SCFR Online – Opinion: London’s decision to provide military support to Saudi Arabia in the Yemen file, beyond a limited aerial mission, could confront Britain with broad legal, security, economic, and strategic consequences.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The acceleration of AI competition has shattered the boundaries of economic, military, intelligence, and cognitive power, turning this technology into a strategic component of national power.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The three-day visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington and his meeting with Donald Trump on September 24 and 25, 2026, accompanied by a ceremonial welcome at Andrews Air Force Base, was more a diplomatic display for managing the level of tensions than an indication of a breakthrough achievement in relations between the two powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Developments in the South Caucasus and Central Asia indicate that transit competition has become an arena for a new staging of influence among Iran, Turkey, Russia, and China.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The upcoming Palestinian elections, after nearly two decades of hiatus, could affect the arrangement of political forces, the legitimacy of institutions, and the future path of Palestinian governance.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Zionist regime, which enjoyed the comprehensive support of the United States in its recent aggression against Iran, initially believed that with the surprise in the early days, the war would end quickly and the Islamic Republic of Iran would be defeated. However, contrary to the calculations of the regime and the White House, Iran immediately seized the initiative and, in response to the attacks and aggression of the Zionist regime and in self-defense, inflicted irreparable blows on this regime. As a result, the regime was ultimately scrambling to stop the attacks.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The international community has prohibited attacks on nuclear facilities for clear reasons based on lived experiences, and various legal documents have emphasized this.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion: In recent weeks, we witnessed how the Israeli regime disrupted the peace-seeking negotiations between our country’s officials and the U.S., and out of concern that diplomatic agreements might not secure its interests and objectives, it launched an aggressive attack on our soil. This regime, which had convinced Donald Trump to withdraw from the JCPOA in 2018, also persuaded him in this attack to cover up the weaknesses of the Israeli regime and, using its superior military equipment, target Iran’s nuclear facilities, which were under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Strategic Council Online– Opinion: The Persian Gulf, as one of the most sensitive geopolitical regions in the world, is an arena for competition among regional and transregional powers, where the security and national interests of the actors take priority. This region holds strategic importance due to its vast energy reserves and the key role it plays in global oil and gas trade.
However, threats like environmental issues, smuggling, and energy security risks have added new complexities to its security equations. Iran, with the longest coastline in the Persian Gulf and a strategic geographical position, must protect its interests in a tense environment where extra-regional actors like the United States play a destructive role. In this framework, cooperation in specific areas serves as a tool to mitigate threats and strengthen our position in the regional balance of power.
