Reasons for the Ineffectiveness of Trump’s “Economic War” against Iran
SCFR Online – Opinion: The intensification of U.S. sanctions against Iran on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections indicates Washington’s inability to achieve its war objectives.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The intensification of U.S. sanctions against Iran on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections indicates Washington’s inability to achieve its war objectives.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition between Washington and Beijing over chips and artificial intelligence, simultaneously with the shifting of technological balances, has taken on new economic and security dimensions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit has created a new opportunity for Iran to transform its membership from a political achievement into economic and transit cooperation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: The Makkah Defense Pact can be seen as a sign of regional countries’ efforts to reduce security dependence on extra-regional powers and redefine the balance in West Asia.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war, by exhausting US military capability on one hand and strengthening European defense capacity on the other, has altered the balance of power in the European continent, cast uncertainty over NATO’s future, and is driving it toward a European NATO.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The dissolution of the SDF, although considered an achievement for Turkey’s security, does not put an end to the challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s aggression and expansionism, refugees, and Syria’s fragility.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US sanctions against Iran, despite extensive propaganda, face serious obstacles to success due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions tools and opposition from some of Tehran’s trading partners.
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 – Note: The process of recognizing Palestine by countries around the world, which has been met with opposition and anger from the Israeli regime, is noteworthy. The unprecedented move by various world countries to recognize the independent State of Palestine is entirely linked to the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and its genocidal and racist policies.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the recent United Nations meeting, which centered on recognizing the state of Palestine and the two-state solution, has sparked a wave of international reactions. Supporters of this plan see it as a step towards peace. Still, critics view it with skepticism and believe that this move is more of a tool to deceive public opinion and solidify the existence of the Zionist regime than to resolve the crisis. The initiative by France and some European countries is being proposed while the genocide in Gaza continues, and the West has so far taken no effective action to stop it. Some analysts say the primary goal of this plan is not the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but rather the disarmament of resistance groups and the isolation of Hamas—an action that, through superficial negotiations and apparent peace, paves the way for realizing the interests of the Israeli regime. Iran, by rejecting the two-state solution, presents a different narrative for the future of Palestine, based on a referendum involving all indigenous inhabitants of the land.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Russia affairs expert stated that Europe will face a complex security environment in the future, including increased militarization, economic challenges stemming from cutting dependence on Russian energy, and the need to redefine relations with the U.S. and NATO. As a result, without sustainable solutions, Europe may face greater existential, economic, and social threats in the future.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior European affairs analyst stated that the nuclear deterrence agreement between Britain and France marks a turning point in Europe’s security architecture. This pact not only addresses immediate threats, including those posed by Russia, but also lays the groundwork for long-term cooperation in cyber, space, and military domains. The success of this collaboration depends on the two nations’ commitment to fulfilling existing obligations and actively participating in new security arrangements.
Strategic Council Online – Guest Opinion: The recent nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, which are being conducted through the mediation of Oman, have once again attracted the attention of the international community. Although in the past, Iran, due to its differences and problems with the United States, mostly entered into negotiations on nuclear issues with European countries, especially the United Kingdom, France and Germany (EU3), in this period, due to specific regional and international conditions, and mainly due to the US President Donald Trump’s approach these negotiations have been limited to Iran and the United States, and other world powers are not present in the talks at the moment.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert considered the Iraqi Prime Minister’s visit to the UK and the agreements reached during this visit important for Iraq’s future in West Asia. He said that Iraq is on the path to transitioning from a “disorganized” state in terms of politics, economy, and security to a stable state in the region, economically, politically, and security-wise.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on regional issues said: In the future, we will witness the intensification of anti-immigration policies by European and American countries because these countries believe that many ISIS members are in various forms, especially in the form of immigrants to Europe and American countries have arrived. The following process needs to be addressed.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international lawyer and senior expert on international affairs said: The abstention and negative votes to the resolution of the Board of Governors regarding Iran should not overshadow the importance of the resolution’s content. In the past, there had been resolutions that were adopted with a similar voting ratio but that, nevertheless, ultimately left a negative impact on the nuclear dossier by shifting the course towards an unfavorable direction.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Following the escalation of tensions between Russia and Western countries due to the war in Ukraine, Moscow is looking for solutions to deal with the extensive sanctions of the United States and its allies.

SCFR Online – Opinion: The dissolution of the SDF, although considered an achievement for Turkey’s security, does not put an end to the challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s aggression and expansionism, refugees, and Syria’s fragility.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US sanctions against Iran, despite extensive propaganda, face serious obstacles to success due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions tools and opposition from some of Tehran’s trading partners.
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 – Note: The process of recognizing Palestine by countries around the world, which has been met with opposition and anger from the Israeli regime, is noteworthy. The unprecedented move by various world countries to recognize the independent State of Palestine is entirely linked to the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and its genocidal and racist policies.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the recent United Nations meeting, which centered on recognizing the state of Palestine and the two-state solution, has sparked a wave of international reactions. Supporters of this plan see it as a step towards peace. Still, critics view it with skepticism and believe that this move is more of a tool to deceive public opinion and solidify the existence of the Zionist regime than to resolve the crisis. The initiative by France and some European countries is being proposed while the genocide in Gaza continues, and the West has so far taken no effective action to stop it. Some analysts say the primary goal of this plan is not the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but rather the disarmament of resistance groups and the isolation of Hamas—an action that, through superficial negotiations and apparent peace, paves the way for realizing the interests of the Israeli regime. Iran, by rejecting the two-state solution, presents a different narrative for the future of Palestine, based on a referendum involving all indigenous inhabitants of the land.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Russia affairs expert stated that Europe will face a complex security environment in the future, including increased militarization, economic challenges stemming from cutting dependence on Russian energy, and the need to redefine relations with the U.S. and NATO. As a result, without sustainable solutions, Europe may face greater existential, economic, and social threats in the future.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior European affairs analyst stated that the nuclear deterrence agreement between Britain and France marks a turning point in Europe’s security architecture. This pact not only addresses immediate threats, including those posed by Russia, but also lays the groundwork for long-term cooperation in cyber, space, and military domains. The success of this collaboration depends on the two nations’ commitment to fulfilling existing obligations and actively participating in new security arrangements.
Strategic Council Online – Guest Opinion: The recent nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, which are being conducted through the mediation of Oman, have once again attracted the attention of the international community. Although in the past, Iran, due to its differences and problems with the United States, mostly entered into negotiations on nuclear issues with European countries, especially the United Kingdom, France and Germany (EU3), in this period, due to specific regional and international conditions, and mainly due to the US President Donald Trump’s approach these negotiations have been limited to Iran and the United States, and other world powers are not present in the talks at the moment.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert considered the Iraqi Prime Minister’s visit to the UK and the agreements reached during this visit important for Iraq’s future in West Asia. He said that Iraq is on the path to transitioning from a “disorganized” state in terms of politics, economy, and security to a stable state in the region, economically, politically, and security-wise.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on regional issues said: In the future, we will witness the intensification of anti-immigration policies by European and American countries because these countries believe that many ISIS members are in various forms, especially in the form of immigrants to Europe and American countries have arrived. The following process needs to be addressed.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international lawyer and senior expert on international affairs said: The abstention and negative votes to the resolution of the Board of Governors regarding Iran should not overshadow the importance of the resolution’s content. In the past, there had been resolutions that were adopted with a similar voting ratio but that, nevertheless, ultimately left a negative impact on the nuclear dossier by shifting the course towards an unfavorable direction.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Following the escalation of tensions between Russia and Western countries due to the war in Ukraine, Moscow is looking for solutions to deal with the extensive sanctions of the United States and its allies.
