Strategic Council Online—Interview: A researcher of Saudi affairs said that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arrived in Riyadh recently during a regional trip and had consultations with the Riyadh officials. It seems that one of the items on the agenda between Saudi Arabia and America, in addition to the Gaza war, is the process of normalizing relations between the Israeli regime and the Arab kingdom.
Strategic Council Online – Note: Iran has done more than its share for the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
Strategic Council Online: The President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations stated: “The US State Department spokesperson, after my interview with Al Jazeera, reiterated their past remarks, stating that they won’t allow Iran to build nuclear weapons, but ultimately said diplomacy is the best approach. Yes, we too prefer diplomacy since based on the Fatwa of our Supreme Leader are not for nuclear weapons; rather, we are advocates of diplomacy to make the Middle East a nuclear-free region. But, in case the Israeli regime threatens us with nuclear weapons, we surely cannot sit idle and wait for permission from others.”
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The strategic Strait of Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea have recently faced serious problems and crises due to the Gaza war. This is because of the protectionist approach of the Yemeni army forces toward Palestine, which, since the beginning of the Israeli regime’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, has included attacks on ships bound for or from the origin of the regime in the Red Sea.
They said they will continue their attacks until the Israeli regime’s military aggression in the Gaza Strip ends. The United States, as the most important supporter of the Israeli regime, was the first country to respond to this policy of Yemeni army forces and tried to form a global coalition to counter these attacks under the cover of supporting freedom of navigation, which, of course, failed because of conflicts of interests of Western countries and ended in the actions of the US and British attacks on positions in Yemen. Of course, although European countries were not seriously involved in the American coalition, they have numerous and complex interests in this inflammatory, and as a result, have adopted a particular and independent approach.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on regional issues said Qatari authorities will definitely resist Western pressure to expel Hamas leaders from their territory, and probably the United States will not move towards a zero-hundred equation in this regard because if the Hamas leaders remain in Qatar, which is an ally of the United States, is better than moving to a country outside the power of the United States to exert pressure.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Student protests in America take on new dimensions every day.
Because the university enjoys higher public trust and social capital than other civil and social institutions and is, therefore, more effective, the current protests put the U.S. government in a “difficult situation” that is clear in the statements of current and former U.S. officials.

Strategic Council online: Describing certain aspects of martyr Soleimani’s personality, the head of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations underlined that martyr Soleimani had multiple faces of personality; he was as much a commander as he was a diplomat, a cultural and media person as well as well-versed in the economy.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In his third visit to Athens in the past seven months, Boyar Osmani, the Foreign Minister of North Macedonia, while expressing full satisfaction over the process of bilateral relations between Skopje and Athens, described the relations as a model of good neighborliness and spoke about the foundation of sustainable cooperation based on trust and mutual respect. Referring to the Prespa Agreement between Greece and North Macedonia in 2018, he referred to it as the basis for further strengthening bilateral relations and cooperation, and appreciated Greece’s support for its country’s accession to the European Union.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Latin America affairs commenting on the resumption of negotiations between the Venezuelan government and political opposition after a year-long suspension and the subsequent reduction of some US sanctions against Nicolas Maduro’s government, said: These days, in terms of the American foreign policy, Venezuela is preferred in comparison to many countries, including some countries in the Middle East; because they can deal with this country more easily and due to its proximity, they buy cheaper oil from Caracas.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on the Middle East affairs pointing out that the media of the Zionist regime claimed that in recent weeks the authorities of the regime held meetings with the representatives of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco to define a joint defense mechanism called the Cyber Iron Dome, said: Although the location of the quadrilateral meeting has not been specified by the media of the Zionist regime, it seems that the regime, after failing to form a Hebrew-Arab front against Iran, is now seeking to infiltrate and conduct electronic espionage activities in Arab countries in the region.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Russian affairs emphasized: Based on the new doctrine of Russian foreign policy in the strategic approaches of that country, while trying to improve the status, we will be witness to the increase and expansion of ties with the East. It seems that Russia does not have a plan to change the level of its relations with Europe and the United States, and it pursues the reduction of dependence on Western countries, especially Europe.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In recent years, the Zionist regime has tried on the one hand to be accepted politically at the regional level, or as the American officials put it, to “merge into” the Middle East region, and on the other hand, to enter into economic, political and security arrangements at the regional level and beyond.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Although the recent meeting of Taliban elders and religious leaders was held in Kabul aimed at expediting the recognition of Taliban government at regional and international levels, but the government performance within the past months was in a way that makes the realization of such an objective as unachievable.

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Europe affairs saying that the US used the opportunity to confront Russia and pulled Europe towards itself in the new cold war it has started with China, added: At the Madrid summit, with a harsh and clear language, NATO called China its strategic priority for the next decade and declared Russia a direct inherent threat against the organization.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent NATO meeting in Spain on 29-30 of June 2022, regardless of the fact that it was held during the Ukraine crisis and the approach of the alliance to that crisis, reveals the issue of joining new members and the future direction of the alliance is important for another reason which is the presence of heads of four the Asian countries, namely Australia, South Korea, Japan and New Zealand, in that meeting, which are considered as being among NATO’s global partners. This shows the importance of examining NATO’s attitude towards the Asia-Pacific region.
