SCFR Online – Opinion: The intensification of U.S. sanctions against Iran on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections indicates Washington’s inability to achieve its war objectives.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The intensification of U.S. sanctions against Iran on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections indicates Washington’s inability to achieve its war objectives.
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: The general direction of the global natural gas market does not make Syria an attractive option for gas transit.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Trump’s return to the White House has confronted Ukraine and its European supporters with important questions: Will the United States continue to provide weapons and financial support to Kiev, or, as Trump claims, will peace prevail in Ukraine-Russia relations? If an agreement is reached to end the war, what will be the fate of Ukraine’s lost territories? Will peace be a lasting agreement, or will it pave the way for another major conflict? These questions have not yet received a clear answer.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior energy expert said that Turkey’s determination to realize the regional strategy of transforming this country into an energy hub is very serious, especially after the fall of the Bashar al-Assad government.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on American affairs believes that Donald Trump’s territorial and sovereign threats against Denmark, Canada, and Mexico stem from his nationalistic approach and force these countries to accept the increase in trade tariffs from the United States.
Strategic Council Online: An international affairs expert said that Europe and the United States will definitely put pressure on various ruling groups to change their approach towards minorities, women, and different ethnic groups in Syria in order to normalize political and economic relations with Syria domestically, regionally, and internationally. Only then can the lifting of sanctions be justified for Europe and the United States.
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Over the past three years, Europe has acted during the Ukrainian conflict in a way that has allowed it to pursue disparate policy options, including supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, maintaining the structure of the European security order, and not bringing European military forces into the war. The escalation of military conflicts in Ukraine, the possibility of a reduction in military aid from Washington, and the possibility of a forced ceasefire have placed European governments in a difficult position.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior oil and energy expert said: It is unlikely that Qatar, with its production and development plans from the beginning, will want to change its gas export method from LNG to pipeline.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: A proxy war is when two countries fight each other indirectly by supporting the warring parties. Classic examples from the Cold War era include the Congo crisis in the 1960s and the Angola crisis in the 1970s when the Soviet Union and the United States supported each of the warring sides in a civil war with money, weapons, and sometimes soldiers, but never directly engaged in the war themselves. Accordingly, the approach of the United States and Europe, in the form of NATO and their all-out support for Ukraine, has all the hallmarks of a proxy war against Russia.
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An expert on American affairs said: Although, during Donald Trump’s presidency, the approach to the Chinese threat will be the first issue of American foreign policy, the American public will not support the government in a full-scale economic war with China.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Under the status quo, where there is a possibility of change in the West’s approaches due to Trump’s arrival in the White House, Russia is unlikely to launch a nuclear response to the Ukrainian missile attacks.
