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: An expert on West Asia affairs commenting on the unexpected resignation of a senior member of the Zionist regime’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s party from the ruling coalition said: Bennett’s government is in a fragile position and one more resignation could end up in the government’s collapse.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: Having stated that unfortunately election in Libya drives the wedge instead of creating a united Libya, a university professor said:” present situation has made a very complicated and dangerous circumstance in Libya and it seems that we will be witness the continuation of such crises and even more violent than the past, along with the intensification of internal and regional competitions”.
Strategic Council Online – Netanyahu’s ouster should be seen as an important “turning point” in the developments of recent years in the occupied territories. During the past 12 years, Netanyahu made great efforts to advance anti-Palestinian plans. He is stepping down despite the fact that, contrary to his criminal objectives and actions, Palestine and the resistance groups not only have not been weakened but have achieved important dimensions of power and strategic balance in the occupied territories. At the end of Netanyahu’s 12-year presidency, the “myth of Israel’s invincibility” was shattered.

Strategic Council Online: The UN Security Council statement on the need for Hizbollah disarmament has been released concurrently with Lebanon’s talks with the International Monetary Fund.

Strategic Council Online: If Trump is defeated and Joe Biden wins in US presidential race, the next government in the Zionist regime will be transferred to the Leader of the Blue and White Party Benny Gantz after 18 months, and this is considered a political game within the Zionist regime; but if Trump remains in power it is likely to extend Netanyahu’s term on the pretext of unfinished projects.
Hassan Hanizadeh – Middle East affairs expert
Strategic Council Online: Former Director General for Middle East Affairs at the IRI Ministry of Foreign Affairs, outlining the Zionist regime’s options to exit the current impasse, said: “Given the situation, the Tel Aviv government has suffered a meltdown and is unlikely to resolve it easily.” Qasem Mohebali said Netanyahu’s fall from power is still uncertain, noting that neither Netanyahu nor his rival Benny Gantz, the leader of the Blue and White center-right party, have won enough seats in parliament to form a government. Even if they form a coalition they cannot win more than half of the Knesset with 120 seats, he noted.
