SCFR Online – Opinion: The future of the so-called Trump peace plan for Gaza, despite claims of an agreement on Hamas’s disarmament, remains shrouded in ambiguity due to structural deficiencies and opposition from key actors.
SCFR Online – Opinion: An examination of the mechanisms of the Israeli regime’s influence in the United States depicts a complex picture of shared interests, strategic dependencies, and the limitations of this relationship.
SCFR Online – Interview: The signing of the Makkah agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey has raised questions about the future of the region’s security structure and the position of these countries in West Asian equations. 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.
SCFR Online – Opinion: On Friday, August 7, the heads of state of three countries – Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan – signed a text under the title “Makkah Joint Defense Agreement.”
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—Interview: A former Iranian diplomat says the British government is behind the United Arab Emirates’ claims about the three islands. He says that considering the developments in the region, especially the war in Ukraine, London is trying to associate the European Union with these claims to put pressure on Tehran.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After Russia attacked Ukraine, the European Union and the United States imposed a series of wide-ranging sanctions against Russia in various economic, commercial, and energy fields. Of course, before Russia attacked Ukraine in 2022, the European Union had imposed other sanctions against Moscow following the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. However, these sanctions were not applied in the energy field because Russia supplied about 40% of oil and gas to 18 European countries. But after the Russian attack on Ukraine, European and US sanctions were applied in the field of energy more broadly and comprehensively.
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An international issues expert said the expansion of China’s nuclear arsenal should be analyzed in the framework of the strategy of “nuclear superiority,” in which a tripolar nuclear world will be formed. In this world, the idea of a nuclear war is more likely compared to the nuclear bipolar world.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Before the Russia-Ukraine war, few imagined the world would once again be thrust into the abyss of war and the tensions that accompany it. But now, the shadow of conflict looms over many parts of the globe.
Strategic Council Online: An American issues expert said: The American strategy after one year of the Gaza war is to eradicate West Asia’s resistance groups, but this should be done in such a way that the United States would lose control of the situation because its interests are not in starting a full-scale war in the region.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Washington claims to be trying to manage tension and establish a ceasefire, especially in Lebanon, which has practically become the “driving engine” of the war. The fact that Americans talk about the reduction of tension in the official platforms and invite the parties to exercise restraint with what they do in the field and do not hesitate to provide any military, security, economic, political, and diplomatic assistance to the Israeli regime to continue the war is in the open “contradiction.”
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international law expert said: In case of escalation of conflicts between the Israeli regime and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, there is a high probability that the countries whose nationals are among the peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL) will pressure the United Nations to remove them from the region.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international issues said that Russia’s threat to use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine war comes with a “deterrence” approach because the Russians currently have no ground for using nuclear weapons.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Ukraine’s attack on the Kursk region and seizing part of Russian territory is a turning point in the two-and-a-half-year war between Russia and Ukraine. In a full-scale psychological war, the United States and some European governments claimed that Iran was sending ballistic missiles to Russia. The claim aimed at putting pressure on Tehran and, in the meantime, justify arming Ukraine with long-range missiles from the United States and Europe. This is even though the Islamic Republic of Iran has clearly stated that it has not provided Russia with any missiles.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A researcher of West Asian issues said: Recently, thousands of people marched towards the Israeli embassy in London, demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza war and stopping the supply of arms to the Zionist regime. Meanwhile, inside the Occupied Territories, people are dissatisfied with the current situation and the continuation of the war and launch protest rallies. In this situation, can the pressure of Western public opinion on the statesmen of these countries lead to the intensification of efforts by America and Europe to end the war?

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Ukraine’s attack on the Kursk region and seizing part of Russian territory is a turning point in the two-and-a-half-year war between Russia and Ukraine. In a full-scale psychological war, the United States and some European governments claimed that Iran was sending ballistic missiles to Russia. The claim aimed at putting pressure on Tehran and, in the meantime, justify arming Ukraine with long-range missiles from the United States and Europe. This is even though the Islamic Republic of Iran has clearly stated that it has not provided Russia with any missiles.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A researcher of West Asian issues said: Recently, thousands of people marched towards the Israeli embassy in London, demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza war and stopping the supply of arms to the Zionist regime.

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.
