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 – Opinion: In the midst of America’s military deployment to West Asia and the Persian Gulf, which has increased tensions at the regional and global levels, the Zionist regime has seized the opportunity and accelerated the advancement of its ambitious projects, including the process of the illegal annexation of the West Bank to the occupied territories.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: At a time when regional tensions are increasing simultaneously with the escalation of the Iran-U.S. confrontation, the Gaza file has entered a new and complex phase; a phase that is not merely military, but profoundly political, legal, and strategic.
Strategic Council Online – Report: While the second phase of the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire has begun, the establishment of the “Peace Board” chaired by Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Davos meeting (22 January 2026) has become more than a technical mechanism for reconstruction and has turned into a test for the future of the international order.
Despite the signing of the charter by 22 out of 60 invited countries, the limited presence of global leaders at the Davos ceremony and the non-acceptance of this body by the European Union and key Western countries indicate a deep divide in global perceptions of the legitimacy of this mechanism.
In this report, drawing on the analysis of Hadi Borhani, a regional affairs expert, and international data, three strategic questions are addressed: Is the Peace Board an instrument for implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 or a substitute for the United Nations? How does the hierarchical architecture of this committee intensify executive challenges in Gaza? And finally, can this body create sustainable peace without the cooperation of Palestinians and with the concentration of power in the hands of a single individual?
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: A West Asian affairs analyst stated: Recent Palestinian developments and the resistance in Gaza have created a new context for redefining Iran’s strategic role in West Asia.
Strategic Council Online- Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the recent opinion of the International Court of Justice against the crimes of the Zionist regime is a turning point in the evolution of the global legal order; an opinion that, while weakening the political position of the Israeli regime, has once again revived the legal legitimacy of the Palestinian issue at the international level.
Strategic Council Online- Opinion: The approval of the bill to annex the West Bank in the Knesset is not only a clear violation of international law but could also trigger a new wave of instability and conflict in West Asia.
Online Strategic Council – Memo: In September 2025, the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry officially announced that the Israeli regime had committed genocide during the Gaza war. The commission clarified that this regime had carried out four of the five acts defined by the Convention as genocidal acts, and that the statements of Israeli regime officials also indicated an intent to destroy a national group (Palestinians).
Online Strategic Council – Interview: The crisis of legitimacy of the Israeli regime, both internationally and domestically, has become one of its main challenges during the two years of relentless crime in Gaza. The Zionist regime, once considered a strategic ally of the West and particularly the United States, has now clearly lost its legitimacy due to committing unprecedented massacres, escalating settlement activities, and racist behavior. This trend has led Arab and Islamic countries, and even some former allies, to view the Zionist regime as the leading cause of regional instability and to level widespread criticism against its policies.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs expert stated: Trump’s new plan for ending the Gaza war is accompanied by ambiguities and unilateral conditions that have created deep skepticism among the Resistance forces and a segment of Arab and Palestinian public opinion.
