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 – Note: The initiative to revive the Hejaz Railway, beyond being a transportation project, constitutes an attempt to redefine geopolitics, the economy, and Turkey’s regional position; however, its realization appears to face significant financial, security, and institutional challenges.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Strait of Hormuz crisis is no longer merely the consequence of a military confrontation, but rather a sign of the transition from the US-centered maritime order to a new energy security structure involving the participation of emerging and influential powers.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Western liberalism, which after the collapse of communism in the late twentieth century considered itself the undisputed victor of the world order and promised an ideal future in political, economic, and cultural dimensions, has faced a multitude of security, identity, and management crises in the twenty-first century; crises that have not only called into question the effectiveness of international institutions but have also pushed this order into a stage of transition and uncertainty.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The global economy has entered a phase where competition among major powers is driven not by firing bullets, but through chips, supply chains, and technological standards. Economic security has become the main arena of strategic contention. In this landscape, Washington and Beijing are redefining the rules of the game, and its implications extend beyond bilateral relations, affecting the entire international order.
Strategic Council Online –Opinion: The international system is once again under a heavy shadow, fueled not by a nuclear explosion, but by the erosion of trust and the return of nuclear threat logic, pushing global security into an unstable state. This shadow has spread quietly and gradually, plunging the strategic calculations of major powers into a phase of profound ambiguity.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The new U.S. National Security Strategy, by abandoning a significant portion of multilateral commitments and relying on transactional logic, signals Washington’s entry into a new stage of power politics.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The new U.S. National Security Strategy is a sign of Washington’s gradual passage from the model of strategic liberalism and its entry into a phase of foreign policy in which the logic of deal-making, cost–benefit calculation, and the redefinition of commitments have replaced institution-centered value orientation; a transformation that carries profound consequences for the international order, traditional allies, and rivals.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent US movements in Lebanon indicate that Washington has likely distanced itself from the costly approach of disarming Hezbollah and has moved towards containing and managing its military capabilities.
