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 – 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.

SCFR Online – Opinion: Great power competition is now pursued more in trade, currency, technology, and global supply chains than on the battlefields of military confrontation.

Strategic Council Online: An American issues expert said: The American strategy after one year of the Gaza war is to eradicate West Asia’s resistance groups, but this should be done in such a way that the United States would lose control of the situation because its interests are not in starting a full-scale war in the region.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Washington claims to be trying to manage tension and establish a ceasefire, especially in Lebanon, which has practically become the “driving engine” of the war. The fact that Americans talk about the reduction of tension in the official platforms and invite the parties to exercise restraint with what they do in the field and do not hesitate to provide any military, security, economic, political, and diplomatic assistance to the Israeli regime to continue the war is in the open “contradiction.”
