Hormuz after the War; Transition from the Liberal Maritime Order to Multipolar Energy Geopolitics
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Strait of Hormuz crisis is no longer merely the consequence of a military confrontation, but rather a sign of the transition from the US-centered maritime order to a new energy security structure involving the participation of emerging and influential powers.
The Emergence of Divergence in US and Israeli Regime Interests Following the War Against Iran
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.
A Look at the Dimensions and Outlook of Tensions in Turkey-Israeli Regime Relations

Balancing in the chain of chokepoints; from sea-based deterrence to pluralistic diplomacy
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.
The Impact of the Ukraine War on the Rearrangement of the Global Balance of Power

The Human Mind as the Battlefield in the war of humans
SCFR Online – Opinion: The confrontation between Iran and the West has moved beyond traditional military arenas and now continues in the realm of perception, data, and artificial intelligence.
Persian Gulf Countries’ Doubts Regarding America’s Security Umbrella
SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s display of power in the recent imposed war and Washington’s turning away from its traditional allies have pushed Persian Gulf countries toward new partners in the East.
From the West’s Dream of Iran’s Collapse to the Reality of Its Resilience
SCFR Online – Note: Articles from Western think tanks confirm that, contrary to Western assumptions, the war has failed to cause Iran’s economy to collapse, and this situation has led Washington to seek a pathway for exiting the quagmire.
The Components of Iran’s Deterrence Power
SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when regional security equations have reached a sensitive stage under the influence of Iran’s strategic confrontation with the United States and the Zionist regime, the question of the nature of Tehran’s defensive power has gained greater significance than ever before. While Washington and Tel Aviv rely on their technological superiority, the Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a model of deterrence that extends beyond the material calculations of the world’s classical militaries. This power, rooted in the connection between “the field” and “the people,” has not only altered the balance of power in recent conflicts but has also disrupted adversaries’ calculations when confronting Iran’s strategic depth.
Arabs between Iran and NATO; A Questionable Redefinition of Persian Gulf Security
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent mobilization by certain members of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council toward more active participation in NATO security arrangements should not be interpreted as a sudden shift or fundamental transformation in these countries’ foreign policies.
The Persian Gulf; A Cold Battlefield Between Beijing and Washington

Within this context, a strategic competition has also emerged in the Persian Gulf region across economic, technological, and military spheres.
Opportunities Arising from the Intensification of the Transatlantic Divide
SCFR Online – Opinion: The growing divide between Europe and the United States is no longer merely a tactical disagreement, but rather a sign of strategic divergence and the redefinition of interests in a multipolar world.
The Reasons for the Failure of America’s Maximum Pressure Strategy Against Iran
SCFR Online – Note: While the objective of the US maximum pressure strategy was to compel Iran’s submission, the failure of this strategy—beyond economic and geopolitical challenges—has led Washington to seek a pathway for exiting this situation.
The Impact of West Asian Developments on the Ukraine War
SCFR Online – Note: Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, recently announced—more than four years after the commencement of military aggression against Ukraine—that he believes the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is drawing to a close.
Temporary China–U.S. Trade Truce in the Shadow of Fundamental Distrust
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent visit of the President of the United States to China is significant from various aspects; because China is recognized as the world’s second-largest economic power and a growing economy. The Chinese are also advancing in various fields, including the space sector, artificial intelligence, and military industries; to the extent that in the military sector, whereas they previously lacked an aircraft carrier, they now possess their third aircraft carrier. On the other hand, the United States, as a superpower, has always regarded China as its rival and continues to view it as such today.

The Components of Iran’s Deterrence Power
SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when regional security equations have reached a sensitive stage under the influence of Iran’s strategic confrontation with the United States and the Zionist regime, the question of the nature of Tehran’s defensive power has gained greater significance than ever before. While Washington and Tel Aviv rely on their technological superiority, the Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a model of deterrence that extends beyond the material calculations of the world’s classical militaries. This power, rooted in the connection between “the field” and “the people,” has not only altered the balance of power in recent conflicts but has also disrupted adversaries’ calculations when confronting Iran’s strategic depth.

Temporary China–U.S. Trade Truce in the Shadow of Fundamental Distrust
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent visit of the President of the United States to China is significant from various aspects; because China is recognized as the world’s second-largest economic power and a growing economy. The Chinese are also advancing in various fields, including the space sector, artificial intelligence, and military industries; to the extent that in the military sector, whereas they previously lacked an aircraft carrier, they now possess their third aircraft carrier. On the other hand, the United States, as a superpower, has always regarded China as its rival and continues to view it as such today.
