Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, two important events occurred in the energy market; first, the negative expectation shock in the field of oil supply, which led to an unprecedented rise in oil prices in recent years and second, the European and American approach to Russian energy (oil and gas) imports has intensified efforts to find alternative resources.

Prospect of Military Confrontation Between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the Zionist Regime

2025/06/07

Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated that the recent ceasefire agreement between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the U.S., mediated by Oman, led to the cessation of Ansarullah’s attacks on non-Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the suspension of American airstrikes. This agreement, reached after weeks of intense clashes—during which Ansarullah targeted the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier with missile and drone attacks, inflicting over a billion dollars in losses on the U.S.—marks a turning point in Yemen’s strategic equations. Ansarullah’s military successes, from downing MQ-9 Reaper drones to missile strikes on Ben Gurion Airport, which halted its operations and sent millions of Zionists to shelters, have solidified its position as a key player in the Axis of Resistance.

Strategic Council Online– Interview: A senior analyst on South Asian affairs stated that after a period of escalating tensions, which led to the mass expulsion of Afghan refugees from Pakistan and a downgrade in diplomatic relations between Islamabad and Kabul, the two sides have strategically resumed relations at the ambassador level. This development, which followed high-level consultations and coincided with an informal trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and China in Beijing, signals a shared willingness to rebuild trust and deepen security and economic cooperation. This diplomatic shift must be understood as the result of intersecting security, economic, and geopolitical factors.
