The Complexities and the Necessity of Confronting ISIS-Khorasan

Strategic Council Online – Note: With the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the issue of ISIS-Khorasan, the conflict between these two groups, and the expansion of the scope of their security threats in the region have become more critical than ever before, as the terrorist activities of this terrorist group disrupt regional security. In addition to this, support for suicide activities and armed individuals in the region has also put the security of Iran at risk. Therefore, ISIS-Khorasan is recognized as a significant threat to the eastern security of our country.

Characteristics and Strategic Consequences of Iran’s Historic Response to Zionist Regime

Strategic Council Online—Opinion: There are two different views about the Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile attacks against the Zionist regime. The first view is based on a superficial reading and a reductionist description that evaluates it as a low-impact and not-so-extensive operation. The second view, a realistic reading, sees Iran’s response as opening a new page of “balance of power” and “turning point” in regional equations, the effects and consequences of which will gradually emerge.

New East-West Corridor; First Operational Sign of Failed Abraham Accords

New East-West Corridor; First Operational Sign of Failed Abraham Accords

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The idea of developing transportation routes to boost trade in the Persian Gulf and eliminate the need for the strategic Strait of Hormuz was formed among the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council member states some years ago. To realize the idea, the rail transport corridor along the Persian Gulf was started in 2016 by launching the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council rail network. According to the agreement signed among the member states of the Council, each of the countries was expected to build and complete their rail network independently. Finally, after completing all national lines, the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council network would be launched by connecting the national rail networks of those countries. In this way, an Arab railway network would be formed, connecting all six Persian Gulf Cooperation Council member countries through a railway line of 2177 kilometers.
