SCFRonline– Opinion: Iran’s geopolitical power is not limited solely to oil and the Strait of Hormuz; the unintended emergence of disruptions in the future global food and energy security chains can also demonstrate Iran’s strategic importance.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Competition among great powers is no longer solely about oil; rather, control over rare minerals has now become the most important geopolitical arena for the global economy and technology.
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.
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.
SCFR Online–Opinion: By providing an extensive network of social, healthcare, educational, and post-war reconstruction services, Hezbollah has established a strong social base for itself among Lebanon’s Shiites and Sunnis, and even beyond that, among other segments of Lebanese society, including Christians. Hezbollah has never been an external actor imposed upon Lebanon; rather, it is a phenomenon fundamentally born out of the occupation and crimes of the Zionist regime and itself influenced by popular resistance.
SCFR Online– Opinion: Security and military developments in the region over recent months indicate that the ongoing crises and wars in Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syrian territory encompass broader dimensions of geopolitical and geostrategic transformations. In this context, the increased military presence and control of the Zionist regime over parts of the territories of these areas, along with proposals regarding the creation of buffer zones or even the expansion of security borders, have raised serious questions about the future of the regional order and its consequences for the countries of West Asia.
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.
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.
SCFR online: Dr. Kamal Kharrazi had an exclusive interview with CNN, on 3/9/2026. Here comes the full text.
Strategic Council Online: Dr. Seyyed Kamal Kharrazi warned that Zionists claim the right of global governance and believe they must one day dominate the world. In pursuing this goal, he stated, they—like ISIS—subscribe to the concept of “sacred violence.”
Strategic Council Online: The President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, in response to the question of how you interpret the Zionist regime’s aggression against Qatar, while condemning the aggression of the sinister Israeli regime against the territory of a country that plays a mediating role in stopping Israeli attacks on Gaza, said: Before the 12-day war, in a meeting with the Honorable Prime Minister of Qatar, in explaining the objectives of the United States and the Zionist regime for the entire region, I emphasized that we are all in the same boat and you should take the danger seriously.
Strategic Council Online – Dr. Seyed Kamal Kharazi, the President of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations (SCFR), analyzed the U.S. negotiation strategy and Iran’s lack of enthusiasm for it.

Strategic Council Online: In a detailed interview with the Egyptian newspaper Al-Youm, the President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations discussed the challenges and opportunities in the West Asia region.
Strategic Council Online: In response to the Financial Times reporter’s questions, Dr. Kharazi stated: In implementing foreign policy, there would be some differences in their [Pezeshkian/Jalili] approach. Still, in terms of strategy, they would follow the same because the strategy is set by the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Strategic Council Online: In an interview with Al-Alam Network, the President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations emphasized that in the current situation, the policy pursued by the allies of the Zionist regime is to prevent the spread of war and the collapse of Israel, and said: United States should prevent the continuation of Israeli crimes because if the current trend continues, there is a high possibility of the spread of the war.
