Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

2026/05/28

SCFR Online – Opinion: The dominant discourse in the field of European energy security over the past two decades has revolved around diversification of supply sources and the gradual reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. This narrative, which gained particular momentum after the Ukraine gas crisis in 2006 and its intensification in 2014 and 2022, was based on the assumption that Europe could free itself from the geopolitical vulnerabilities arising from dependence on specific suppliers through investment in renewable energy, imports of liquefied natural gas from diversified sources, and the establishment of new infrastructure. However, a closer analysis of energy trade data and the structure of the global oil and gas supply chain presents a different picture. Europe has not only failed to meaningfully reduce its dependence on the Persian Gulf, but in some sectors — particularly in liquefied natural gas imports — this dependence has deepened. This reality, which is often overlooked in public discourse, raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of Europe’s energy security strategies and their impact on regional power equations.

The Challenge of Hezbollah’s Low-Cost “FPV” Drones for the Zionist Regime

2026/05/27

SCFR Online – Opinion: In modern warfare, it has always been assumed that the more expensive, and advanced the weapon—particularly from well-known companies—the more certain the victory will be. However, developments on the northern front of occupied Palestine in recent months have challenged this long-held belief. Here, the Zionist regime’s military, despite possessing the most advanced defense systems such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow, as well as fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets, Merkava tanks, and other modern equipment found in few countries worldwide, has effectively been rendered helpless against Hezbollah Lebanon’s few-hundred-dollar drones. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bitter admission regarding the inability to counter this threat, and his order to allocate an unlimited budget to find a solution, underscores the reality that the era of pure superiority through expensive technologies has come to an end.

2026/05/23

SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent visit of the President of the United States to China is significant from various aspects; because China is recognized as the world’s second-largest economic power and a growing economy. The Chinese are also advancing in various fields, including the space sector, artificial intelligence, and military industries; to the extent that in the military sector, whereas they previously lacked an aircraft carrier, they now possess their third aircraft carrier. On the other hand, the United States, as a superpower, has always regarded China as its rival and continues to view it as such today.

Strategic Council Online: In a statement addressing the European Union’s motives for supporting the United Arab Emirates (UAE) claim over the three Iranian islands, Dr. Kamal Kharazi, President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, cautioned UAE authorities to abandon their hostility towards Iran’s territorial integrity. He emphasized that they should return to dialogue instead of relying on external forces who support the UAE’s claim with economic motives. Such dialogue, based on historical facts and documented evidence, can lead to a peaceful resolution and foster stability in the region. Pursuing a path dictated by outsiders, however, will only lead to war and destruction.

Strategic Council Online: In a statement addressing the European Union’s motives for supporting the United Arab Emirates (UAE) claim over the three Iranian islands, Dr. Kamal Kharazi, President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, cautioned UAE authorities to abandon their hostility towards Iran’s territorial integrity. He emphasized that they should return to dialogue instead of relying on external forces who support the UAE’s claim with economic motives. Such dialogue, based on historical facts and documented evidence, can lead to a peaceful resolution and foster stability in the region. Pursuing a path dictated by outsiders, however, will only lead to war and destruction.

Ridiculous Claim by the Israeli Regime Against Hezbollah, Aimed at Expanding the War in the Region

Strategic Council Online: The President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations (SCFR) stated that Israel’s claim about the incident in the occupied Golan is a repeat of its assertion after bombing the Al-Ma’madani Hospital in Gaza, resulting in the martyrdom of 500 civilians, including innocent women and children, which was falsely attributed to Palestinian resistance.

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.’

Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

2026/05/28

SCFR Online – Opinion: The dominant discourse in the field of European energy security over the past two decades has revolved around diversification of supply sources and the gradual reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. This narrative, which gained particular momentum after the Ukraine gas crisis in 2006 and its intensification in 2014 and 2022, was based on the assumption that Europe could free itself from the geopolitical vulnerabilities arising from dependence on specific suppliers through investment in renewable energy, imports of liquefied natural gas from diversified sources, and the establishment of new infrastructure. However, a closer analysis of energy trade data and the structure of the global oil and gas supply chain presents a different picture. Europe has not only failed to meaningfully reduce its dependence on the Persian Gulf, but in some sectors — particularly in liquefied natural gas imports — this dependence has deepened. This reality, which is often overlooked in public discourse, raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of Europe’s energy security strategies and their impact on regional power equations.

The Challenge of Hezbollah’s Low-Cost “FPV” Drones for the Zionist Regime

2026/05/27

SCFR Online – Opinion: In modern warfare, it has always been assumed that the more expensive, and advanced the weapon—particularly from well-known companies—the more certain the victory will be. However, developments on the northern front of occupied Palestine in recent months have challenged this long-held belief. Here, the Zionist regime’s military, despite possessing the most advanced defense systems such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow, as well as fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets, Merkava tanks, and other modern equipment found in few countries worldwide, has effectively been rendered helpless against Hezbollah Lebanon’s few-hundred-dollar drones. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bitter admission regarding the inability to counter this threat, and his order to allocate an unlimited budget to find a solution, underscores the reality that the era of pure superiority through expensive technologies has come to an end.

SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent visit of the President of the United States to China is significant from various aspects; because China is recognized as the world’s second-largest economic power and a growing economy. The Chinese are also advancing in various fields, including the space sector, artificial intelligence, and military industries; to the extent that in the military sector, whereas they previously lacked an aircraft carrier, they now possess their third aircraft carrier. On the other hand, the United States, as a superpower, has always regarded China as its rival and continues to view it as such today.
