SCFR Online – Opinion: Two contrasting narratives of Trump’s foreign policy – one “crisis as doctrine” and the other a “coherent doctrine” – present a complex picture of America’s attempt to redefine its role in the international system.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey under the motto “an attack on one is an attack on all,” is viewed by some analysts less as a full-fledged military coalition and more as an attempt to reduce security dependence on an external power and to establish a regional security mechanism.
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.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Despite the rivalries and the negative, hostile relations between the United States and Iran over the past nearly five decades, the past year was the most tense period in relations between the two countries.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert said: More than two years after the Al-Aqsa Storm, the question today is: What is the status of the Axis of Resistance, and has it collapsed?
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Southern Transitional Council’s field activities in eastern Yemen are part of the UAE’s strategy to contain the Axis of Resistance in the region.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recognition of Somaliland by the Zionist regime is considered a geopolitical move with security objectives and destabilizing consequences for Africa and the regional order.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: While West Asia faced numerous challenges in 2025, rebuilding the Axis of Resistance has become a necessity. Evidence and indications suggest that the rebuilding of this axis is proceeding through more flexible patterns.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated: By assassinating Yemeni executive officials, the Israeli regime has not only failed to achieve its military objectives, but its position has also been weakened in the diplomatic arena. In contrast, Yemen and the Resistance Front are continuing their path with greater cohesion, and the future outlook indicates that not only will their military capabilities not diminish, but their political standing will also be enhanced at the regional and global levels.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The escalating conflict between the Yemeni Resistance and the Zionist regime is a clear example of asymmetric confrontation with strategic consequences in the region. The missile operations of the Yemeni Resistance serve as a demonstration of this country’s strategic and military power and send a clear message to the Zionist regime and America regarding the costs of continuing the status quo. This has increased the legitimacy and influence of the Yemeni Resistance, led by Ansarullah, in the Arab world and turned it into an undeniable strategic actor.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated that the recent ceasefire agreement between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the U.S., mediated by Oman, led to the cessation of Ansarullah’s attacks on non-Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the suspension of American airstrikes. This agreement, reached after weeks of intense clashes—during which Ansarullah targeted the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier with missile and drone attacks, inflicting over a billion dollars in losses on the U.S.—marks a turning point in Yemen’s strategic equations. Ansarullah’s military successes, from downing MQ-9 Reaper drones to missile strikes on Ben Gurion Airport, which halted its operations and sent millions of Zionists to shelters, have solidified its position as a key player in the Axis of Resistance.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A regional affairs expert stated that the months-long history of conflict between the Israeli regime and Ansar Allah has shown that the leaders and structure of Ansar Allah will not collapse, even with continued intense attacks by the U.S. and the Zionist regime, nor with the potential assassination and loss of their leaders. They will continue their resistance and warfare against the Israeli regime. In reality, the Yemeni resistance has demonstrated that the Israeli regime is incapable of defeating or pushing back Ansar Allah from their positions in support of the people of Gaza and Palestine.
strategic Council Online – Opinion: After more than three weeks of military aggression and unprecedented and widespread bombing of various cities in Yemen, the US government has not yet gained significant and strategic achievements in line with its declared goals.
