SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between Washington and Beijing over chips and artificial intelligence, simultaneously with the shifting of technological balances, has taken on new economic and security dimensions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit has created a new opportunity for Iran to transform its membership from a political achievement into economic and transit cooperation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: The Makkah Defense Pact can be seen as a sign of regional countries’ efforts to reduce security dependence on extra-regional powers and redefine the balance in West Asia.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war, by exhausting US military capability on one hand and strengthening European defense capacity on the other, has altered the balance of power in the European continent, cast uncertainty over NATO’s future, and is driving it toward a European NATO.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The dissolution of the SDF, although considered an achievement for Turkey’s security, does not put an end to the challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s aggression and expansionism, refugees, and Syria’s fragility.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US sanctions against Iran, despite extensive propaganda, face serious obstacles to success due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions tools and opposition from some of Tehran’s trading partners.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst wrote: A report by the Hebrew magazine “972” reveals that after October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime established a unit called the “Legitimization Unit” for media warfare and defaming Palestinian journalists. The goal of this unit is not security-related, but rather an effort to legitimize the actions of the Israeli regime in the eyes of public opinion and prevent international pressure. According to this report, the Israeli regime’s intelligence teams distort data and falsely link journalists to Hamas to both justify their killing and silence the Palestinian narrative. In some cases, a journalist was labeled as a “Hamas member” before being assassinated—an act that amounts to an unofficial death sentence in Gaza. The severe restrictions on foreign journalists entering Gaza are also part of this policy of narrative monopoly. According to statistics, over the past 22 months, at least 270 journalists have been killed in Gaza—an unprecedented number that exceeds the total number of journalists killed in World Wars, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The recent drone attack on journalists’ tents near Al-Shifa Hospital and the martyrdom of Al Jazeera journalists represent the peak of this targeted and inhumane policy. As a result, the Israeli regime’s war against Gaza is not only military but also an organized media battle to distort reality and legitimize war crimes.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Despite widespread disagreements between Netanyahu and the Chief of the General Staff of the Zionist regime’s army, Eyal Zamir, the main framework of the plan to occupy Gaza City was finally signed after the war cabinet agreed to seize Gaza City; a decision that could have extensive consequences in the Occupied Territories and the region.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A regional affairs expert stated that the remarks by Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, about holding general elections with the participation of Palestinians, while Gaza and the West Bank are facing the most severe attacks and threats, are a theatrical move aimed at legitimizing Mahmoud Abbas. This comes while Mahmoud Abbas suffers from severe illegitimacy among Palestinians, which is precisely why he raises such proposals.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated: The explicit support of Spain, Ireland, Portugal, and some political factions in the Netherlands and Britain for France’s decision to recognize the Palestinian state indicates that the public atmosphere in Europe is changing. Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, has announced that in September, coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly, his government will recognize the State of Palestine. This decision, amid the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the continuation of the Israeli regime’s military attacks, is considered a significant step in the diplomatic arena. Of course, it should not go unmentioned that France, as one of the founders of the Israeli regime’s nuclear program and a member of the Rome Statute, has a past full of legal and moral responsibilities towards this regime. In this vein, many analysts believe that if France wants to go beyond this symbolic decision and truly play a role in changing international relations regarding the Palestinian crisis, now is the time to reexamine its historical past.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion Significant advancements in artificial intelligence have created new and sometimes concerning capabilities across various fields, including the military domain. AI, which is inherently meant to serve human welfare, comfort, and progress, is increasingly being utilized in the military programs of major powers and disruptive actors worldwide, particularly in West Asia.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated that the recent ceasefire agreement between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the U.S., mediated by Oman, led to the cessation of Ansarullah’s attacks on non-Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the suspension of American airstrikes. This agreement, reached after weeks of intense clashes—during which Ansarullah targeted the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier with missile and drone attacks, inflicting over a billion dollars in losses on the U.S.—marks a turning point in Yemen’s strategic equations. Ansarullah’s military successes, from downing MQ-9 Reaper drones to missile strikes on Ben Gurion Airport, which halted its operations and sent millions of Zionists to shelters, have solidified its position as a key player in the Axis of Resistance.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Netanyahu’s cabinet, which has recently launched a new military operation in Gaza, is insanely massacring civilians. The continuation of the war until the complete destruction of Gaza and its takeover is the ultimate goal of the Zionist regime’s recent military operation.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs analyst stated that according to a recent poll by the Maariv newspaper, Netanyahu’s ruling coalition would secure only 49 seats in the Knesset (parliament) if new elections were held, losing one seat, while a minimum of 61 seats is required to form a government. This situation and military and judicial failures will place Netanyahu in the most critical phase of his leadership.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A regional affairs expert stated that the months-long history of conflict between the Israeli regime and Ansar Allah has shown that the leaders and structure of Ansar Allah will not collapse, even with continued intense attacks by the U.S. and the Zionist regime, nor with the potential assassination and loss of their leaders. They will continue their resistance and warfare against the Israeli regime. In reality, the Yemeni resistance has demonstrated that the Israeli regime is incapable of defeating or pushing back Ansar Allah from their positions in support of the people of Gaza and Palestine.

