Strategic Council Online-Opinion: It has been about six months since the Israeli regime attacked the Gaza Strip in October 2023.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Financial Action Task Force, FATF, announced on Friday, February 23, that the name of the Islamic Republic of Iran remains on the “blacklist” of this international organization. A decision that was not unexpected for the authorities of our country. According to the Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, one day before the release of the FATF statement, due to the current sanctions, Iran is looking for its own FATF, as it uses other tools instead of SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications). On this basis, it seems that while the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon were removed from the “Grey List” of FATF in the previous reviews in June 2024, the Islamic Republic of Iran is not trying to be exempted from the blacklist. But what kind of organization is FATF, and why are some in Iran against joining it? And what is the way out of this situation?
Strategic Council Online—Interview: A European affairs expert said that the European Union is trying to get Hungary’s consent in every possible way to provide financial aid to Ukraine from the European Union, so the release of 10 billion euros of the blocked budget of Hungary last year is justified.
Strategic Council Online: An expert on international affairs says, however, Moscow has managed a significant portion of the sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union under the influence of the Ukraine war; the costs incurred so far to curb the economic problems in this war will have long-term effects on the Russian economy; in other words, Russia has a tough choice ahead in the future.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the past two weeks, the leaders and officials of the countries participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference known as COP28 gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to make efforts to limit global warming and increase the reduction of the role of fossil fuels in the world. Although the heavy shadow of the Israeli regime’s inhumane attacks on the Gaza Strip has cast a shadow on the conference, this year’s dry autumn and low rainfall and the dark and low rainfall winters of the past few years remind us that attention to climate change and addressing its causes and reasons is no longer a luxury or an unimportant issue, and neglecting it can directly endanger the food security, welfare, and life of the citizens of different countries, and as a result, face those governments with serious risks.

Accordingly, the gas storage level should be completed by 65% by August, 80% by October, and 90% by November 2023. But after the end of this summer, two months ahead of schedule, the gas storage level was completed by 90%.
