Strategic Council Online – Note: Hamas’s handing over the civilian management in Gaza is assessed as an attempt to reduce political pressures, facilitate reconstruction, and preserve the status of resistance in the future equations of Palestine.
SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when the West Asia region, particularly in recent months, has been undergoing the most complex political and security developments of the past half-century, the sudden decision by the cabinet of the Zionist regime to recognize the Armenian genocide committed by Turkey, which has faced strong condemnation and opposition from Ankara and Baku, raises questions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent aggressive war launched by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran not only failed to strengthen NATO, but also exposed the structural weaknesses, deep divisions, and identity crisis of this alliance more than ever before.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between China and the United States is no longer solely about economics or military power, but is now centered on the control of algorithms, data, and the governance rules of artificial intelligence.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Washington trilateral agreement, by linking the end of occupation to political and security conditions, does not establish a sustainable peace; rather, it consolidates the occupation.
SCFRONLINE – Opinion: The war against Iran was not merely a military confrontation, but a turning point that challenged many of the security assumptions of West Asia and even the Western alliance system.
SCFRonline – Opinion: Unlike classical powers, Beijing pursues its preferred order not through territorial occupation, but through technology, capital, standard-setting, and digital governance.
SCFR online – Opinion: Competition among major powers has shifted from land to sea, and control of maritime chokepoints has become the most important component of global geopolitics.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Latin American affairs expert believes that, although the United States of America is trying to impose “new colonialism” on the Latin American region, a new form of resistance, protest, and nationwide uprisings will likely emerge.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert stated that oil exports from the Kurdistan Region have resumed after a halt of over two years, following a tripartite agreement between Baghdad, Erbil, and oil companies. These exports had been suspended since March 2023 due to a ruling by the Paris arbitration court against Turkey. The court stated that Ankara had violated the 1973 pipeline agreement with Baghdad by allowing Erbil to export oil independently since 2014. The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced that oil exports have commenced at full capacity and are continuing without any technical issues. The ministry described the recent move as a significant step toward strengthening the management of national wealth. Officials of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) also described this event as historic and a significant achievement for the whole of Iraq. On the other hand, the Baghdad government announced that the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region could add between $ 400 million and $ 500 million monthly to the federal budget and play a significant role in boosting national revenues.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior international relations analyst stated that the recent visit of Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister, to New Delhi is not merely a routine diplomatic meeting; rather, it represents a decisive point in the geopolitical equations of South Asia and even the new global order. After four years of tension and distrust stemming from deadly border clashes in Ladakh and Beijing’s full-throated support for Islamabad during the four-day India-Pakistan war, Beijing and New Delhi are now moving towards economic and political reconciliation under circumstances where external variables, including Trump’s tariff pressures and India’s closeness to Russia, have complicated the equation.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: On June 9, Saudi Arabia’s oil agreement with the United States expired. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced that Riyadh would not renew the 75-year-old contract that helped maintain the hegemony of the US dollar in international trade. This action allows Riyadh to sell oil in different currencies, including yuan, euro, yen, etc., instead of the US dollar.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: Amid a report by the International Energy Agency that the global oil market will face a significant surplus at the end of this decade, Iran’s former representative in OPEC said: The IEA report does not apply to all countries and regions, but only some countries, especially the Europeans.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Iraq issues said: As Turkey gets closer to the central government of Iraq, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) should overlook many of its claims about its autonomy in the future and will become more dependent on the central government.
Strategic Council Online: An expert on international affairs says, however, Moscow has managed a significant portion of the sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union under the influence of the Ukraine war; the costs incurred so far to curb the economic problems in this war will have long-term effects on the Russian economy; in other words, Russia has a tough choice ahead in the future.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An analyst of international affairs considered the competition between the UAE and Saudi Arabia regarding mediation to solve the Ukraine crisis as part of the competitive strategy of the two countries in different political, economic, and geopolitical fields with the aim of expanding influence and creating soft power in the region and the world, especially in the centers of international power, and said: Saudi Arabia has more weight and leverage to play such a role in this framework.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A faculty member of the Institute of Strategic Studies says there has been a change in the global energy transmission lines after the Ukraine war began. He noted: With the continued shift in the oil trade routes of Russia, India and China have become strategic business partners for Moscow. This development has taken place in the shadow of the decline of the US influence among its key allies in the Middle East.
