SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war was not merely a European crisis, but rather the starting point for the rearrangement of the global balance of power and a shift in the strategic behavior of great powers.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Great power competition is now pursued more in trade, currency, technology, and global supply chains than on the battlefields of military confrontation.
Strategic Council Online – Note: By disregarding Iran’s deterrence capabilities and political economy leverage in the Strait of Hormuz, Washington has reached a strategic deadlock from which military means are unable to extricate it.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Foreign policy analysis is valid when it evaluates decisions based on the information and circumstances prevailing at the time they were made, not on the basis of outcomes that only become apparent after the crisis has ended.
SCFR Online-Opinion: Sanctions are gradually transforming from classical financial instruments into complex mechanisms for the containment of technology, data, and global supply chains.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Damascus is an attempt to redefine France’s role in Syria following the recent political developments in that country; an effort pursued within the context of great power competition and the country’s security challenges.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Middle powers such as India, Turkey, Australia, and some Persian Gulf countries are no longer marginal actors, but are redefining global power equations through balancing diplomacy.
Strategic Council Online – Note: In today’s global politics, the creation of narratives has become as important as territorial control and economic management, and has turned into the main tool of great power competition.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After decades of relying on the U.S. security umbrella and institutions like NATO, Europe now finds itself in a position where it can no longer treat concepts such as “balance,” “deterrence,” and “strategic autonomy” as mere slogans.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent speech by the U.S. President at the Al Udeid military base in Qatar contained a crucial point. For the umpteenth time in recent weeks, Trump, while criticizing the Biden administration’s policy of shutting down Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan as a mistake, emphasized: “We will keep Bagram Air Base. We will not let it go, because it is only an hour away from China.”
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A regional affairs expert stated that the months-long history of conflict between the Israeli regime and Ansar Allah has shown that the leaders and structure of Ansar Allah will not collapse, even with continued intense attacks by the U.S. and the Zionist regime, nor with the potential assassination and loss of their leaders. They will continue their resistance and warfare against the Israeli regime. In reality, the Yemeni resistance has demonstrated that the Israeli regime is incapable of defeating or pushing back Ansar Allah from their positions in support of the people of Gaza and Palestine.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The U.S. stance on the tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi was based on urging restraint from both sides, as the United States fears Pakistan may grow closer to China and act as a strategic pivot in anti-American equations.
Strategic Online Council – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert stated that the Zionist regime’s policy of creating famine for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is “deliberate.” This policy is not only an attempt to weaken the Palestinian resistance but also part of a long-term strategy to alter the demographic composition of the Strip. The recent warning by the World Food Program about an imminent famine in Gaza has once again drawn global attention to the humanitarian crisis in the region. United Nations reports also indicate that over two million people in Gaza face severe food insecurity, exacerbated by the Zionist regime’s obstruction of humanitarian aid.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: The Secretary-General of the Iran-China Strategic Studies Think Tank stated that the temporary reduction of tariffs between the U.S. and China will not significantly alleviate the distrust among traders and investors, as U.S.-China trade relations during the Trump era remain highly challenging.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: A while ago, the Hamas movement announced direct negotiations with the U.S. government and an agreement to release Idan Alexander, a dual American-Israeli military prisoner. Later, a senior Hamas official confirmed the direct talks with the U.S. But what is the story behind this?
Strategic Council Online– Note: In recent weeks, the warmth of relations between Trump and Netanyahu has been questioned, and it seems that the two sides have had significant disagreements regarding the mechanisms for dealing with sensitive issues and challenges in the region, especially Iran, Hamas, Gaza, and Yemen.
Strategic Council Online –Opinion: The liquidity crisis in Iraq’s banking system, marked by a sharp decline in state banks’ cash reserves and disruptions in loan disbursements and salary payments, goes beyond a mere financial issue and could have political, diplomatic, and even security repercussions.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior European affairs analyst stated that the European Union needs military autonomy and responsibility to reduce its dependence on the United States and strengthen its defense capabilities. However, there are serious doubts about whether this can be achieved.
