SCFRonline – Opinion: The increase in public distrust of the French judicial system, which in recent surveys has reached approximately two-thirds of citizens, should be analyzed within a framework broader than temporary dissatisfaction or an emotional reaction to a particular criminal case.
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.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated: The United Nations Security Council recently, in an emergency meeting, condemned the Israeli regime’s attack on Doha and, in a joint statement, called for an immediate cessation of tensions and full respect for Qatar’s national sovereignty. This statement, issued by consensus of all 15 Security Council members, while declaring solidarity with Qatar and speaking about the victimization of civilians and the necessity of a ceasefire in Gaza, did not mention the Israeli regime by name; a silence that itself carries contradictory messages. In other words, this statement was more of a political message to Tel Aviv than a legally binding instrument against the Israeli regime, stating that the international community considers attacking peace mediators a red line. However, currently, there is no will to exert practical pressure on this regime.
Strategic Council Online in – Interview: A senior Arab world analyst stated: When 61 thousand people are killed in Gaza and the Security Council is not even willing to issue a simple resolution in condemnation of the Zionist regime, it means the international structure is entirely dysfunctional. In such a situation, it is the nations that must cry out and awaken the global conscience.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The international community has prohibited attacks on nuclear facilities for clear reasons based on lived experiences, and various legal documents have emphasized this.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on West Asian issues said: The recent resolution proposed by the United States to establish a ceasefire in Gaza and release prisoners was approved with 14 positive votes, one abstention (Russia), and no negative votes at the UN Security Council meeting. None of the parties to the Gaza war have yet agreed to this resolution.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international lawyer and senior expert on international affairs said: The abstention and negative votes to the resolution of the Board of Governors regarding Iran should not overshadow the importance of the resolution’s content. In the past, there had been resolutions that were adopted with a similar voting ratio but that, nevertheless, ultimately left a negative impact on the nuclear dossier by shifting the course towards an unfavorable direction.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international issues said that tearing up the UN Charter by the representative of the Israeli regime in response to the resolution on the full membership of Palestine means that the representative of this regime has admitted the end of what is called the state of Israel.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent report of the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the peacekeeping forces in Cyprus emphasizes lack of common ground between the two sides for peace talks to reach a common solution which has followed concerns among the Cypriot authorities as well as Greek parties. The Greek Cypriot side does not seem satisfied with the UN Secretary General’s reports as an official document of the UN Security Council published on January 13, because such reports are close to the “two societies” policy and include subjective and non-objective views. According to Nicosia, the correct report should ask all parties to adhere to a common solution to the Cyprus issue, which is the formation of a common bi-regional federation and political equality.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: An expert of international issues says even though the International Atomic Energy Agency has emphasized that it is seeking constructive engagement with Iran, due to pressures by the White House and the Zionist regime, and allegations leveled against Iran, the behavior of the IAEA towards Iran is non-professional and non-technical and is becoming politically-motivated, which is a misguided and wrong attitude.
Online Strategic Council–editorial: Even though Donald Trump remains adamant in weakening international organizations with his unilateral thinking, the world stands united in recognizing the role of the United Nations and the Security Council in settling disputes. This seems to be a positive development.

Strategic Council Online – An international affairs analyst referring to the formation of the International Resistance Front against US unilateral action to activate the trigger mechanism, said: “The Trump administration intends to gamble big with the last leaf at its disposal, but up to this point the issue could be considered the second failure for the Trump administration in its recent campaign against Iran.”

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated: The United Nations Security Council recently, in an emergency meeting, condemned the Israeli regime’s attack on Doha and, in a joint statement, called for an immediate cessation of tensions and full respect for Qatar’s national sovereignty. This statement, issued by consensus of all 15 Security Council members, while declaring solidarity with Qatar and speaking about the victimization of civilians and the necessity of a ceasefire in Gaza, did not mention the Israeli regime by name; a silence that itself carries contradictory messages. In other words, this statement was more of a political message to Tel Aviv than a legally binding instrument against the Israeli regime, stating that the international community considers attacking peace mediators a red line. However, currently, there is no will to exert practical pressure on this regime.
Strategic Council Online in – Interview: A senior Arab world analyst stated: When 61 thousand people are killed in Gaza and the Security Council is not even willing to issue a simple resolution in condemnation of the Zionist regime, it means the international structure is entirely dysfunctional. In such a situation, it is the nations that must cry out and awaken the global conscience.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The international community has prohibited attacks on nuclear facilities for clear reasons based on lived experiences, and various legal documents have emphasized this.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on West Asian issues said: The recent resolution proposed by the United States to establish a ceasefire in Gaza and release prisoners was approved with 14 positive votes, one abstention (Russia), and no negative votes at the UN Security Council meeting. None of the parties to the Gaza war have yet agreed to this resolution.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international lawyer and senior expert on international affairs said: The abstention and negative votes to the resolution of the Board of Governors regarding Iran should not overshadow the importance of the resolution’s content. In the past, there had been resolutions that were adopted with a similar voting ratio but that, nevertheless, ultimately left a negative impact on the nuclear dossier by shifting the course towards an unfavorable direction.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international issues said that tearing up the UN Charter by the representative of the Israeli regime in response to the resolution on the full membership of Palestine means that the representative of this regime has admitted the end of what is called the state of Israel.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent report of the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the peacekeeping forces in Cyprus emphasizes lack of common ground between the two sides for peace talks to reach a common solution which has followed concerns among the Cypriot authorities as well as Greek parties. The Greek Cypriot side does not seem satisfied with the UN Secretary General’s reports as an official document of the UN Security Council published on January 13, because such reports are close to the “two societies” policy and include subjective and non-objective views. According to Nicosia, the correct report should ask all parties to adhere to a common solution to the Cyprus issue, which is the formation of a common bi-regional federation and political equality.
Mahmoud Fazeli – International affairs analyst
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An expert of international issues says even though the International Atomic Energy Agency has emphasized that it is seeking constructive engagement with Iran, due to pressures by the White House and the Zionist regime, and allegations leveled against Iran, the behavior of the IAEA towards Iran is non-professional and non-technical and is becoming politically-motivated, which is a misguided and wrong attitude.
Online Strategic Council–editorial: Even though Donald Trump remains adamant in weakening international organizations with his unilateral thinking, the world stands united in recognizing the role of the United Nations and the Security Council in settling disputes. This seems to be a positive development.
Dr Abdorreza Farajirad- Geopolitical analyst
Strategic Council Online – An international affairs analyst referring to the formation of the International Resistance Front against US unilateral action to activate the trigger mechanism, said: “The Trump administration intends to gamble big with the last leaf at its disposal, but up to this point the issue could be considered the second failure for the Trump administration in its recent campaign against Iran.”
SCFRonline – Opinion: The increase in public distrust of the French judicial system, which in recent surveys has reached approximately two-thirds of citizens, should be analyzed within a framework broader than temporary dissatisfaction or an emotional reaction to a particular criminal case.
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.
