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 – Opinion: New U.S. moves to sell F-35s to Turkey and Saudi Arabia have seriously challenged the regional air balance and intensified the security concerns of the Zionist regime.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asian affairs expert said: One of the main objectives of the recent attacks by the Israeli regime on Syria is to prevent the establishment of a strong central authority or government in Syria. Therefore, it is trying to prevent the comprehensive rule of the new government under the name of Ahmad al-Sharaa or al-Julani by attacking and invading southern Syria and various regions of the country, even Damascus.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A geostrategic affairs analyst said: The emerging Eurasian order is not merely an economic plan, but an effort to redefine the global order based on independence, multilateralism, and regional convergence.
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– Opinion: Erdogan’s strategic visit to the Persian Gulf creates an opportunity to strengthen Turkey’s regional role, alongside the economic consequences.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: An international affairs expert stated that Iran, by relying on its geo-economic capacities across various fields, should strive to solidify its position as a bridge connecting the Persian Gulf to Eurasia. However, regional and extra-regional competition for influence in Azerbaijan and Armenia has reached a critical point, where Iran’s security considerations and geopolitical red lines could turn the advancement of a multi-faceted strategy into a real test for the diplomatic apparatus.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: A West Asia affairs expert stated that the first parliamentary elections in Syria during the interim government’s tenure, led by Ahmad al-Shar, were held while the appointed composition of seats, the absence of a national census, and the influence of foreign actors challenge the real legitimacy and freedom of these elections.
Online Strategic Council – Interview: A senior Egyptian affairs analyst stated that Egypt, the first Arab country to sign a peace agreement with the Zionist regime in 1979, has now adopted a new strategy due to concerns about the regime’s expansionist policies. The developments following the 2023 Gaza war revealed that Tel Aviv, with the unconditional support of the United States, seeks to alter the balance of power in West Asia —a matter that has compelled Cairo to expand its relations with Iran and Turkey, two significant regional powers. By holding joint military exercises with Turkey, mediating in Iran’s nuclear dossier, and seeking military and technological cooperation, Egypt is trying to prevent the Zionists’ hegemony in the region. Although the formation of a trilateral military alliance seems unlikely for now, Cairo’s rapprochement with Tehran and Ankara is considered a potential threat to the Israeli regime. In fact, in the face of regional pressures and border crises, Egypt is seeking to create a strategic balance to curb Tel Aviv’s influence and enhance its own position in the West Asian equations.

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.
