Can this agreement become a genuine collective defense mechanism, or does it have more of a political and deterrent function than creating new military capacity?
SCFR Online – Opinion: The continuation of the US war against Iran, in addition to increasing operational costs, has called into question the actual capacity of the American arsenal to simultaneously fulfill security commitments on multiple fronts; an issue that affects deterrence, defense production capacity, and Washington’s resource prioritization.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Russia-Ukraine war and the war of the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran have been formed with different objectives and actors, but field and political developments indicate that they are not entirely separate from one another.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: On June 9, Saudi Arabia’s oil agreement with the United States expired. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced that Riyadh would not renew the 75-year-old contract that helped maintain the hegemony of the US dollar in international trade.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international issues said: the challenge between the West and Russia will remain strong, unless the American and European elections go in such a way that with Trump and the right-wing coming to power, the approaches to the war in Ukraine will somehow change so that the war would end by preserving Russia’s dignity. But if political changes do not occur at this level, the challenge between the West and Russia will continue due to the developments that have occurred, including the extension of European and American sanctions against Russia, as well as the increase of Western support for Ukraine.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Since 2000, Turkey has gradually shifted its foreign policy from the “Looking East” approach to the more traditional “Looking West” foreign policy. The most important reasons for this change in the structure of Turkey’s foreign policy were the developments in Iraq, the Syrian crisis, and Ankara’s failure to become a member state of the European Union. In addition to the above, the influence of people like President Erdogan and Davutoglu (former PM) on the change in Turkey’s foreign policy has been undeniable.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Last week, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced in a statement in the parliament his country’s intention to withdraw from the collective security pact consisting of several former Soviet states led by Russia. However, the exact time of this action has not yet been determined.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Palestinian issues said: What is being discussed about the ceasefire plans is not necessarily the issue of stopping the war in Gaza and the exchange of prisoners, but the important issue of formulating the post-war status for each of the two sides.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international issues said: Although the tensions and war of words between North Korea and South Korea over garbage balloons are not serious, they are important because they occur in the context of a historical and long-term tension.
