SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s active deterrence strategy, while increasing the costs of US intervention, has increasingly exposed the hidden rifts between Washington’s interests and those of the Israeli regime.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war was not merely a European crisis, but rather the starting point for the rearrangement of the global balance of power and a shift in the strategic behavior of great powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Great power competition is now pursued more in trade, currency, technology, and global supply chains than on the battlefields of military confrontation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: By disregarding Iran’s deterrence capabilities and political economy leverage in the Strait of Hormuz, Washington has reached a strategic deadlock from which military means are unable to extricate it.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Foreign policy analysis is valid when it evaluates decisions based on the information and circumstances prevailing at the time they were made, not on the basis of outcomes that only become apparent after the crisis has ended.
SCFR Online-Opinion: Sanctions are gradually transforming from classical financial instruments into complex mechanisms for the containment of technology, data, and global supply chains.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The impact of the war in Gaza on Benjamin Netanyahu’s “political future” is one of the “important consequences” of the war in the internal arena of the Zionist regime. The war in Gaza will be the end of Netanyahu’s political life, who made many efforts to gain power in the last election.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Yemen is the most important front that has been opened against the Zionist regime parallel with the Gaza war and has been able to inflict strategic and important blows on that regime in field and non-field dimensions.

Strategic Council Online-Opinion: Relocating the residents of Gaza out of occupied Palestine is one of the serious plans of the Zionist regime in the recent war in Gaza. The documents provided to the Palestinian resistance groups show that the Zionist regime has long been seeking to “relocate the people of Gaza” to Egypt and the residents of the West Bank to Jordan.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the past two weeks, the leaders and officials of the countries participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference known as COP28 gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to make efforts to limit global warming and increase the reduction of the role of fossil fuels in the world. Although the heavy shadow of the Israeli regime’s inhumane attacks on the Gaza Strip has cast a shadow on the conference, this year’s dry autumn and low rainfall and the dark and low rainfall winters of the past few years remind us that attention to climate change and addressing its causes and reasons is no longer a luxury or an unimportant issue, and neglecting it can directly endanger the food security, welfare, and life of the citizens of different countries, and as a result, face those governments with serious risks.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis, who traveled to Britain for an official visit, was ignored by the host in an undiplomatic move, and his planned meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was canceled and caused tension between the two countries. Following Sunak’s decision to cancel the meeting, security measures to be implemented for the Greek delegation were also canceled, which was a sign of the height of disrespect to the Greek Prime Minister. This British move is due to the differences between the two countries over returning the historic Parthenon statues, which are illegally kept in the London Museum, and Britain refuses to return them.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: There are various signs that indicate the failure of the US “New Middle East” plan in the region, as the Al-Aqsa Storm is the last sign of the failure of the old US plan to create a new Middle East, which could have unprecedented consequences in geostrategic and geopolitical dimensions. Barsam Mohammadi – Expert on regional affairs
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Al-Aqsa Storm was a response to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian nation, which caused irreparable damage to that regime.
Hamid Khoshayand – Expert in regional affairs
Strategic Council Online-Opinion: During the past few days, the Gaza Strip witnessed a temporary ceasefire for the mutual release of Zionist and Palestinian prisoners and limited aid to Gaza. The ceasefire was finally implemented not because of respect for the UN General Assembly vote or the Security Council resolution but because of political negotiations, the mediation of Qatar, and the United States’s green light.
Mohammad Mehdi Mazaheri—University professor
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Field and political estimates show that elements in the Zionist regime’s cabinet are seeking a “war of attrition” in Gaza. Because the end of this war will be the “starting point” of the escalation of problems in the Occupied Territories, especially against the cabinet and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: For the first time in more than a decade, Germany issued its “new defense policy guidelines,” and “Boris Pistorius,” the German Minister of Defense, asked the pillars of his country to be “ready for a war” and “capable of defense.” He has pledged to strengthen the army to become the backbone of European deterrence and collective defense.

Strategic Council Online-Opinion: Relocating the residents of Gaza out of occupied Palestine is one of the serious plans of the Zionist regime in the recent war in Gaza. The documents provided to the Palestinian resistance groups show that the Zionist regime has long been seeking to “relocate the people of Gaza” to Egypt and the residents of the West Bank to Jordan.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the past two weeks, the leaders and officials of the countries participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference known as COP28 gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to make efforts to limit global warming and increase the reduction of the role of fossil fuels in the world. Although the heavy shadow of the Israeli regime’s inhumane attacks on the Gaza Strip has cast a shadow on the conference, this year’s dry autumn and low rainfall and the dark and low rainfall winters of the past few years remind us that attention to climate change and addressing its causes and reasons is no longer a luxury or an unimportant issue, and neglecting it can directly endanger the food security, welfare, and life of the citizens of different countries, and as a result, face those governments with serious risks.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis, who traveled to Britain for an official visit, was ignored by the host in an undiplomatic move, and his planned meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was canceled and caused tension between the two countries. Following Sunak’s decision to cancel the meeting, security measures to be implemented for the Greek delegation were also canceled, which was a sign of the height of disrespect to the Greek Prime Minister. This British move is due to the differences between the two countries over returning the historic Parthenon statues, which are illegally kept in the London Museum, and Britain refuses to return them.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: There are various signs that indicate the failure of the US “New Middle East” plan in the region, as the Al-Aqsa Storm is the last sign of the failure of the old US plan to create a new Middle East, which could have unprecedented consequences in geostrategic and geopolitical dimensions. Barsam Mohammadi – Expert on regional affairs
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Al-Aqsa Storm was a response to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian nation, which caused irreparable damage to that regime.

Strategic Council Online-Opinion: During the past few days, the Gaza Strip witnessed a temporary ceasefire for the mutual release of Zionist and Palestinian prisoners and limited aid to Gaza. The ceasefire was finally implemented not because of respect for the UN General Assembly vote or the Security Council resolution but because of political negotiations, the mediation of Qatar, and the United States’s green light.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Field and political estimates show that elements in the Zionist regime’s cabinet are seeking a “war of attrition” in Gaza. Because the end of this war will be the “starting point” of the escalation of problems in the Occupied Territories, especially against the cabinet and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: For the first time in more than a decade, Germany issued its “new defense policy guidelines,” and “Boris Pistorius,” the German Minister of Defense, asked the pillars of his country to be “ready for a war” and “capable of defense.” He has pledged to strengthen the army to become the backbone of European deterrence and collective defense.

SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s active deterrence strategy, while increasing the costs of US intervention, has increasingly exposed the hidden rifts between Washington’s interests and those of the Israeli regime.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war was not merely a European crisis, but rather the starting point for the rearrangement of the global balance of power and a shift in the strategic behavior of great powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Great power competition is now pursued more in trade, currency, technology, and global supply chains than on the battlefields of military confrontation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: By disregarding Iran’s deterrence capabilities and political economy leverage in the Strait of Hormuz, Washington has reached a strategic deadlock from which military means are unable to extricate it.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Foreign policy analysis is valid when it evaluates decisions based on the information and circumstances prevailing at the time they were made, not on the basis of outcomes that only become apparent after the crisis has ended.
SCFR Online-Opinion: Sanctions are gradually transforming from classical financial instruments into complex mechanisms for the containment of technology, data, and global supply chains.
