SCFR Online – Opinion: An examination of the mechanisms of the Israeli regime’s influence in the United States depicts a complex picture of shared interests, strategic dependencies, and the limitations of this relationship.
SCFR Online – Interview: The signing of the Makkah agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey has raised questions about the future of the region’s security structure and the position of these countries in West Asian equations. Can this agreement become a genuine collective defense mechanism, or does it have more of a political and deterrent function than creating new military capacity?

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 – Interview: An analyst of West Asian affairs and former Iranian diplomat in Beirut, stating that Hezbollah Lebanon has played a pivotal role in recent regional developments, remarked: “Hezbollah Lebanon has strengthened the Axis of Resistance in the Ramadan War.”

Strategic Council Online – Interview: A researcher on West Asian affairs stated: The 12-day war of the Israeli regime against Iran, despite its aggressive and destructive nature, can turn into a strategic opportunity for our country; a chance to legitimize defense policies and strengthen the Resistance Discourse in the international system. In a world where public opinion plays an increasing role in shaping policies, effective narrative-building about this war is the key to turning threat into opportunity. Iran, relying on public diplomacy and transnational media, can present the Israeli regime’s attacks as a blatant violation of international law and emphasize its legitimate right to defense and deterrence. Furthermore, by portraying itself as logical, resistant, and oppressed, it can pave the way for increased regional and global empathy. Ultimately, this war can provide a platform for domestic consensus, cohesion of the Resistance Axis, and redefining Iran’s position as a responsible actor in regional security equations.
Strategic Council Online– Interview: A researcher on West Asian affairs stated that following the end of the 12-day war between the Israeli regime and Iran, which began on June 12 with the regime’s aggressive attacks on our country’s soil, resulting in the martyrdom of several military commanders, nuclear scientists, and even civilians, many questions arose. Among them was how Iran managed to shift the regional balance of power in its favor despite the extensive attacks by the Israeli regime on our country.
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.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: An expert on regional and Iraq issues said that as long as the Gaza crisis, the threat of the US against the resistance movements in the region, and also the pressure on Iran as the main base of the resistance axis continues, in the shadow of these tensions, the confrontation between the US and the resistance groups in Iraq will continue.
