Strategic Council Online – Opinion: With Donald Trump’s return to the U.S. presidency, a new wave of economic protectionism in the form of tariff policies has impacted global trade. One of the first countries targeted by these tariffs was South Korea—a nation whose economy heavily relies on exports, particularly to the American market.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An energy affairs analyst stated that the recent imposed war by the Zionist regime and the U.S. against Iran, which Donald Trump described as a military success, has disrupted energy markets and intensified concerns over rising oil prices. This event once again underscored Iran’s decisive position in the oil and gas market.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia analyst stated that The Washington Post recently emphasized in a report that the attacks by the Zionist regime and the U.S. on Iran not only failed in their strategy to isolate Tehran but also altered the perspective of Persian Gulf countries regarding regional threats, identifying the Zionists as the primary destabilizing force in the region.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated that, given the Russian threat and the rise of militarism worldwide, European countries have concluded that they must cooperate with the U.S. in establishing a unified European defense shield and strengthening NATO. Consequently, they agreed to a five percent increase in NATO’s budget during the recent summit.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Every war, regardless of its duration (short or long) and how it ends (ceasefire, lifting siege, or peace), faces an issue called “The Day After.” The day after the war ends refers to the day when the consequences of the war gradually become apparent to the warring parties in various spheres, including political, military, social, economic, and others. The imposed war by the Zionist regime and America against Iran is no exception to this rule.
