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.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent mobilization by certain members of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council toward more active participation in NATO security arrangements should not be interpreted as a sudden shift or fundamental transformation in these countries’ foreign policies.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs expert stated that analyzing the energy market, global market developments, and its opportunities and threats for Iran has today become a serious issue for our country. This issue has become even more important, particularly amid the global crises in Ukraine and the Persian Gulf, which have affected the price and demand for oil in our country.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An African affairs analyst stated: The West and Sahel region of Africa has today become one of the main axes of geopolitical competition among major powers, and the United States is worried that if China and Russia’s presence becomes solidified, it will be effectively eliminated from the economic and security spheres of this region.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior health-sector analyst stated that for Iran to become the regional pharmaceutical hub, it must shift the playing field in its favor. Iran’s strategy should be built on three pillars: speed, leveraging indigenous intelligence, and positive strategic dependence, to transform from a commodity seller into the architect and guarantor of regional health security.
Strategic Council Online- Interview: An analyst of subcontinent affairs stated: Chabahar has become the focal point of the intersection of India and America’s competition and cooperation; a place where diplomacy, economy, and geopolitics intertwine.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion: The experience of three and a half years of Russia’s war with Ukraine and the tensions it has had with the West within this framework have shown that the Russians have not only given in at any stage in the face of Western pressure, including sanctions, but this has also led to an escalation of tensions, differences, and conflicts, both in the region and in Russia-West relations. In practice, any effort in this regard has so far had at least negative results for the Ukrainians, and they have faced increased Russian attacks.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion: Russia’s recent nuclear exercises, under the direct supervision of Vladimir Putin, were not merely a military drill. Instead, they constituted a calculated show of force amidst a weakening diplomatic process and the suspension of a potential Trump-Putin meeting.
Online Strategic Council – Opinion: In a world where the international economy has become more than ever a network of interdependencies, even an old radio advertisement can spark a diplomatic-commercial crisis between two traditional allies.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An economic affairs expert said, “Chabahar is Iran’s only port in the Indian Ocean that can create a new geostrategic balance in the region and solidify Iran’s position as a central player in the regional economy.”
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the developments in the Ukraine war have shown that, despite expanding its military influence in Eastern Europe, NATO has failed to contain Russia and has become trapped in a strategic deadlock.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: A West Asia affairs analyst stated that the developments following the Gaza war demonstrated that Iran, by solidifying its geostrategic position and its military power-balancing capability, can become a decisive actor in the new security order of West Asia.

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 – 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.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent mobilization by certain members of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council toward more active participation in NATO security arrangements should not be interpreted as a sudden shift or fundamental transformation in these countries’ foreign policies.
