SCFRonline– Opinion: Iran’s geopolitical power is not limited solely to oil and the Strait of Hormuz; the unintended emergence of disruptions in the future global food and energy security chains can also demonstrate Iran’s strategic importance.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Competition among great powers is no longer solely about oil; rather, control over rare minerals has now become the most important geopolitical arena for the global economy and technology.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The confrontation between Iran and the West has moved beyond traditional military arenas and now continues in the realm of perception, data, and artificial intelligence.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s display of power in the recent imposed war and Washington’s turning away from its traditional allies have pushed Persian Gulf countries toward new partners in the East.
SCFR Online–Opinion: By providing an extensive network of social, healthcare, educational, and post-war reconstruction services, Hezbollah has established a strong social base for itself among Lebanon’s Shiites and Sunnis, and even beyond that, among other segments of Lebanese society, including Christians. Hezbollah has never been an external actor imposed upon Lebanon; rather, it is a phenomenon fundamentally born out of the occupation and crimes of the Zionist regime and itself influenced by popular resistance.
SCFR Online– Opinion: Security and military developments in the region over recent months indicate that the ongoing crises and wars in Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syrian territory encompass broader dimensions of geopolitical and geostrategic transformations. In this context, the increased military presence and control of the Zionist regime over parts of the territories of these areas, along with proposals regarding the creation of buffer zones or even the expansion of security borders, have raised serious questions about the future of the regional order and its consequences for the countries of West Asia.
SCFR Online – Note: Articles from Western think tanks confirm that, contrary to Western assumptions, the war has failed to cause Iran’s economy to collapse, and this situation has led Washington to seek a pathway for exiting the quagmire.
SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when regional security equations have reached a sensitive stage under the influence of Iran’s strategic confrontation with the United States and the Zionist regime, the question of the nature of Tehran’s defensive power has gained greater significance than ever before. While Washington and Tel Aviv rely on their technological superiority, the Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a model of deterrence that extends beyond the material calculations of the world’s classical militaries. This power, rooted in the connection between “the field” and “the people,” has not only altered the balance of power in recent conflicts but has also disrupted adversaries’ calculations when confronting Iran’s strategic depth.
Strategic Council Online: Dr. Seyed Kamal Kharrazi emphasized that any negotiation with the United States must be based on equal footing and mutual respect, and its agenda must be agreed upon in advance.
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An international affairs expert said, “Trump’s most important challenge in this period of his presidency for interacting with Russia is the war in Ukraine.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: An international issues expert said the expansion of China’s nuclear arsenal should be analyzed in the framework of the strategy of “nuclear superiority,” in which a tripolar nuclear world will be formed. In this world, the idea of a nuclear war is more likely compared to the nuclear bipolar world.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international issues said that Russia’s threat to use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine war comes with a “deterrence” approach because the Russians currently have no ground for using nuclear weapons.
Strategic Council Online — Interview: An expert on international issues emphasized that Russia’s position on “changing the nuclear doctrine” of this country is a deterrent measure aimed at reducing the level of the conflict and war with Ukraine supported by the West and the United States.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert said that the European Union is helping Ukraine not to defend the country of Ukraine but to defend its security against Russia; therefore, their financial aid to Ukraine will continue.
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An expert on international affairs said the US plan to deploy medium-range missiles in East Asia aims to create an offensive capability against China, adding that naturally, the deployment of these missiles by the United States in countries such as Australia or possibly in Japan and South Korea can lead to China’s counter-reaction and increase the level of tensions between the two countries.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international relations professor stated that Russia, after withdrawing ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, found itself in a situation similar to the United States, adding: The CTBT helped define nuclear de-escalation after the Cold War, but now, with both sides reducing their commitments to the treaty, speculations may begin about the possibility of nuclear tests.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international affairs said that although the European Union devoted all its diplomatic efforts in the past year to support Ukraine in the war with Russia did not get the desired result, noted: France as a superior and ambitious power of the European Union has failed so far in finding a solution for peace between Ukraine and Russia.
