SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
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.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on the Zionist regime affairs said: A few Arab governments that pursued normalization of relations with the Zionist regime do not have the interest and haste of the past due to the changing conditions in the region and the existence of the extreme right-wing cabinet in the occupied territories.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Middle East affairs commenting on the process of rapprochement of the Arabs and Syria and the developments that have taken place in this regard, said: Normalization of the relations of Arabs, especially Saudi Arabia and Syria, on the one hand, is due to global developments, especially the war in Ukraine and the US focus on that war and, the other, returns to the change in the policies of Riyadh.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A faculty member of the Institute of Strategic Studies says there has been a change in the global energy transmission lines after the Ukraine war began.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: Director of the Yemen Desk at Mersad Research Institute said that in the current situation, the ceasefire, which is tantamount to the end of the Saudi military aggression, should be considered a fixed issue.

Hassan Hanizadeh – Expert on Middle East affairs
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Saudi affairs stated that concerning the considerations the oil-producing countries had about the drop in oil prices, the decision to reduce supply by OPEC+ was probable.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: Director of the Yemen Desk at Mersad Research Institute said that in the current situation, the ceasefire, which is tantamount to the end of the Saudi military aggression, should be considered a fixed issue. He further emphasized: But the end of the internal conflict between the Yemeni groups concerning the partly conflicting interests of those groups and the support of the rival regional parties does not seem to be very accessible for such a capacity to develop their interests in the vital region of Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In recent weeks, a new round of political and diplomatic developments has begun in the region, the “starting point” of which should be considered the agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia to resume diplomatic relations.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Saudi affairs stated that concerning the considerations the oil-producing countries had about the drop in oil prices, the decision to reduce supply by OPEC+ was probable. He added: Bin Salman, with bitter experiences in the past, emphasizes that the US should give special privileges to Saudi Arabia in exchange for lowering the price of oil, removing the pressure and considering the interests of that country.
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An energy economics expert stated that the statements made regarding considering the UAE’s withdrawal from OPEC seem to be just a negotiating tactic, adding that disagreements have always existed in OPEC, and it is not a new issue. It is not the case that a country announces that it will leave OPEC to increase its production. Both UAE and Saudi Arabia have already produced much more than their quotas and have added to it, and they have not left OPEC either.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The strategic agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Beijing will help transform the political and security conditions and move towards stable peace and stability in the region.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Since the beginning of Saudi Arabia’s military attack on Yemen, political, military, and security relations between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi have gone through four different stages. Based on “unity and convergence” at the beginning of the war, bilateral ties have become “rivalries” after a while. This competition led to many “disagreements,s,” With its continuation, the two countries have passed the stage of disagreement and have “tension” with each other.

SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s active deterrence strategy, while increasing the costs of US intervention, has increasingly exposed the hidden rifts between Washington’s interests and those of the Israeli regime.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
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.
