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 – Interview: A senior Palestinian affairs analyst stated: To justify its crimes in Gaza, the Zionist regime employs two main strategies: using military censorship regarding the publication of operational details and presenting an official narrative by military spokespersons in Hebrew and Arabic. By relying on selective images and information, it attempts to make its military actions in Gaza seem believable. While Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, has announced readiness to expand military operations in Gaza and claimed that Palestinians would be allowed to leave the area, international criticism of this regime’s actions under the accusation of ethnic cleansing has intensified. By controlling Gaza’s borders, the Israeli regime’s military has restricted the exit of Palestinians and simultaneously carried out extensive bombings in the residential areas of Zeitoun and Sabra, which, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Organization, resulted in at least 33 deaths and widespread destruction. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan, in a joint statement, have warned of an impending famine in Gaza and called for a halt to the use of lethal force near aid distribution sites. The World Health Organization has also emphasized the necessity of medical equipment entering Gaza, but the Israeli regime continues to prevent sufficient humanitarian aid from being sent.
