SCFR Online – Opinion: Following military failure, Trump has announced the implementation of sanctions and old economic pressures under the new label of “unprecedented economic operation” against Iran; however, Tehran can neutralize this blockade through four specific strategies.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Two contrasting narratives of Trump’s foreign policy – one “crisis as doctrine” and the other a “coherent doctrine” – present a complex picture of America’s attempt to redefine its role in the international system.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey under the motto “an attack on one is an attack on all,” is viewed by some analysts less as a full-fledged military coalition and more as an attempt to reduce security dependence on an external power and to establish a regional security mechanism.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert said that U.S. President Donald Trump, in a phone call this week with Sanae Takaichi, asked her not to further escalate disputes with China. Earlier this month, Takaichi created a rare tension with Beijing by stating that “a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan could lead to military action by Japan,” remarks that drew a sharp reaction from China. Beijing demanded that she retract these statements, but the Japanese Prime Minister has not done so thus far, and Tokyo has only emphasized that its policy regarding Taiwan has not changed.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The US and Japanese defense ministers have recently agreed to strengthen their bilateral alliance on security issues.
Strategic Council Online – Guest Opinion: Although some observers view the QUAD Security Dialogue as a fledgling military alliance focused solely on China’s growing regional influence and the rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region, its four members, the United States, India, Australia, and Japan, have stated their goal to deepen economic, diplomatic, and military ties among the four countries.
