Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

2026/05/28

SCFR Online – Opinion: The dominant discourse in the field of European energy security over the past two decades has revolved around diversification of supply sources and the gradual reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. This narrative, which gained particular momentum after the Ukraine gas crisis in 2006 and its intensification in 2014 and 2022, was based on the assumption that Europe could free itself from the geopolitical vulnerabilities arising from dependence on specific suppliers through investment in renewable energy, imports of liquefied natural gas from diversified sources, and the establishment of new infrastructure. However, a closer analysis of energy trade data and the structure of the global oil and gas supply chain presents a different picture. Europe has not only failed to meaningfully reduce its dependence on the Persian Gulf, but in some sectors — particularly in liquefied natural gas imports — this dependence has deepened. This reality, which is often overlooked in public discourse, raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of Europe’s energy security strategies and their impact on regional power equations.

The Challenge of Hezbollah’s Low-Cost “FPV” Drones for the Zionist Regime

The Challenge of Hezbollah’s Low-Cost “FPV” Drones for the Zionist Regime

2026/05/27

SCFR Online – Opinion: In modern warfare, it has always been assumed that the more expensive, and advanced the weapon—particularly from well-known companies—the more certain the victory will be. However, developments on the northern front of occupied Palestine in recent months have challenged this long-held belief. Here, the Zionist regime’s military, despite possessing the most advanced defense systems such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow, as well as fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets, Merkava tanks, and other modern equipment found in few countries worldwide, has effectively been rendered helpless against Hezbollah Lebanon’s few-hundred-dollar drones. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bitter admission regarding the inability to counter this threat, and his order to allocate an unlimited budget to find a solution, underscores the reality that the era of pure superiority through expensive technologies has come to an end.

Temporary China–U.S. Trade Truce in the Shadow of Fundamental Distrust

2026/05/23

SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent visit of the President of the United States to China is significant from various aspects; because China is recognized as the world’s second-largest economic power and a growing economy. The Chinese are also advancing in various fields, including the space sector, artificial intelligence, and military industries; to the extent that in the military sector, whereas they previously lacked an aircraft carrier, they now possess their third aircraft carrier. On the other hand, the United States, as a superpower, has always regarded China as its rival and continues to view it as such today.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: A former Iranian diplomat says there are numerous problems in the relations between Iran and Europe that have roots in the differences and disputes between them, adding that “of course, it should also be noted that Europe’s policy of double standards is one of the basic problems that this group is involved with in some international issues, and has no acceptable argument to justify it, because only when the violation of international laws regarding Europe and its interests happen, the union claims confrontation, and if this happened to another country that has problems with Europe, the form of dealing is different or it may be associated with the violator.”

Strategic Council Online- A glance at the biography of the ring-leaders of most terrorist-excommunicated groups and also a short review on the biography of the most elements of armed acts which led to the terror of many scientists, thinkers and artists in the world of Islam show that these criminals have spent a part of the their lives clandestinely in the occupied Palestine, and have been trained, from A to Z, by Zionists to commit the most violent and homicide operations. It means within70+ years after the establishment of the fabricated Zionist regime, the occupied Palestine “has never been as a country, but as a garrison of terrorist” and a place to train and encourage the most brutal terrorists. This is the very important and bitter reality that His Eminence the Leader referred to in his message on the occasion of Quds Day this year and further added that struggling against the Regime which, from the day one of its occupation of Palestine, transformed the Holy Land to a training home to terrorism, is a struggle against cruelty and thus it is incumbent on all.

This narrative, which gained particular momentum after the Ukraine gas crisis in 2006 and its intensification in 2014 and 2022, was based on the assumption that Europe could free itself from the geopolitical vulnerabilities arising from dependence on specific suppliers through investment in renewable energy, imports of liquefied natural gas from diversified sources, and the establishment of new infrastructure. However, a closer analysis of energy trade data and the structure of the global oil and gas supply chain presents a different picture. Europe has not only failed to meaningfully reduce its dependence on the Persian Gulf, but in some sectors — particularly in liquefied natural gas imports — this dependence has deepened. This reality, which is often overlooked in public discourse, raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of Europe’s energy security strategies and their impact on regional power equations.

The Challenge of Hezbollah’s Low-Cost “FPV” Drones for the Zionist Regime

The Challenge of Hezbollah’s Low-Cost “FPV” Drones for the Zionist Regime

2026/05/27

SCFR Online – Opinion: In modern warfare, it has always been assumed that the more expensive, and advanced the weapon—particularly from well-known companies—the more certain the victory will be. However, developments on the northern front of occupied Palestine in recent months have challenged this long-held belief. Here, the Zionist regime’s military, despite possessing the most advanced defense systems such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow, as well as fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets, Merkava tanks, and other modern equipment found in few countries worldwide, has effectively been rendered helpless against Hezbollah Lebanon’s few-hundred-dollar drones. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bitter admission regarding the inability to counter this threat, and his order to allocate an unlimited budget to find a solution, underscores the reality that the era of pure superiority through expensive technologies has come to an end.

Temporary China–U.S. Trade Truce in the Shadow of Fundamental Distrust

2026/05/23

SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent visit of the President of the United States to China is significant from various aspects; because China is recognized as the world’s second-largest economic power and a growing economy. The Chinese are also advancing in various fields, including the space sector, artificial intelligence, and military industries; to the extent that in the military sector, whereas they previously lacked an aircraft carrier, they now possess their third aircraft carrier. On the other hand, the United States, as a superpower, has always regarded China as its rival and continues to view it as such today.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: A former Iranian diplomat says there are numerous problems in the relations between Iran and Europe that have roots in the differences and disputes between them, adding that “of course, it should also be noted that Europe’s policy of double standards is one of the basic problems that this group is involved with in some international issues, and has no acceptable argument to justify it, because only when the violation of international laws regarding Europe and its interests happen, the union claims confrontation, and if this happened to another country that has problems with Europe, the form of dealing is different or it may be associated with the violator.”

Zionist Regime, Base to Global Terrorism

2021/05/20

Strategic Council Online- A glance at the biography of the ring-leaders of most terrorist-excommunicated groups and also a short review on the biography of the most elements of armed acts which led to the terror of many scientists, thinkers and artists in the world of Islam show that these criminals have spent a part of the their lives clandestinely in the occupied Palestine, and have been trained, from A to Z, by Zionists to commit the most violent and homicide operations. It means within70+ years after the establishment of the fabricated Zionist regime, the occupied Palestine “has never been as a country, but as a garrison of terrorist” and a place to train and encourage the most brutal terrorists. This is the very important and bitter reality that His Eminence the Leader referred to in his message on the occasion of Quds Day this year and further added that struggling against the Regime which, from the day one of its occupation of Palestine, transformed the Holy Land to a training home to terrorism, is a struggle against cruelty and thus it is incumbent on all.
