SCFR Online – Opinion: The direct war of the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran, disruption of nuclear inspections, and intensification of great power competition have taken the non-proliferation crisis beyond the issue of Iran’s nuclear program.
SCFR Online – Opinion: In the Iran–U.S. equation, China pursues a cautious balance between its energy and transit interests with Tehran and considerations related to sanctions and competition with Washington.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The simultaneity of pressure on the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb has turned the geography of energy and shipping into a new arena for the emergence of new risks, costs, and leverage.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed on August 7, 2026, between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, is more than an answer to geopolitical vacuums; in practice, it faces a “deterrence dilemma” and “differing threat perception.” While this pact symbolizes a transition toward regional self-reliance, its first field tests and the complexities of relations with regional actors will determine its real meaning.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The reason for Washington’s reluctance to enter directly into war with Ansarullah is military and economic limitations, electoral considerations, and concern about the expansion of the crisis at two energy chokepoints.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Ansarullah’s recent lightning-fast operation and surprise advances on Yemen’s western coast have rapidly transformed the equations of the war in that country and developments in West Asia, and have challenged the calculations of Saudi Arabia, the United States, the West, and the Israeli regime.
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.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the past two weeks, the leaders and officials of the countries participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference known as COP28 gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to make efforts to limit global warming and increase the reduction of the role of fossil fuels in the world. Although the heavy shadow of the Israeli regime’s inhumane attacks on the Gaza Strip has cast a shadow on the conference, this year’s dry autumn and low rainfall and the dark and low rainfall winters of the past few years remind us that attention to climate change and addressing its causes and reasons is no longer a luxury or an unimportant issue, and neglecting it can directly endanger the food security, welfare, and life of the citizens of different countries, and as a result, face those governments with serious risks.

Strategic Council Online –Guest Post: Among the key elements that control and manage political – social behavioral patterns of nation states concerning establishment of order and provision of security is the advantage of access to fresh water.

Strategic Council Online – A university professor said that the withdrawal of the United States from its climatic obligations has caused a decline in the international resolve on this matter, adding that if the powers violate climate agreements and ignore them, small countries, following their example, are well prepared not to observe climate accords, especially with regard to the line-ups.
