Dimensions and challenges of the initiative to revive the Hejaz Railway

Hormuz after the War; Transition from the Liberal Maritime Order to Multipolar Energy Geopolitics

Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

The United States Strategy toward the Strait of Hormuz in Confrontation with China’s Interests
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the strategic geography of the global economy, certain regions attain such significance that they effectively become determining factors of the international order. The Strait of Hormuz is among these points; a narrow yet vital passage through which a considerable portion of the world’s energy transits, and whose stability is directly intertwined with the interests and economic security of many countries. However, the importance of the Strait of Hormuz is not limited solely to the volume of energy passing through it. This strait is also a stage upon which the limitations and challenges of great power politics are revealed. From China’s perspective, the policy of the United States regarding the security of this strategic chokepoint, rather than reflecting a stable order, demonstrates a set of contradictions and strategic difficulties that Washington faces in managing the regional order.

Saudi Oil Step in the Corridor of De-Dollarization
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: On June 9, Saudi Arabia’s oil agreement with the United States expired. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced that Riyadh would not renew the 75-year-old contract that helped maintain the hegemony of the US dollar in international trade. This action allows Riyadh to sell oil in different currencies, including yuan, euro, yen, etc., instead of the US dollar.
