanghai Summit with the military parade in Beijing commemorating the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan also highlighted the integration of the “hard power–soft power” strategy on the international stage.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The joint article by the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany, recently published in Politico under the title “Why we are seeking to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran,” was an apparent attempt to present a one-sided narrative regarding Iran’s nuclear dossier. While the article emphasized increased uranium stockpiles, limited cooperation with the IAEA, and Iran’s security threats, important facts of our country’s nuclear case were ignored entirely.
Strategic Council Online Opinion: Despite past cooperation and extensive interactions between Ankara and Tel Aviv in various economic, commercial, political, and other domains, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, recently took an unprecedented step by recognizing the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire on April 24, 1915, during World War I.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: France’s Mediterranean policy, which clarifies the country’s genuine political orientation in the Euro-Mediterranean region, can be summarized in three primary strategies: strengthening France’s position in the European Union, maintaining its strategic position in Africa, and enhancing France’s political and military role in the Eastern Mediterranean. However, Ukraine and Armenia are also now gaining increasing importance in France’s Mediterranean policies.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The plan recently approved by the Lebanese government regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah is, in fact, an American project and scheme, which should be analyzed and assessed within the context of the developments of the past year in Lebanon, specifically the war waged by the Israeli regime against this country. The overarching goal of presenting such a plan is to enable the Israeli regime to impose new security arrangements in Lebanon as part of its efforts to change the regional order.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The escalating conflict between the Yemeni Resistance and the Zionist regime is a clear example of asymmetric confrontation with strategic consequences in the region. The missile operations of the Yemeni Resistance serve as a demonstration of this country’s strategic and military power and send a clear message to the Zionist regime and America regarding the costs of continuing the status quo. This has increased the legitimacy and influence of the Yemeni Resistance, led by Ansarullah, in the Arab world and turned it into an undeniable strategic actor.
Strategic Council Online: Before the illegitimate attack by the Israeli and American regimes on our country’s nuclear and military centers, Iran’s diplomatic apparatus had adopted an active and multilateral regional policy. This policy aimed to gain and maintain the trust and cooperation of important and influential regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, by keeping them informed about the progress and process of nuclear negotiations with the United States. This policy has proven to be effective. Unlike in previous instances when it was highly likely that these countries would remain silent or even cooperate with attacks on our nuclear facilities, we recently observed a unanimous condemnation of the Israeli regime’s attack on our nation by the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: France’s Mediterranean policy, which clarifies the country’s genuine political orientation in the Euro-Mediterranean region, can be summarized in three primary strategies: strengthening France’s position in the European Union, maintaining its strategic position in Africa, and enhancing France’s political and military role in the Eastern Mediterranean. However, Ukraine and Armenia are also now gaining increasing importance in France’s Mediterranean policies.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The plan recently approved by the Lebanese government regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah is, in fact, an American project and scheme, which should be analyzed and assessed within the context of the developments of the past year in Lebanon, specifically the war waged by the Israeli regime against this country. The overarching goal of presenting such a plan is to enable the Israeli regime to impose new security arrangements in Lebanon as part of its efforts to change the regional order.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The escalating conflict between the Yemeni Resistance and the Zionist regime is a clear example of asymmetric confrontation with strategic consequences in the region. The missile operations of the Yemeni Resistance serve as a demonstration of this country’s strategic and military power and send a clear message to the Zionist regime and America regarding the costs of continuing the status quo. This has increased the legitimacy and influence of the Yemeni Resistance, led by Ansarullah, in the Arab world and turned it into an undeniable strategic actor.
Strategic Council Online: Before the illegitimate attack by the Israeli and American regimes on our country’s nuclear and military centers, Iran’s diplomatic apparatus had adopted an active and multilateral regional policy. This policy aimed to gain and maintain the trust and cooperation of important and influential regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, by keeping them informed about the progress and process of nuclear negotiations with the United States. This policy has proven to be effective. Unlike in previous instances when it was highly likely that these countries would remain silent or even cooperate with attacks on our nuclear facilities, we recently observed a unanimous condemnation of the Israeli regime’s attack on our nation by the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council.

SCFR Online – Opinion: The results of the Israeli regime’s elections can affect the composition of this regime’s cabinet and the manner of implementing its aggressive plans, but internal political changes do not necessarily lead to a strategic transformation in its approach to Palestine, Iran, and the Axis of Resistance.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The US military withdrawal from Iraq does not mean the end of the security relationship between Baghdad and Washington, but rather constitutes a test of the Iraqi government’s ability to manage internal threats and redefine foreign dependencies.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The proliferation of smart unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb shows that control of the sea is not possible solely with large warships, submarines, and carrier-based aircraft.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The withdrawal of American forces from Iraq has marked the end of Washington’s direct military presence in the country; however, America’s financial, political, and security levers can still affect and cause problems for the future of this country.
SCFR Online – Opinion: After months of war and economic pressure, the situation between Iran and the United States has been placed between two conflicting logics; Washington insists on intensifying pressure to gain concessions, and Tehran does not accept negotiations under pressure.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The expansion of artificial intelligence and influence operations has drawn the field of conflict from physical space to the perceptual and algorithmic environment and has turned cognitive deterrence into a strategic necessity.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Riyadh, amid the Iran war, Yemeni pressure, and ambiguous Washington guarantees, has turned to flexible balancing in order to both preserve its security and increase its bargaining power.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also known as the new and modern Silk Road, was launched in 2013 to connect Asia with Africa and Europe through land and maritime networks. Its purpose is to improve regional integration, revive land-based trade over sea and air, and foster economic growth. The project’s name was chosen by Chinese President Xi Jinping, inspired by the Silk Road, which was created 2,000 years ago during the Han dynasty. The Silk Road was, in fact, a vast ancient network of communication that included diverse trade routes connecting China through Eurasia to the Mediterranean Sea for centuries.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Recent tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad over the ‘Indus Waters Treaty’, along with climate data indicating the depletion of freshwater resources in various parts of the world, show that transboundary water resources in the 21st century are rapidly transforming from a technical and developmental issue into a strategic and even security variable.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The escalating possibility of confrontation between the world’s Eastern and Western powers, particularly after the Russia-Ukraine war, along with the consolidation of China’s narrative of itself as the largest developing country with the capacity to lead the Global South, has become a threatening issue for the West, led by America and Europe. In this context, Mark Rutte, the Secretary-General of NATO, recently spoke at a press conference in Berlin about the necessity of European military modernization and called for “changing defense postures” in line with the increasing international military threats.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Tianjin, China, can be considered one of the most significant events in recent years in terms of global power dynamics. Through its impressive hosting and the announcement of various economic and political initiatives, China attempted to present an image of a gradual transition from the West-centric financial order. The presence of leaders from Russia, India, and Central Asian countries also demonstrated that the idea of multipolarity is no longer merely a slogan but is being pursued through economic and institutional cooperation. The coincidence of the Shanghai Summit with the military parade in Beijing commemorating the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan also highlighted the integration of the “hard power–soft power” strategy on the international stage.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The joint article by the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany, recently published in Politico under the title “Why we are seeking to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran,” was an apparent attempt to present a one-sided narrative regarding Iran’s nuclear dossier. While the article emphasized increased uranium stockpiles, limited cooperation with the IAEA, and Iran’s security threats, important facts of our country’s nuclear case were ignored entirely.
