SCFR Online – Opinion: The simultaneity of pressure on the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb has turned the geography of energy and shipping into a new arena for the emergence of new risks, costs, and leverage.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed on August 7, 2026, between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, is more than an answer to geopolitical vacuums; in practice, it faces a “deterrence dilemma” and “differing threat perception.” While this pact symbolizes a transition toward regional self-reliance, its first field tests and the complexities of relations with regional actors will determine its real meaning.

Strategic Council Online: Dr. Seyyed Kamal Kharazi said: “The President of the United States must know that peace cannot be achieved through the use of force, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will stand firm against intimidation, just as it defended itself during the eight-year Holy Defense and the 12-day Israeli-imposed war.”
Strategic Council Online: Dr. Seyyed Kamal Kharrazi warned that Zionists claim the right of global governance and believe they must one day dominate the world. In pursuing this goal, he stated, they—like ISIS—subscribe to the concept of “sacred violence.”

Strategic Council Online: In an interview with Al Jazeera, the President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations emphasized: ‘Now that Israel has come back to fighting, I believe that it’s a strategic mistake because not only they have to fight Hamas and Palestinians in Gaza, as well as in West Bank, but also, they have to fight politically with different countries who are supporting ceasefire, even Americans. And more than that, they have to fight with public opinion worldwide.’
