Strategic Council Online – Note: After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, relations between Iran and Egypt have been maintained at the level of the ‘interest section.’ Before anything else, this situation resulted from the “security vision” Egypt’s foreign policy adopted towards Iran, in addition to Cairo’s compliance with certain regional players and international pressures, especially from the United States.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on West Asia affairs said: Yemeni Ansarollah have targeted some Zionist ships or other ships bound for the occupied territories in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in the past weeks in support of the resistance of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. They have pledged to continue attacks on Israeli ships or ships bound for the occupied territories in the Red Sea until the Israeli regime stops its attacks on Gaza.
Strategic Council Online—Opinion– The passage of 21,000 vessels and the transit of 57% of the world’s energy through the Bab al-Mandeb route has turned this region into one of the most important routes for the transfer of goods globally. A considerable amount of crude oil, diesel, and other oil products from the Middle East are transported to Europe, and Russian oil goes to India and China through this route.

Strategic Council Online: The president of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations asked the Islamic countries to support South Africa in its contentious case against the Zionist regime’s genocide in Gaza.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Palestine affairs said: Yahya Sinwar, the head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip, has recently sent an important and long message to the head and members of the political bureau of the movement, in which he mentioned that the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (IQB) have launched an intense, harsh and unprecedented battle against the usurper forces, and the Zionist army has suffered heavy losses of life and equipment. In that message, Sinwar added: Al-Qassam brigades targeted at least 5,000 soldiers and officers during the ground war, one-third of whom were killed, one-third were seriously injured, and the last one-third suffered permanent disabilities. 750 units have been completely or partially destroyed at the level of military equipment and vehicles.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international lawyer said: South Africa’s success in filing a lawsuit against the Zionist regime in the International Court of Justice is capable of immediate destruction of the image of that regime, the tool to maintain it, justification of the crimes of the regime, the main lever of its lobbies, achievements of its propaganda and psychological warfare, its “security building” capacity and the political future of its statesmen.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In a situation where Western countries and the United States are not ready to take action to stop the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza, apparently, the only concern they have is the freedom of trade and shipping in the Red Sea!

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Palestine affairs said: Yahya Sinwar, the head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip, has recently sent an important and long message to the head and members of the political bureau of the movement, in which he mentioned that the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (IQB) have launched an intense, harsh and unprecedented battle against the usurper forces, and the Zionist army has suffered heavy losses of life and equipment. In that message, Sinwar added: Al-Qassam brigades targeted at least 5,000 soldiers and officers during the ground war, one-third of whom were killed, one-third were seriously injured, and the last one-third suffered permanent disabilities. 750 units have been completely or partially destroyed at the level of military equipment and vehicles.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international lawyer said: South Africa’s success in filing a lawsuit against the Zionist regime in the International Court of Justice is capable of immediate destruction of the image of that regime, the tool to maintain it, justification of the crimes of the regime, the main lever of its lobbies, achievements of its propaganda and psychological warfare, its “security building” capacity and the political future of its statesmen.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In a situation where Western countries and the United States are not ready to take action to stop the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza, apparently, the only concern they have is the freedom of trade and shipping in the Red Sea!
