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.”
Strategic Council Online – Note: The initiative to revive the Hejaz Railway, beyond being a transportation project, constitutes an attempt to redefine geopolitics, the economy, and Turkey’s regional position; however, its realization appears to face significant financial, security, and institutional challenges.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Strait of Hormuz crisis is no longer merely the consequence of a military confrontation, but rather a sign of the transition from the US-centered maritime order to a new energy security structure involving the participation of emerging and influential powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s active deterrence strategy, while increasing the costs of US intervention, has increasingly exposed the hidden rifts between Washington’s interests and those of the Israeli regime.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior analyst on Chinese affairs stated that China’s major military drill on September 3, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, is far more than a simple military event; it carries immense importance in today’s geopolitical equations. The presence of Vladimir Putin, Masoud Pezeshkian, and Kim Jong-un alongside Xi Jinping not only reflects the convergence of non-Western powers against pressure from the United States and NATO but also demonstrates Beijing’s efforts to consolidate its position as a decisive player in the global order. Among the 26 foreign leaders participating in this parade, none of the Western leaders are present except for Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia. Also attending are Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus; Prabowo Subianto, President of Indonesia; Aleksandar Vučić, President of Serbia; and Woo Won-sik, Speaker of South Korea’s National Assembly. Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General of the UN, will also be present on behalf of the organization.
This drill—considered one of the largest military maneuvers in China’s modern history—focuses on showcasing the latest defensive and offensive technologies, including hypersonic weapon systems and advanced communication networks whose capabilities could alter the balance of power in East Asia and even globally. This event is not merely a show of military force but also serves as a tool of deterrence and diplomacy. Under growing economic and diplomatic pressure, China is demonstrating through such drills that it possesses the ability to manage crises and reshape regional equations. In fact, Beijing is seizing this opportunity both to reassure its allies and to warn its rivals that East Asia is no longer under American dominance.
