Strategic Council Online – Interview: A technology sector expert stated: In the era of cyber wars and artificial intelligence, independence in the digital domain has become a critical issue; countries that achieve technological self-sufficiency sooner will shape their future security.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that NATO’s recent nuclear deterrence-centered exercise is not a sign of stability, but rather indicates the world’s return to the tense arms race between East and West.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Caucasus issues analyst stated that increased cooperation between the Republic of Azerbaijan and NATO, along with Western support for Baku, signifies the formation of a new front of geopolitical competition between NATO and Russia in the South Caucasus.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs analyst stated: The presence of Turkish forces in over 60 military positions in northern Iraq and repeated attacks on mountainous areas indicate Ankara’s long-term plan to expand its geopolitical influence in West Asia.
Strategic Council Online: Dr. Seyed Kamal Kharrazi emphasized that any negotiation with the United States must be based on equal footing and mutual respect, and its agenda must be agreed upon in advance.
Strategic Council Online: Dr. Kharrazi, President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, delivered a speech at the International Law Under Assault: Aggression and Defense conference held on November 16, 2025 (25 Aban 1404) at the Center for Political and International Studies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated: “If Iran can simultaneously strengthen its military deterrence and actively pursue and reinforce regionally focused dialogue-driven initiatives, it can assume a decisive role in shaping the new security architecture of the Persian Gulf.”
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asian affairs analyst stated: Recent Palestinian developments and the resistance in Gaza have created a new context for redefining Iran’s strategic role in West Asia.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A technology sector expert stated: In the era of cyber wars and artificial intelligence, independence in the digital domain has become a critical issue; countries that achieve technological self-sufficiency sooner will shape their future security.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion: One of the most significant impacts of the competition between China and the U.S. on Iran, which is considered an advantage, is that the issue of new technologies has shifted from a monopoly to a bipolar monopoly.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An East Asian affairs analyst stated: “U.S.-China competition during Trump’s second term has taken on a structural nature, expanding from the economic level to the realms of technology, military, and global order.”
Online Strategic Council – Interview: A researcher in the field of digital economy and artificial intelligence said: In today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) is considered one of the main pillars of global economic and geopolitical transformations. The increasing competition among major powers, such as the United States and China, along with the European Union’s efforts to become a leading continent in the field of artificial intelligence, underscores the growing importance of this technology in shaping the economic and political destinies of countries. Amidst this, Global South countries, including Iran, can play an effective role in shaping the digital future by utilizing their domestic capacities and international cooperation.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An expert in the field of artificial intelligence, regarding Trump’s monopolistic approach in the field of developing biological weapons and utilizing artificial intelligence, stated: A large part of Trump’s statements on this matter carries a political and propaganda message and is a kind of show of the United States’ leadership. If the United States can determine the budget and technical agenda in this field and persuade countries to join it, a framework in this area may emerge; however, this path will be complex and time-consuming.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion Significant advancements in artificial intelligence have created new and sometimes concerning capabilities across various fields, including the military domain. AI, which is inherently meant to serve human welfare, comfort, and progress, is increasingly being utilized in the military programs of major powers and disruptive actors worldwide, particularly in West Asia.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion: From the past to the present, there has been a close relationship between technology and international relations. From the introduction of the steam engine to the emergence of the telephone and radio, significant milestones were achieved that enabled faster and more direct communication, reducing the need for intermediaries and diplomatic bureaucracy. The development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems also have the potential to transform various aspects of human life, much like climate change did decades ago in the international system. The reason AI impacts the international system, particularly in diplomacy, is that politics and political issues are among the most complex human behaviors, and this complexity reaches its peak in the international arena.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: While China’s model may serve as a useful guide for Iran in artificial intelligence, it is essential to adjust these policies considering the market size, human resource capacity, and the domestic cultural and political context.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Emerging technologies, especially “artificial intelligence,” are dual-purpose enabling phenomena with many potential applications and act like a “double-edged sword.” If they are used sensibly and appropriately, they can serve humanity’s greater comfort and tranquility in all dimensions. Otherwise, they become destructive tools that can add to the problems of life in human societies in a profound and far-reaching way and have “devastating consequences,” especially in wars and armed conflicts;
such as what the Zionist regime is using in the Gaza War.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: China is trying to achieve a leading position in the global AI competition, especially in large language models (LLM), by unveiling the DeepSeek-V2 model. This move is taking place within the framework of Beijing’s overall policy to reduce dependence on Western technologies and counter US sanctions on chips and cloud computing.