Of course, it should not go unmentioned that France, as one of the founders of the Israeli regime’s nuclear program and a member of the Rome Statute, has a past full of legal and moral responsibilities towards this regime. In this vein, many analysts believe that if France wants to go beyond this symbolic decision and truly play a role in changing international relations regarding the Palestinian crisis, now is the time to reexamine its historical past.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion Significant advancements in artificial intelligence have created new and sometimes concerning capabilities across various fields, including the military domain. AI, which is inherently meant to serve human welfare, comfort, and progress, is increasingly being utilized in the military programs of major powers and disruptive actors worldwide, particularly in West Asia.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated that the recent ceasefire agreement between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the U.S., mediated by Oman, led to the cessation of Ansarullah’s attacks on non-Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the suspension of American airstrikes. This agreement, reached after weeks of intense clashes—during which Ansarullah targeted the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier with missile and drone attacks, inflicting over a billion dollars in losses on the U.S.—marks a turning point in Yemen’s strategic equations. Ansarullah’s military successes, from downing MQ-9 Reaper drones to missile strikes on Ben Gurion Airport, which halted its operations and sent millions of Zionists to shelters, have solidified its position as a key player in the Axis of Resistance.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Netanyahu’s cabinet, which has recently launched a new military operation in Gaza, is insanely massacring civilians. The continuation of the war until the complete destruction of Gaza and its takeover is the ultimate goal of the Zionist regime’s recent military operation.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs analyst stated that according to a recent poll by the Maariv newspaper, Netanyahu’s ruling coalition would secure only 49 seats in the Knesset (parliament) if new elections were held, losing one seat, while a minimum of 61 seats is required to form a government. This situation and military and judicial failures will place Netanyahu in the most critical phase of his leadership.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A regional affairs expert stated that the months-long history of conflict between the Israeli regime and Ansar Allah has shown that the leaders and structure of Ansar Allah will not collapse, even with continued intense attacks by the U.S. and the Zionist regime, nor with the potential assassination and loss of their leaders. They will continue their resistance and warfare against the Israeli regime. In reality, the Yemeni resistance has demonstrated that the Israeli regime is incapable of defeating or pushing back Ansar Allah from their positions in support of the people of Gaza and Palestine.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The intensification of U.S. sanctions against Iran on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections indicates Washington’s inability to achieve its war objectives.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between Washington and Beijing over chips and artificial intelligence, simultaneously with the shifting of technological balances, has taken on new economic and security dimensions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit has created a new opportunity for Iran to transform its membership from a political achievement into economic and transit cooperation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: The Makkah Defense Pact can be seen as a sign of regional countries’ efforts to reduce security dependence on extra-regional powers and redefine the balance in West Asia.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war, by exhausting US military capability on one hand and strengthening European defense capacity on the other, has altered the balance of power in the European continent, cast uncertainty over NATO’s future, and is driving it toward a European NATO.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The dissolution of the SDF, although considered an achievement for Turkey’s security, does not put an end to the challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s aggression and expansionism, refugees, and Syria’s fragility.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US sanctions against Iran, despite extensive propaganda, face serious obstacles to success due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions tools and opposition from some of Tehran’s trading partners.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst wrote: A report by the Hebrew magazine “972” reveals that after October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime established a unit called the “Legitimization Unit” for media warfare and defaming Palestinian journalists. The goal of this unit is not security-related, but rather an effort to legitimize the actions of the Israeli regime in the eyes of public opinion and prevent international pressure. According to this report, the Israeli regime’s intelligence teams distort data and falsely link journalists to Hamas to both justify their killing and silence the Palestinian narrative. In some cases, a journalist was labeled as a “Hamas member” before being assassinated—an act that amounts to an unofficial death sentence in Gaza. The severe restrictions on foreign journalists entering Gaza are also part of this policy of narrative monopoly. According to statistics, over the past 22 months, at least 270 journalists have been killed in Gaza—an unprecedented number that exceeds the total number of journalists killed in World Wars, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The recent drone attack on journalists’ tents near Al-Shifa Hospital and the martyrdom of Al Jazeera journalists represent the peak of this targeted and inhumane policy. As a result, the Israeli regime’s war against Gaza is not only military but also an organized media battle to distort reality and legitimize war crimes.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Despite widespread disagreements between Netanyahu and the Chief of the General Staff of the Zionist regime’s army, Eyal Zamir, the main framework of the plan to occupy Gaza City was finally signed after the war cabinet agreed to seize Gaza City; a decision that could have extensive consequences in the Occupied Territories and the region.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A regional affairs expert stated that the remarks by Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, about holding general elections with the participation of Palestinians, while Gaza and the West Bank are facing the most severe attacks and threats, are a theatrical move aimed at legitimizing Mahmoud Abbas. This comes while Mahmoud Abbas suffers from severe illegitimacy among Palestinians, which is precisely why he raises such proposals.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated: The explicit support of Spain, Ireland, Portugal, and some political factions in the Netherlands and Britain for France’s decision to recognize the Palestinian state indicates that the public atmosphere in Europe is changing. Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, has announced that in September, coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly, his government will recognize the State of Palestine.
