SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US-Saudi nuclear agreement, despite legal and political ambiguities, could alter previous non-proliferation standards in West Asia and intensify nuclear competition, ushering it into a new phase.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Recent developments in Syria indicate an intensification of strategic rivalry between Turkey and the Israeli regime, but mutual considerations and the role of the United States have limited the likelihood of direct war.
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.”
SCFR Online – Note: Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, recently announced—more than four years after the commencement of military aggression against Ukraine—that he believes the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is drawing to a close.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent visit of the President of the United States to China is significant from various aspects; because China is recognized as the world’s second-largest economic power and a growing economy. The Chinese are also advancing in various fields, including the space sector, artificial intelligence, and military industries; to the extent that in the military sector, whereas they previously lacked an aircraft carrier, they now possess their third aircraft carrier. On the other hand, the United States, as a superpower, has always regarded China as its rival and continues to view it as such today.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The different policy that Europeans have adopted regarding the US war against Iran stems from disagreements that have emerged between the two sides in recent years, particularly during the Donald Trump administration.
SCFR Online – Note: Europe’s refusal to align with the United States in the war against Iran is not a temporary tactic, but rather a sign of strategic divergence and a move toward forced autonomy.
SCFR Online – Note: Over recent decades, support for the Zionist regime has been one of the few issues commanding bipartisan consensus in US foreign policy. Since the Cold War era, Republicans and Democrats have generally agreed on the necessity of preserving the security and survival of the Zionist regime as Washington’s most strategic ally in West Asia—and indeed, globally. However, developments in recent years—particularly the Gaza war, escalating regional conflicts, the expansion of tensions into Lebanon, and this regime’s recent warmongering against Iran—have caused this traditional consensus, especially within the Democratic Party, to face significant fractures.
SCFR Online – Note: Following the resumption of the US and Israeli regime’s war against Iran on February 28, certain divisions have emerged within the United States regarding this issue, both among the public and among political factions.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The four-point proposal announced by Xi Jinping, President of China, can be described as a new strategic framework for “peace and stability in West Asia and the Persian Gulf.”
SCFR Online – Note: Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced on Monday morning, April 12, 2026, via his Truth Social platform that the US Navy would block the Strait of Hormuz. This decision, taken in response to the failure of Islamabad’s negotiations with Pakistan, represents—from the perspective of international relations philosophy—not merely a tactical error, but rather a reproduction of the same self-destructive logic that, from the era of ancient Greek city-states to modern empires, has drawn all hegemons emerging from “pure coercion” into the abyss of destruction.
SCFR Online – Interview: Over the past month, profound and unusual developments have occurred within the military structure of the United States, which many analysts attribute to the policies of “Pete Hegseth,” the US Secretary of War.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Europe has spoken of “strategic autonomy” for years, but each new crisis reveals that the gap between its aspiration for self-reliance and the reality of its security dependence on the United States remains significantly unbridged.
