SCFR Online – Opinion: The direct war of the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran, disruption of nuclear inspections, and intensification of great power competition have taken the non-proliferation crisis beyond the issue of Iran’s nuclear program.
SCFR Online – Opinion: In the Iran–U.S. equation, China pursues a cautious balance between its energy and transit interests with Tehran and considerations related to sanctions and competition with Washington.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The simultaneity of pressure on the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb has turned the geography of energy and shipping into a new arena for the emergence of new risks, costs, and leverage.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed on August 7, 2026, between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, is more than an answer to geopolitical vacuums; in practice, it faces a “deterrence dilemma” and “differing threat perception.” While this pact symbolizes a transition toward regional self-reliance, its first field tests and the complexities of relations with regional actors will determine its real meaning.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The reason for Washington’s reluctance to enter directly into war with Ansarullah is military and economic limitations, electoral considerations, and concern about the expansion of the crisis at two energy chokepoints.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Ansarullah’s recent lightning-fast operation and surprise advances on Yemen’s western coast have rapidly transformed the equations of the war in that country and developments in West Asia, and have challenged the calculations of Saudi Arabia, the United States, the West, and the Israeli regime.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Middle East affairs, commenting on the reasons for the dissolution of Bennett’s cabinet in the Zionist regime said: The first reason is that Bennett’s government was formed in opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu.
Strategic Council Online: Pointing out to Benjamin Netanyahu’s failure to form a cabinet, and appointment of Yair Lapid, leader of moderate Yesh Atid party to form the cabinet, a middle-east expert said Lapid has the support of 56 seats out of 120 Knesset MPs but in order to form his cabinet, he still needs to make a coalition with other parties.
Strategic Council Online – An analyst of geopolitical affairs said: Joe Biden opposes Donald Trump’s policies towards Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian issue, and domestic opposition in Israel have acknowledged this and hope that by continuing protests and escalating pressures, Netanyahu would be ousted from power and be summoned to the court.
Strategic Council Online – An expert on the Middle East affairs said that the exchange of the roles and transfer of power from the Likud Party to the Blue and White Party seems to be certain due to the changes that have taken place in the White House.
Strategic Council Online: If Donald Trump is re-elected US President, Benjamin Netanyahu will remain in power, but if the Democratic candidate wins the next US election, the power will certainly shift to the Blue and White Party, and the Zionist regime will have to coordinate its policies with the Democratic Party of America.
