Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the end of World War II, Germany was among the European governments that did the most “good service” to the Zionist regime; the reason for this is quite clear. Germany considers itself “indebted” to the Zionist regime because of Hitler’s behavior and actions towards the Jews. Therefore, in order to compensate for Hitler’s actions and “gain the trust” of the Zionists and at the same time “benefit from the Jewish lobby,” it did not neglect any service to Tel Aviv.
