SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when the West Asia region, particularly in recent months, has been undergoing the most complex political and security developments of the past half-century, the sudden decision by the cabinet of the Zionist regime to recognize the Armenian genocide committed by Turkey, which has faced strong condemnation and opposition from Ankara and Baku, raises questions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent aggressive war launched by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran not only failed to strengthen NATO, but also exposed the structural weaknesses, deep divisions, and identity crisis of this alliance more than ever before.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between China and the United States is no longer solely about economics or military power, but is now centered on the control of algorithms, data, and the governance rules of artificial intelligence.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Washington trilateral agreement, by linking the end of occupation to political and security conditions, does not establish a sustainable peace; rather, it consolidates the occupation.
SCFRONLINE – Opinion: The war against Iran was not merely a military confrontation, but a turning point that challenged many of the security assumptions of West Asia and even the Western alliance system.
SCFRonline – Opinion: Unlike classical powers, Beijing pursues its preferred order not through territorial occupation, but through technology, capital, standard-setting, and digital governance.
SCFR online – Opinion: Competition among major powers has shifted from land to sea, and control of maritime chokepoints has become the most important component of global geopolitics.
Strategic Council Online—Opinion– The passage of 21,000 vessels and the transit of 57% of the world’s energy through the Bab al-Mandeb route has turned this region into one of the most important routes for the transfer of goods globally. A considerable amount of crude oil, diesel, and other oil products from the Middle East are transported to Europe, and Russian oil goes to India and China through this route.
Mahmoud Fazeli—Analyst of international affairs
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A university professor said that the escalation of misunderstandings and misinterpretations of Russia and Armenia of each other’s actions has strained the relations between the two countries. Apparently, they do not want to take a step towards resolving such misunderstandings and harmonizing views, adding that Russia should take an extensive view of this region to create a balance in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A researcher of the Research Center of the Expediency Council, while emphasizing the importance of the recent meeting between the presidents of Turkey and Russia in Sochi, said: The crisis in Ukraine and the pressures of the West have negatively affected Turkey’s balanced approach towards the West and Russia, and that the Russians are doubtful about Turkey’s future policies.
Strategic Council Online-Interview: An analyst of Russian issues emphasized that the West does not want to settle any of the dimensions of the Ukraine crisis and is only seeking the continuation and expansion of its dimensions because, according to the Russians, they did not fulfill the obligations they gave to Russia, and they have shown that they do not seek the interests of underdeveloped countries, especially in Africa.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: During Anthony Blinken’s two-day trip to Greece, defense and security issues were major part of his talks with Greek officials. The Greek side expressed interest in purchasing fifth generation of F-35 fighter jets, and the US Secretary of State, while expressing satisfaction with the decision of the Athens government, announced support of the US administration. It is expected that the official response of the United States to Greece’s request for the purchase of 20+20 F-35 fighter planes will be announced in early April.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In recent months, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its various consequences in regional and international arenas has become the main subject of analysts of politics and international relations. A war that has affected the security and stability of Eurasia, the order of international relations, food security, energy security and the like in various dimensions, and since the passage of more than three months from its beginning, there is still no clear end in sight.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: War in Ukraine showed once again that Turkey is a touch, meanwhile, an uneasy, but necessary partner for the West.
Mahmoud Faazeli, Analyst of international affairs
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Europe affairs, referring to the fruitless meeting of the Security Council on the Ukraine crisis, said: The crisis in Ukraine, as was expected, will not end easily, because Russia is neither simply ready for war nor to easily retreat from its positions.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international affairs, referring to Russia’s protest against the sale of Turkish drones to Ukraine and the ban on the import of some agricultural items from Turkey, said: The two sides, where their relationship and interests confluence, try to make the most of the leverage they have to put pressure on the other side.
Strategic Council Online – opinion: Turkey has conducted two separate military exercises with the Republic of Azerbaijan on the one hand and Pakistan and the Republic of Azerbaijan on the other hand, on limited land and sea scale. The Ankara government pursues specific targets of holding exercises that are geopolitically “purposeful” and “meaningful”, and the recent exercise is one of Turkey’s most important measures since the end of the Second Karabakh War.
