SCFR Online – Opinion: The meeting of the foreign ministers of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Egypt in Istanbul has provided an opportunity for diplomatic coordination regarding West Asian crises, but its success will depend on the participation of key actors and the transformation of consultations into practical measures.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The presence of high-ranking delegations from the member states of the “Makkah Joint Defense Agreement” in Tehran, at a time when the region is embroiled in military tensions and the fragile process of Iran-US negotiations, is considered a turning point in the security equations of the Persian Gulf and West Asia.
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 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.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: With the continuation of the ground operations of the Zionist regime in Gaza and the success of the Hamas resistance forces in crippling their military equipment and inflicting heavy casualties on them, important questions can be raised about the prospect of that military invasion.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Recently, we witnessed an extraordinary summit of Islamic countries in Riyadh. The Palestinians, especially the people of Gaza, had built hope on the meeting, and it was expected that at the end of it, we would see a collective, serious, and deterrent decision by the Islamic countries. But, unfortunately, such expectations were not met.
Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Mazaheri – University professor
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The widespread crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza have sparked many reactions among the public opinion of the world. Until now, and in none of the Israeli wars and crimes committed against the Palestinians, we have ever seen such “widespread reactions” in the world, especially in Western countries, against the Zionist regime.
Hamid Khoshayand – expert on regional affairs
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the United States repeatedly prevented and vetoed resolutions proposed by countries such as Brazil, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates in the Security Council in recent weeks, which called for the cessation of hostilities to send humanitarian aid to Gaza, the United Nations General Assembly, at the suggestion of the Arab countries and based on the “Unity for Peace” Resolution, decided to convene an “Emergency Special Session” on the Gaza war.

The brutal attacks of the Zionist regime’s fighters against the people of Gaza and the killing of innocent people recently have been met with various reactions and sometimes condemnation of some political leaders, as well as public protests in Turkey.
Mahmoud Fazeli – International affairs analyst
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Crimes of the Zionist regime against the people of Gaza are continued. In a recent criminal act, the fighters of that regime razed a hospital in Gaza where, in addition to the sick and injured people, ordinary citizens and civilians were sheltering.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Europe is entering into its second winter since the valves of Russian gas pipelines were closed while it has managed to register a new record in the volume of its gas reserves. After the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, Europe set a crisis plan to reduce its reliance on Russian fuel. Accordingly, the gas storage level should be completed by 65% by August, 80% by October, and 90% by November 2023. But after the end of this summer, two months ahead of schedule, the gas storage level was completed by 90%.
Hamideh Safamanesh – International relations researcher
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In a situation where, in recent months, the United States made extensive efforts to establish relations between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime, and a few Arab governments in the region also started their relations with Tel Aviv, on the anniversary of Yom Kippur War, the surprise and large-scale attack by Hamas forces on occupied territories were carried out under the codename “Al-Aqsa Storm” and by launching five thousand rockets to nearby Jewish settlements and some areas in the center of Israel. In the meantime, Hamas forces entered the areas occupied by the Israelis – an attack that caught the world by surprise and overshadowed other important crises and wars, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Karabakh crisis.
Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Mazaheri – University professor
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Zionist regime’s attempt to make the Al-Aqsa Storm operation look illegitimate and thus legitimize its war crimes, bombing hospitals and residential areas, and its genocidal disaster in Gaza, is a “futile and useless” attempt.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Recently, we witnessed an extraordinary summit of Islamic countries in Riyadh. The Palestinians, especially the people of Gaza, had built hope on the meeting, and it was expected that at the end of it, we would see a collective, serious, and deterrent decision by the Islamic countries. But, unfortunately, such expectations were not met.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The widespread crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza have sparked many reactions among the public opinion of the world. Until now, and in none of the Israeli wars and crimes committed against the Palestinians, we have ever seen such “widespread reactions” in the world, especially in Western countries, against the Zionist regime.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the United States repeatedly prevented and vetoed resolutions proposed by countries such as Brazil, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates in the Security Council in recent weeks, which called for the cessation of hostilities to send humanitarian aid to Gaza, the United Nations General Assembly, at the suggestion of the Arab countries and based on the “Unity for Peace” Resolution, decided to convene an “Emergency Special Session” on the Gaza war.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Europe is entering into its second winter since the valves of Russian gas pipelines were closed while it has managed to register a new record in the volume of its gas reserves. After the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, Europe set a crisis plan to reduce its reliance on Russian fuel. Accordingly, the gas storage level should be completed by 65% by August, 80% by October, and 90% by November 2023. But after the end of this summer, two months ahead of schedule, the gas storage level was completed by 90%.
Hamideh Safamanesh – International relations researcher
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In a situation where, in recent months, the United States made extensive efforts to establish relations between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime, and a few Arab governments in the region also started their relations with Tel Aviv, on the anniversary of Yom Kippur War, the surprise and large-scale attack by Hamas forces on occupied territories were carried out under the codename “Al-Aqsa Storm” and by launching five thousand rockets to nearby Jewish settlements and some areas in the center of Israel. In the meantime, Hamas forces entered the areas occupied by the Israelis – an attack that caught the world by surprise and overshadowed other important crises and wars, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Karabakh crisis.
Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Mazaheri – University professor
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Zionist regime’s attempt to make the Al-Aqsa Storm operation look illegitimate and thus legitimize its war crimes, bombing hospitals and residential areas, and its genocidal disaster in Gaza, is a “futile and useless” attempt.
