Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated: Today, Ukraine is facing a set of structural corruption, intra-European divisions, a shift in America’s approach, and a legitimacy crisis for Zelenskyy, which has propelled the course of the war and the future of the European Union and NATO into an entirely new phase.
Strategic Council Online: The President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations stated, “Despite the signing of the 25-year Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement between Iran and China, a long path remains toward its full implementation. One key point both countries must observe is to move away from a project-based approach and instead adopt a program-oriented relationship by formulating a concrete action plan. This plan should be grounded in Iran’s national spatial planning framework and aligned with the mutual priorities of both nations as outlined in the 25-year Comprehensive Cooperation Document.”
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The new U.S. National Security Strategy document, which emphasizes the slogan “America First,” indicates that Washington has moved away from many previous patterns and shifted its focus from external interventions to the preservation of domestic security and the preservation of the Western Hemisphere. This document redefines threats, priorities, and America’s global role.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Although other revolutions have occurred between the Industrial Revolution and the artificial intelligence revolution, especially the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) revolution, and humanity has made remarkable progress along this path, in terms of fundamental transformations in the mode of production and social relations, it can be said that the transformations of artificial intelligence and the scope of its effects are perhaps similar to the Industrial Revolution but on a much larger scale. It is, in fact, a new revolution, much more profound and complex than the Industrial Revolution.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: Iran’s former ambassador to South Africa stated: “Trump’s decision to remove South Africa from the upcoming G20 summit is an irrational, reactionary decision lacking a legal basis. On one hand, it stems from Trump’s contemptuous and narcissistic outlook. On the other hand, it is a response to Pretoria’s prominent role in pursuing the legal case against the Israeli regime at the International Court of Justice.”
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A strategic affairs analyst said: Iran’s missile doctrine is not only part of its deterrent capability but also part of the security identity of the Islamic Republic of Iran and should not be weakened.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert said that U.S. President Donald Trump, in a phone call this week with Sanae Takaichi, asked her not to further escalate disputes with China. Earlier this month, Takaichi created a rare tension with Beijing by stating that “a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan could lead to military action by Japan,” remarks that drew a sharp reaction from China. Beijing demanded that she retract these statements, but the Japanese Prime Minister has not done so thus far, and Tokyo has only emphasized that its policy regarding Taiwan has not changed.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent trip of the Saudi Crown Prince to America was a targeted effort to solidify the strategic partnership with Washington, reduce political uncertainties, and strengthen Riyadh’s political role-playing.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Eurasian affairs analyst stated that the trilateral agreement between Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the United States on August 8, 2025, known as the “Trump Route,” is a turning point in the geopolitical equations of the South Caucasus. This agreement, ostensibly signed for peace and the establishment of a transit corridor between Baku and Nakhchivan, carries serious concerns. From the perspective of analysts, this plan is not merely an economic project but part of the U.S. strategy to enhance its influence in the region and contain regional powers such as Iran and Russia.
Strategic Council Online – Analysis: On the verge of finalizing the Baku-Yerevan peace agreement, the recent remarks by Mnatsakan Safaryan, Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister, regarding the potential handover of the “logistical management” of the Zangezur route to a foreign company have pushed the status of this 32-kilometer strip into a critical phase. The discussion of a foreign operator’s involvement coincides with the meeting between Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev in Abu Dhabi—a meeting that, according to regional media, primarily focused on this blocked route.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: According to what the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia authorities officially announce these days, the two South Caucasus countries are taking the last steps to reach a peace treaty.
Strategic Council Online: The former Iranian ambassador to Armenia said Armenia’s strategic closeness to Europe and America is not far from expected because Pashinyan’s government is worried that if another attack occurs on its borders, it will not be able to maintain its position and defend its country. Therefore, he is trying to arrange for allies in the West.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Last week, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced in a statement in the parliament his country’s intention to withdraw from the collective security pact consisting of several former Soviet states led by Russia. However, the exact time of this action has not yet been determined.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Caucasus affairs said: Following news reports that the Kremlin has implicitly confirmed that Russian peacekeepers are withdrawing from the Nagorno-Karabakh region and taking their weapons and equipment with them, this question is seriously raised: Does Russia want to hand over the South Caucasus region to the West?
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Caucasus affairs expert said: “If the trend of divergence among regional countries, especially Armenia and Azerbaijan, from Russia accelerates, Russians may show a more serious reaction and even prevent the traditional regional order change using force.”
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: In recent months, we have seen Armenia and Azerbaijan strengthen new military-security arrangements. The two countries are developing military and security relations and exchanges with European and extra-regional countries within an “escalating process.” Strengthening the weapons arsenals, reviewing membership in some military pacts, and increasing military purchases are among these measures.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: The former ambassador of Iran to the Republic of Azerbaijan said that the positions of the European Union’s foreign policy in support of Armenia and opposition to the Republic of Azerbaijan are in the context of challenging Russia’s role in the developments in the South Caucasus and also in the continuation of Europe’s conflict with Russia over Ukraine.
