Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent speech by the U.S. President at the Al Udeid military base in Qatar contained a crucial point.

An Analysis of the Prospects for a Peace Agreement Between Ukraine and Russia
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Given the suspension of weeks-long negotiations between Russia and the United States regarding ending the war in Ukraine, Donald Trump has effectively failed to end the war in Ukraine within his expected timeframe.

Consequences of Inviting Al-Sharaa to the Arab Summit in Iraq
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The invitation to Ahmed Al-Sharaa, head of Syria’s interim government, to attend the Arab Summit in Baghdad sends a message from the Iraqi government to the Arab world that Baghdad seeks to play a central role in rebuilding Arab relations and reducing regional tensions. However, the path ahead for Baghdad does not appear straightforward. The invitation to Syria’s interim President, facilitated by the mediation of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, and Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani’s initial meeting with Al-Sharaa in Doha in February 2025, demonstrates Iraq’s determination to mediate regional conflicts.
