SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between Washington and Beijing over chips and artificial intelligence, simultaneously with the shifting of technological balances, has taken on new economic and security dimensions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit has created a new opportunity for Iran to transform its membership from a political achievement into economic and transit cooperation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: The Makkah Defense Pact can be seen as a sign of regional countries’ efforts to reduce security dependence on extra-regional powers and redefine the balance in West Asia.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war, by exhausting US military capability on one hand and strengthening European defense capacity on the other, has altered the balance of power in the European continent, cast uncertainty over NATO’s future, and is driving it toward a European NATO.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The dissolution of the SDF, although considered an achievement for Turkey’s security, does not put an end to the challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s aggression and expansionism, refugees, and Syria’s fragility.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US sanctions against Iran, despite extensive propaganda, face serious obstacles to success due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions tools and opposition from some of Tehran’s trading partners.
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Repeated missile attacks on Syria can have several goals, including maintaining the atmosphere of tension, measuring Syrian air defense systems and radars, supporting terrorists, etc., but the coincidence of these attacks with the internal crisis of the Zionist regime strengthens this hypothesis and proves that this regime has resorted to the policy of “exporting a severe internal crisis.”
Hamid Khoshayand—Expert in regional issues
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Saudi affairs stated that concerning the considerations the oil-producing countries had about the drop in oil prices, the decision to reduce supply by OPEC+ was probable.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: During his two-day trip to Brussels and participation in the European Council meeting, Cypriot President Christodoulides evaluated the meeting with his European counterparts and some EU leaders positively and emphasized the greater involvement of the European Union in negotiations to solve the problem of Cyprus.

The European Union can provide initiatives and incentives to attract better Turkey’s positive stance to resolving Cyprus.

Strategic Council Online – Guest Opinion: The normalization of relations between Tehran and Riyadh, despite several decades of tension in Iran-Saudi Arabia relations, has created new speculations about the prospects of ties between the two countries. Despite many controversial cases between Iran and Saudi Arabia, there are many fears and hopes about the results of the resumption of relations between Tehran and Riyadh and its effects and regional consequences. Still, with the current conditions, it seems that the drivers are effective in improving the atmosphere of cooperation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and solving regional issues is stronger than the challenges and doubts in this regard.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An analyst of international affairs emphasized: Under the current situation, the US is not able to compete with China in Africa, but if it can advance its long-term plan in the form of sanctions or a war of chips, it can shock and deal a blow on China’s position in Africa and also affect the economy of that country.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to resume bilateral relations is West Asia’s most important political and diplomatic event.

Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Relations between Russia and the Zionist regime have always accompanied many ups and downs. In some cases, cooperation and coordination and some cases, conflict and disagreement have defined the relations of the parties. This situation became more evident after the Ukrainian War. Although Tel Aviv tried to show some neutrality towards the war in Ukraine from the beginning, the talks of its military aid to Ukraine led to a wave of differences between Tel Aviv and Moscow.
Mohammad Javad Ghahremani—Expert in international issues
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international law professor assessed the formation of the Commission of Inquiry on “Russian war crimes” by the Human Rights Council as a political action aimed at putting pressure on Moscow and said: The crimes committed in the Ukraine war by both sides should not be ignored, but the international legal organizations should investigate the real causes behind the beginning of the war in Ukraine and the main factors that led to the outbreak of the war.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on West Asia affairs called the central message of the US defense secretary’s visit to Baghdad as the declaration of their desire to maintain the presence of their troops in Iraq and stressed: The United States still wants and insists that its forces remain in Iraq. Even though it declared policy, Iraq’s prime minister stated that Baghdad needed no presence of foreign troops, and this policy would only stay at the announcement level.
Strategic Council Online-Interview: An Iraqi affairs expert emphasized that the US wants to maintain a military presence in Iraq and the region, adding that the US presence has no consequences other than insecurity in the region and an impact on the independence of decision-making in the governments that host them.
