SCFR Online – Opinion: Developments in the South Caucasus and Central Asia indicate that transit competition has become an arena for a new staging of influence among Iran, Turkey, Russia, and China.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The upcoming Palestinian elections, after nearly two decades of hiatus, could affect the arrangement of political forces, the legitimacy of institutions, and the future path of Palestinian governance.
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.
Strategic Council Online – Guest Note: Although the Zionist regime was an economy focused on agriculture and basic kibbutz until the 1970s, after the economic crises in the 1970s and the political affinity of this regime with the United States, economic governance in occupied Palestine witnessed a change and the focus switched to investing in new technologies. During the last two decades, the Israeli regime developed an exogenous economy based on technological industries to such an extent that, contrary to the desire of its traditional ally (America), this type of cooperation expanded to a close bond with China in the technology field.
Strategic Council Online – Guest Opinion: After the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, the Palestinian Resistance groups tried to present a new tactic in line with the interests of the Resistance, which resulted in the longest war against the Zionist regime since the beginning of the announcement of the existence of this regime. One of the major actors of the Resistance front, which has become a security concern in the past decades against the national security doctrine of the Israeli regime, is undoubtedly Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
