SCFR Online – Opinion: The proliferation of smart unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb shows that control of the sea is not possible solely with large warships, submarines, and carrier-based aircraft.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The withdrawal of American forces from Iraq has marked the end of Washington’s direct military presence in the country; however, America’s financial, political, and security levers can still affect and cause problems for the future of this country.
SCFR Online – Opinion: After months of war and economic pressure, the situation between Iran and the United States has been placed between two conflicting logics; Washington insists on intensifying pressure to gain concessions, and Tehran does not accept negotiations under pressure.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The expansion of artificial intelligence and influence operations has drawn the field of conflict from physical space to the perceptual and algorithmic environment and has turned cognitive deterrence into a strategic necessity.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Riyadh, amid the Iran war, Yemeni pressure, and ambiguous Washington guarantees, has turned to flexible balancing in order to both preserve its security and increase its bargaining power.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: A researcher on West Asian affairs stated: The 12-day war of the Israeli regime against Iran, despite its aggressive and destructive nature, can turn into a strategic opportunity for our country; a chance to legitimize defense policies and strengthen the Resistance Discourse in the international system. In a world where public opinion plays an increasing role in shaping policies, effective narrative-building about this war is the key to turning threat into opportunity. Iran, relying on public diplomacy and transnational media, can present the Israeli regime’s attacks as a blatant violation of international law and emphasize its legitimate right to defense and deterrence. Furthermore, by portraying itself as logical, resistant, and oppressed, it can pave the way for increased regional and global empathy. Ultimately, this war can provide a platform for domestic consensus, cohesion of the Resistance Axis, and redefining Iran’s position as a responsible actor in regional security equations.
